    The Abandoned Carnival

    The biggest room on the premise and it shows! Plenty of space for everyone to work on puzzles without getting in each other's way. Some clever puzzles though the ball shooter was a bit frustrating to use. Although this room is marketed as spooky, to be honest it didn't register as scary-themed at all, even to my sensitive self. A fun experience overall!

    Absolutely fantastic room! Eclipse puts so much effort into their immersion and are dedicated to mechanical puzzles - not a traditional lock in sight. A compelling experience and great for a larger group, as many people can be occupied simultaneously. Loved it!

    Spooky without being terrifying, which I appreciate in an escape room! An immersive experience with very clever mechanical puzzles, loved it!

    Spectacular room, loved the vibe and the decor! Eclipse does an amazing job of making every room a completely unique experience. The people here are absolutely lovely and supportive of our super enthusiastic selves!

    I'm generally not a horror person and am very sensitive to scary experiences, but underwent this one for a Spooky Vibes friend's birthday. I managed to survive because the staff were very understanding and fully respected my request not to be the victim of any jump scares or love actors. I was glad I spoke up and I'm really grateful they listened and looked after me.

    Wonderful room! Eclipse is fantastic at their immersion and this room is no different - I especially loved the transition from the first room to beyond. I also really appreciate their dedication to mechanical puzzles over traditional locks, and their storylines. Thank you Eclipse!

    Some interesting mechanical puzzles and a great set, though there was a lot of opportunity to take the theme further.

    All of Eclipse's rooms have been amazing, and of all of them this is my favourite! Beautiful and immersive theming, with a fantastic witchy vibe. We were able to chat to the creator/owner after and learned all about how she commissions custom props from a local craftsman - and it shows! There is so much thought, love and dedication put into the development of this room and the result is a fantastic and memorable experience.

    A fun room and great for some Jumanji nostalgia. A bit frustrating because traffic down from Brisbane was horrendous and we arrived ten minutes late to find out they'd forced our earlier friend to start on the dot, meaning she spent the first ten minutes trying to do the room solo. We'd have rathered losing time off the end (since we knew we wouldn't need it), and asked for that option but were told our friend had to start or we'd lose our booking. Although I understand the importance of running on schedule, we felt we offered a fair option and would have appreciated some flexibility.

    Staff here are absolutely fantastic and jumped right on board with an odd request when I needed to feed a bunch of friends through here as a part of a larger adventure. They went above and beyond to take care of us, matched our enthusiasm and were so understanding of the chaos of the day (and our elaborate costumes). The room itself was incredibly immersive with fantastic mechanical puzzles. I'm forever grateful for them!
