Clockworks

The sequel to the “Original Escape Room” in Flemington, Clockworks has a lot to like. Intricate puzzles that encourage a wide array of lateral thinking, super mechanical and leans into this in a great way. Some very unique puzzles, be prepared to take a bit of time mulling over each one as we did. As other reviews have mentioned, I really do love to be able to interact with 90%+ of things in a room so having nearly an entire wall adorned “do not touch” feels a bit old school at discouraging. Overall a good room that unfortunately has many of the old school knocks, maybe a face lift could be due.

This room was cool! An old school lock a key room, but some cool puzzles that we haven’t seen before that don’t rely on technology. Puzzles went well with the theming, and the room flowed together well. This room unfortunately fell into the trap of decorating with 100s of items and covering 99% of them in do not touch signs which is a bit disappointing to see, a redesign could really help with the immersion here. Our game master was great and overall this room was a solid 6.5/10.

The spiritual successor to the Original Escape Room in Flemington, Clockworks captures the same traditional rustic vibe as its counterpart but with plenty of new tricky additions, it’s really good fun! A moderate space, the room is decked out with an awesome assortment of authentic props and trinkets, it’s just a shame most of them aren’t able to be interacted with. It’s a true classic “mechanical” room in every sense with quirky handmade puzzles and locks galore, the flow demands some real attention to detail to succeed. Certain puzzles could use a facelift to add more wow factor but there’s still plenty to like about this one.

Very intricate room. LOTS of puzzles, we felt pushed to get through but flowed nicely. A couple of trickier parts, but some really nice and fun elements. A very good challenge and very memorable

While Burlesque is higher rated this is my favourite EscapeXperience room. Very clever puzzles and good level of difficulty - we almost escaped.

Wow! Awesome room! Some tricky parts but very creative!

I really enjoyed the puzzles in this room, challenging and unique and made for a fun experience. Have enjoyed all the rooms at EscapeXperience, can't decide if this one or Burlesque is my favourite, both great in different ways.

A really good, strong room! Has some unique puzzles and mechanics that I reeeeally liked! Some puzzles made more sense than others and some did not quite match the theme! Also some of the locks opened in a way that I am not used to opening them in, so we gave ourselves a harder time than we needed really. Great set design with a loooot of props, almost too many to make it hard to distinguish which ones are needed! But got there in the end and got out with 2 people ;)
