BurlesqueEscapeXperienceEscape roomIRLThis was a great escape room. The puzzles were logical, but difficult. It was clear which puzzle related to which lock so all time was spent solving puzzles rather than searching for locks. Very creative!
The Nine-NineRush Escape Game HawthornEscape roomIRLGood for fans of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Relatively straight forward, good flow between puzzles. Small amount of repetitiveness in puzzle solutions. We got a little stuck on 2 puzzles but find the rest fairly easy.
Tesla's MysteryFox in a Box BrisbaneEscape roomIRLThey did well setting the scene from the beginning. The puzzles were complicated at times but they gave good hints that didn't give things away but got the game moving. Puzzles were logical, flowed well, and were on theme.
The HeistEscape Room AlburyEscape roomIRLThere were a lot of bonus puzzles you can complete just for extra fun but you didn't know which puzzles were the bonus extras and which ones were required to escape the room. This made it difficult to prioritise your efforts. The props and materials were quite worn down and some obvious damage to the rooms. Some quick and some time consuming puzzles. Laborious at times.
ShutdownStrike Melbourne CentralEscape roomIRLThis was surprisingly complicated. Lots of puzzles for the time frame. Was easy to get stuck for long periods of time. The room gives clues, but these were few and far between at times and sometimes didn't help. Overall was a decent room but not a favourite.
The Wayward WizardTrapt Bar & Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis was a solid escape room. It was well-decorated, with fun props. The puzzles were good, but were not always coherent with what was next. There was some guesswork about what numbers or words went to which lock.
Da VinciStrike HighpointEscape roomIRLWe flew through this room. Very logical and didn't need any hints. Everything made sense.
Medieval QuestBreakout Bar and Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLSimple yet frustrating. The puzzles took a hot minute to figure out and often time consuming to complete. Well themed and decorated.
The Old HauntStrike Surfers ParadiseEscape roomIRLLoved that the room gave hints as necessary rather than having a game master. Felt the room gave plenty of time to figure out puzzles and kept the flow of the game going. I'm a bit of a scaredy cat and found this game quite creepy. Loved the game but personally wouldn't do it again due to the creepiness.
InjusticeStrike HighpointEscape roomIRLA little challenging. We needed a few hints. Understood how to do a number of the tasks but it was either too dark to see parts or unclear where it led to.
