A power surge has rolled through Area 1's Research Facility, putting us into lockdown. To make matters worse, our lead researcher, Dr. Verdant, has vanished. What we need is group of expendable contractors to come in and sort out our mess. Area 1 takes no responsibility for any extra-dimensional disturbances that may occur.

Immersive from the get go. Due to the location being an old paint factory as well as the employees dedication to character the overall experience was enhanced. Having a worker come out a retrieve you set a positive impression from the get go. The introduction was given in a unique way that helped to engage while also retaining information and staying in universe. In terms of the room, the atmosphere of the room was amplified by the sound effects and lighting. The puzzles were unique and interesting and required many different manners of thinking and acting out motions. Overall an amazing space and an amazing business.

The experience was fantastic from start to finish! The set and prop design were top-notch, with a lot of creative, unique puzzles and an atmosphere that kept us fully immersed. We really appreciated the staff's dedication; they were “on” from the moment we stepped into the car park and stayed in character all the way until we left, which added so much to the experience.
The gameplay was straightforward but kept us engaged with a mix of interesting and varied puzzles that allowed everyone to contribute and stay immersed.
The atmosphere was incredible; the design, props, and every detail worked together to make it feel like we were truly part of another world.
The staff were excellent! Their passion was clear, and they were clearly dedicated to their roles. Their energy and commitment to the theme made a huge difference in our enjoyment.

Super easy. There were literally hundreds of parking spaces available, which was so convenient!

Project Immersive is not your average escape room, it very much lives up to its name. They have the perfect venue that lends itself to the world presented. The story starts from the moment you arrive and they have a very clever use of language to impart regular escape room information without breaking immersion in the world. Damian helped facilitate our visit, was very generous and lovely to chat to. For The Portal, our game master Tim was superb, effortlessly maintaining character and was on the ball to ensure our game ran smoothly. He was our first point of contact when we arrived and convinced us of the world we were entering expertly with a wonderful dosing of humour. The most suitable words to describe The Portal are beyond cool and next level. It has a great use of space, fun tech and very neat puzzles that make you feel like a scientist. There is a heavy focus on story facilitated by great voice acting and stellar sound design. The set and props were excellent. I wouldn't call this room scary but it promotes an uneasy sense of what's coming with great theatricality. We loved, loved LOVED this room. I just wish they had more experiences for us to try! This is the best example of a truly immersive escape room experience.

This was the first room i experienced at Project Immersive and it definitely sells the name of the venue! Had a great time and was a very new experience for our group of experienced players.
Flowed really well, gameplay wise and was incredibly immersive through the use of storyline/sounds/lighting.
Set, effects and props were spectacular!

There were quite a few highlight moments that involved different puzzles or pieces of tech as well as cool climactic story beats!
well intergrated and backed up by the puzzles and effects

There was 1 mis-reset item in the room, HOWEVER, this led to the coolest and most creative mid game reset experience we have ever encountered! The creativity of making it feel like a seamless part of the experience left us knowing that something had gone wrong but wildly impressed with how it was handled and feeling like it could have been a genuine part of the experience.

The Portal is great with a very cool set. Immersive experience starts from the moment you arrive at the venue until the end! Puzzles are logical and flows well with some high-tech elements. Some unique story elements which speaks to the creativity of the room! Our GMs add a lot to the immersiveness of the experience! It is only unique to Area 1!

This was a good escape room. Didn’t expect the experience to start in the carpark! I was very impressed with the storyline however I felt the puzzles to be underwhelming. This was still a good room overall. Would recommend others to experience this place.

This experience was amazing. I really enjoy immersive experiences, and this has to be my favourite so far. The story, the puzzles, the aesthetics were so well made, and I still shiver just remembering the experience. I really wish I could erase my memory to play it from the beginning again.
Flows amazingly well.
Perfect.
Amazing GM.

I am a huge fan of escape rooms and would say I have pretty high standards - but Project Immersive just completely blew me away. It was incredible and really lived up to the name of being immersive. The game begins the minute you arrive where you are greeted by the game master in character, and the entire building and interior really adds to the atmosphere. The puzzles themselves were absolutely fantastic and you can tell they put so much effort into making the room realistic. Our team had the best time, and we especially appreciated the time our game host spent after the room explaining how certain puzzles work, the history of the building and how Project Immersive came to be! We are so excited to come back and play Nuclear Enrichment!! Thank you so much again for an unforgettable experience :)
