The Cabin

A really cohesive room, everything was on theme and puzzles flowed one to the next. The puzzles were on the easier side, all mechanical, but there was very little downtime.

Great room, these guys are the best.

Great set design. The puzzles were all linked to the room theme. Flow was good with a nice personal touch to the ending.

Another impressive room by Cipher, with a clever and personal ending. A smorgasbord of puzzles could be found in this room- from searching to physical to tactile - there’s something for everyone. If you’re looking for horror/scary you won’t find it in this room. It’s only spooky/creepy in theme (just the way I like it though!!!)

‘The Cabin’ is a thoroughly enjoyable escape room with a wonderful collection of puzzles. Known for their stunning set design, The Cipher Room cleverly maximise their use of the space within ‘The Cabin’s footprint. It truly feels as though you are exploring a rustic cabin, complete with worn-down wooden flooring and rusting corrugated iron walls and roof. ‘The Cabin’ is only spooky in theme — the experience itself isn’t scary or startling in any way. With a few surprising twists and turns along the way, the puzzle flow in ‘The Cabin’ was a standout. It felt as though we always knew which puzzle to tackle next and that flow was incredibly satisfying. An abandoned cabin — or one belonging to a serial killer — isn’t an uncommon escape room theme, but The Cipher Room has delivered the best example I’ve experienced to date.

Enjoyed this room, not quite as scary as I’d hoped but good fun.

8/10. Immersive, spooky, some challenging and interesting parts. Very well done.

9/10

We decided to do one of the Cipher Rooms after a recommendation from the owner of another Escape Room who said they have one of the best rooms in the whole Sydney. And he was 100% right. We did it in a group of three and it was great fun. Great combination of traditional and modern solutions, some of the tasks were really interesting and we've never seen them before. Definitely requires an attention to detail but you'll have so much fun doing it!

We completed our first room at Cipher and Liam was a very gracious GM—- you can always tell when the person running your game is a certified escape room fan! The atmosphere was sensational- eerie but not gory. No jump scares. It really engaged the full range of senses and had a great narrative with no plot holes. Very clever! We’ll be back to complete all rooms on offer based on our experience.
