The Soul CatcherCubic Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThe background of this room is to investigate a mansion controlled by evil souls. The space is well built with an Asian aesthetic, featuring souls, live actors, and supernatural elements. This room goes by the ‘light shows the way’ rule, only areas with light are useful for puzzles. It’s rarely too dark to see, but sometimes you’ll need to revisit earlier rooms when the lights come back on. There’s quite a bit of reading involved, but important parts are highlighted if they relate to puzzles. My conclusion: this room exceeded my expectations (possibly one of the best I’ve ever done)! What impressed me most was the use of the lighting and sound systems, combined with live actors—it really felt like being part of a movie (or a theatre show). But that’s not all it offers. The room isn’t exactly scary, but it includes many supernatural elements that make the experience immersive. It’s not about jump scares, but more about subtle details that seem minor at first—until they hit you later and send a chill down your spine. I still remember when our team was split randomly, and a pre-set painting somehow accurately reflected what had just happened. That creepy moment stuck with me more than any scream. What also stood out is how this room constantly introduces new and creative elements. You’ll find unique surprises and ways to interact in each area—not just one or two highlights in the whole game, but one or two in every single room. This is a must-try room, and it's worth the money.
WizardryPaniq Room SydneyEscape roomIRLAs a Harry Potter fan, this room did not disappoint. Great setting with some impressive mechanics corresponding to the puzzles. Limited use of padlocks, which I really liked. The clues given through written notes were a good attempt to maintain immersion. I saw reviews mentioning puzzles that rely on screens and videos, which could be time-consuming—but for us, they felt more immersive than boring. Overall, a very good experience.
