La Rébellion

La Rébellion

The Cipher Room St Peters

  • Escape room
  • IRL
This was such a stunning, top notch experience. Cipher Room deliver memorable escape experiences, and ‘La Rébellion’ was no exception. Each puzzle and room flowed beautifully into the next, and as with their other St Peters room, ‘Mr Pepper’s Toy Shop’, this room offers a jaw-dropping finale.

This was my fiftieth room, and I am so glad I travelled interstate to experience ‘Mr Pepper’s Toy Shop’. The props, set design and storyline provided a rich foundation to the experience, allowing the puzzles to propel you along to the terrifying conclusion of the room. It was incredible — there’s a reason this room ranks so highly.

What a visually stunning escape experience. The monochromatic decor and the noir-style story delivery was so, so fun. Tricky, but not impossible, each puzzle was satisfying to finish. ‘The Marlowe Hotel’ is a great room!
The Keeper And The Fungus Among Us

Headlock Escape Rooms Online

Having the chance to play ‘The Keeper and the Fungus Among Us’ before it ends later this month was a real treat. The music, the seamless cutscenes that blended perfectly with the live moments, and the humor throughout made it a standout online escape game that truly deserves the accolades it has received over the past few years. While it’s sad to see the game go (for now), it’s reassuring to hear that Joel plans to preserve it in some form for posterity. What excites me most is how the game maximizes the remote nature of the experience and utilizes mechanics and charm that would be impossible in an in-person escape room. I hope more games like this will emerge to continue the artistry of online escape games.

What an absolute delight! Project Immersive are broadening the storytelling within their Area 1 world, and the run of accompanying puzzles is wonderful. Prepare for an exciting and unique ending that hints towards the future of immersive escape room experiences!
The Artefact

The Artefact

Next Level Escape

  • Escape room
  • IRL
The Artefact was so much fun! The GM experience at Next Level Escape really sets the bar for GM interactions and the way they utilise this communication to propel the group forward is a delight. Rosie, our GM, made the experience a delight. The story was exciting, thematic, funny and engaging — it was SO much fun. A top five experience for sure. It was an experience that didn’t take itself too seriously, which led to such memorable moments. I wish I could play it again!

Project Immersive

I cannot recommend this room enough. The immersion starts before you even enter the building, and the interactions within the escape experience were SO, so good. Wickedly so. One of my favourite escape experiences to date! Unique puzzles and props found throughout the rooms that deepen the narrative and puzzle flow. It even has an exciting ending to the experience. I’m looking forward to playing anything they open!
Rise of the Fungi

Headlock Escape Rooms Online

It’s an escape room, it’s a video game, it’s a musical — it’s a delight. ‘Rise of the Fungi’ builds upon the world of ‘The Keeper and the Fungus Among Us’ by offering a glimpse into Paxillus’s villain origin story. Loaded with funky music, delightful JRPG-esque aesthetics, mechanics, and puzzles, the game shines as a showcase of all the wonderful things an escape room specifically designed for an online platform can achieve. I feel incredibly fortunate to have played both fungi games. The awards are well deserved.
Bank Heist

Bank Heist

Social Escape Rooms

  • Escape room
  • IRL
What. A. Room. From the great flow of puzzles to the impressive vault door itself, the ‘Bank Heist’ was easily my favourite heist game. The bonus challenges were tricky, but very, very cool! We had the chance to see the breakdown of our experience graphed out against the average group entering into Bank Heist. It was a unique and fascinating opportunity to dig down into the data of the game. Mark, Social Escape Rooms’s creator, took the time to run through other puzzles and was so, so kind. It was great to talk escape rooms with such a passionate designer. I’m looking forward to returning to Social Escape next time I’m in Sydney to play more rooms!
Forest of Echoes

Forest of Echoes

Next Level Escape

  • Escape room
  • IRL
We were floored by the way Next Level Escape delivered a nonlinear room in ‘Forest of Echoes’. The game experience of choosing your own path with Next Level’s engaging GM interactions took this escape room to a great level. Pixel was a great GM and she took the time to discuss the room and its puzzles afterwards. It was awesome!
