    Area 1: Nuclear Enrichment

    Area 1: Nuclear Enrichment

    Project Immersive Escape Rooms

    • Escape room

    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 Nuclear Enrichment our game master August seamlessly took over from Tim (our gm for The Portal) after we solved our first "problem" at Area 1, they brought their own flair to the role and delightfully served us something a little more sinister. They facilitated the story with much aplomb and we loved that both scientist characters had a very distinct feeling from eachother. Nuclear Enrichment is still extremely story focused but felt a bit more like puzzle solving (which I loved) rather than the "doing science" feeling the puzzles in The Portal invoked. There was a stunning set and extremely authentic props and clutter but it was somehow still very intuitive to know what we actually needed to solve the puzzles and what was just theming, without breaking our immersion in the world. There was a stupendous use of tech, incredible sound design and a very beautiful finale. 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.

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.

    Blackwood Manor is a great traditional room with a lovely old school feel and fun puzzles. The spooky vibes and set pieces are great. I like that there's options for playstyles and vibes.

    Buried (only designed for 2 players) is a great use of a small space with a very unique concept. Make sure to bring your best communication and puzzle solving skills as this one could prove to be quite tricky. The staff at Padlock'd were friendly and accommodating and our game master Matt took good care of us.

    Cabin 13 is delightfully spooky with theatrical moments and scares courtesy of our dear friend "Chris". The scare actor in this game is essential to the experience. They are extremely interactive, involved in the gameplay and set the vibe for your experience with great flair. I would encourage your team to fully buy in to what the actor is selling to maximise your experience (though this isn't too hard due to their skill). There is a big focus on story and the puzzles are fun. The staff at Escape Manor were also friendly and welcoming.

    Cottage Capers was such a delightful room, I loved this one so much. A very traditional type of escape room with great theming, setting and story. It's very suitable for newbies or those unsure about escape rooms. A particularly great theming touch was utilised that immediately drew you in and fleshed out the game world, delicious! When we arrived at Lost Locks we were greeted very warmly by Ryan who was lovely to chat to. Our game master (whose name I cannot remember) was great. This business has really wonderful top tier games and we can't wait to come back and try some more. The atmosphere is fun, the vibes are excellent and we're very excited to see what games they release in the future.

    Dark Dungeon has straightforward tactile puzzles and tasks, with fun moments and some potential for big scares. A unique concept and best played by a group of enthusiastic scaredy cats. When we arrived at Lost Locks we were greeted very warmly by Ryan who was lovely to chat to. We felt very generously taken care of by our game master Sam, her intros really drew you in and set the scene and her enthusiastic debriefs were much appreciated. This business has really wonderful top tier games and we can't wait to come back and try some more. The atmosphere is fun, the vibes are excellent and we're very excited to see what games they release in the future.

    Next Level Escape

    End of the Road is my favourite Next Level game to date. The way the game masters have been integrated into the game is really well done and creates a convincing in-universe line of communication. The use of the space and the theming is fantastic. This, coupled with the utilisation of the game master, creates a fully immersive world that was easy to suspend my disbelief in. The puzzles were fun, on theme and intuitive. After 70 games it's rare to see unique puzzles but End of the Road has several wholly unique puzzles and many many more that put their own interesting twist on puzzles I have previously seen. Your game master will make or break your experience here and Nikki was fantastic and really fun to volley with in-game. She customised our briefing to suit our experience level which was very appreciated and the tone was set expertly. This is my new must-do Sydney recommendation for newbies and enthusiasts alike.

    The Flying Dutchman is gorgeous, I absolutely loved this room. It is visually beautiful and has simple and elegant well-executed puzzles that were always on theme. This is a must do for beginners and enthusiasts alike. We felt extremely welcomed and most generously taken care of by our game master Lex, they truly went above and beyond to accommodate us. Great care and love has clearly been put into this business. We will definitely be back to check out their other experiences. This place is truly a gem.

    Knights Templar had a cool concept and theme with nice reveals. It had some neat puzzles and good use of tech and execution on story.
