SEN3ES

We did this one a while back (2024) and it is definitely less polished than the other rooms here. If there was an option to give a neutral review, I would have selected that. It did feel like puzzles for puzzles' sake.

Overall an ok experience. It was a basic room. There’s no story. Puzzles were not linked to the story at all. Basically just solving puzzles after puzzles. Though i enjoyed most of them, except the pitch black room. Puzzles were generally straight forward. The rooms feels quite dated and plain. Mostly Non- linear so everyone will have something to do. 4 people should be max. GM was friendly and helpful.

Easy classic escape room puzzles. Fun for an afternoon activity in The Rocks. 2 adults, 2 kids completed with ease.

As my first experience with Paniq Room, I didn't really know what to expect when I booked SEN3ES but I ended up having a decent time overall. It was only after arriving were we told SEN3ES was the first room ever designed at the venue which made a lot of sense (ha) considering the basic nature of the puzzles, props and story. The flow got a little muddled towards the back half of the game as we were required to go back and forth between certain areas despite being told beforehand that that wouldn't be the case? I don't know. It was sometimes hard to tell what our general objective was or the purpose behind our actions, the story and environment did little to assist with this. An original room (hooray) with some fun moments but nothing to write home about. I understand Paniq also have as many as 3 Indestroom offerings which I don't think are super inspired. Boo.

A really interesting design with multiple tests for your senses. It can be really cool when a room bases around a central idea like this. The puzzles were decent, a bit more on the classic lock and key side but this is their oldest room so that’s to be expected I suppose. The set design felt a bit cluttered and strange, not really a great deal of cohesion and quite a few red herrings. I don’t really know what the story was here? Something magic but also Illuminati adjacent? Idk. A cool idea for a room but perhaps leaves a little to be desired in execution.

This is Paniq's first room and after having done every other room, you can definitely feel its age. The room does hold up as a solid escape room and one that is still worth doing. Keep in mind though, people who are hard of hearing, have eyesight problems or trouble smelling may have difficulty completing parts of this room.

6.5/10

5/10

Can't help but feel that these guys are resting on their laurels, location, and tourism. Disappointing room with lots of illogical puzzles. Emailed management to give feedback, no response.
