Mafia: The Golden RingAdventure Rooms - Melbourne (Bourke St)Escape roomIRLMy eleven year old and I completed this room. The room would definitely suit a minimum of two experienced players or more than two players. Definitely one of the more challenging rooms we have done. Great puzzles. The Game Master was awesome and gave us a few more minutes so that we could finish the room. We did utilise the clues they gave along the way.
The Unplayed MelodyMission Escape Pitt StEscape roomIRLThe theming and theatrics of the room really made the experience. I love the commencement of the room - it involves you from the get go. I played with an 11 & 12 year old and whilst some moments feel dark and spooky, it’s nothing that cant be handled.
Dark DungeonLost LocksEscape roomIRLGreat concept being in the dark and the end bit. We totally missed some of the elements that would be a jump scare as e had our eyes closed the whole time.
HacksawRush Escape Game - HawthornEscape roomIRLRoom was fine. I played with a 10 and 12 year old and didn’t find the room scary at all (despite the GM not feeling comfortable in having the kids handcuffed). In saying so, we have done prison escape rooms that we start off handcuffed but I appreciate the caution. If I’m being super critical, it would be great to have another room to go to. The way out of the room is cool but would be great if it was part of the game.
Hacksaw IIRush Escape Game - South YarraEscape roomIRLPlayers are separated to begin with. Enjoyed this room as it has a spooky element (think the movie Saw). Room requires for players to work together. Puzzles were medium-hard. Lots of fun
The Gaol BreakAdventure Rooms - Melbourne (Little Collins St)Escape roomIRLGame was enjoyable. It’s a classical gaol break style game. Nothing particularly too challenging. Great game to play with kids
Its NightmareRush Escape Game - South YarraEscape roomIRLRoom theming was good. There was only one puzzle which was a “key-to-a-key” which they could probably skip or redo. Overall the puzzles and theming were good
The Nine-NineRush Escape Game - HawthornEscape roomIRLLoved the theming of the room (we are fans of the show). We figured a few things out earlier before finding all the pieces so we probably threw our own game off. Fun room with some perfectly themed puzzles.
Twisted TrialsLost LocksEscape roomIRLThe room was well designed and themed. We used a slightly physical tactic to solve a puzzle that worked for us
The NunLost in Melbourne - Exhibition StreetEscape roomIRLThis room had a great scary eerie theme to it. Although we were aware of no live actors, the anticipation of jump scares kept us on our toes. This room was completed by myself and my eleven year and we both enjoyed the room. I am on the shorter side and there were three things in particular that we needed to find something to stand on to reach or see through. I did find some of the puzzles (when you had to read hidden things) difficult to read (probably just needs to be retouched up). The theming and props were great
