This room was okay, the description does not give rise that this is a horror/ thriller room so we were a bit surprised to enter a dark creepy room. Steer clear if you’re scared of clowns. The first two puzzles weren’t the clearest but after that it flowed pretty well. Room was designed well for the theme, we just wished there wasn’t 100 items covered in do not touch stickers, there’s better ways to design and decorate rooms. This room is non- linear in some places so only giving one torch for two people makes this difficult. Overall okay, we’d give it a 4/10.

Enjoyed this room, if you don't like clowns steer clear! Although non linear, the room flowed well and all the puzzles made sense, some quite simple, others more challenging. Comfortably completed with two of us.

They were short staffed on the day so it wasn't the smoothest, but they were there when we needed a little help and were very pleasant to deal with.

Busy road in St Kilda, weekend parking wasn't too much trouble but week day would be harder

The atmosphere was eerie and all the props match the theme.It starts to feel very realistic as the game flows to a point were you forget that it is an escape room and you start believing it :D

Not my favourite room to date but had a decent flow of puzzles at the start which is always a plus when entering a small room with an overwhelming amount of props and set dressing. The Shadow Circus sadly went downhill when it came to logical progression between solves, as there were purposefully obscure clues in place and minimal sign posting to cause confusion. It wasn’t my cup of tea but it had some good moments.

Excellent theming and atmosphere with a couple good small scares. Nothing extravagant in terms of fear factor, but a good unsettling feel
