    La Rébellion

    La Rébellion

    The Cipher Room St Peters

    • Escape room
    • IRL
    Another incredible room by Cipher. Simply on a different level in terms of attention to detail and immersion compared to most of the other escape rooms we've done. Some escape rooms are just a bunch of random puzzles tossed into a room or two. All of La Rebellion's puzzles make sense and flow seamlessly from start to finish while remaining true to the theme. Most of the puzzles are not overly difficult, but there are loads of puzzles to do, and they're highly varied and fun. A cracker of an ending too. Loved every minute of it!

    Another absolutely incredible experience at The Cipher Room. The theming and atmosphere were expertly crafted, with exquisite props and clever/unique puzzles. There's actually quite a lot of tech but it's all so well-hidden that it doesn't affect the immersion. No live actors but multiple jump scares to keep you on your toes. There were so many instances where we were left in awe of the design and revelations. And the ending was once again a jaw-dropper. All the rooms we've done at here have been mindblowingly fun for the whole family. If there's one escape room establishment to recommend in Sydney (or perhaps all of Australia) it would invariably be Cipher.

    What a truly unique and fun experience. We had some reservations about the whole game taking place in a single room where you remain seated the whole time, but the designers ingeniously kept the game engaging, atmospheric and immersive with a cool storyline, varied puzzles that fit flow and fit the theme, and some well-timed scares that my kids (11 and 12) had no problems with. Definitely a worthwhile experience for newbies and enthusiasts alike. Can’t wait for their new room!

    The Cipher Room Newtown

    • Escape room
    • IRL
    One of the, if not the best, escape rooms we've been to. The atmosphere and props were incredible, providing an incredibly rich and immersive experience. The puzzles were fantastic, super creative, varied, and unique. We can't wait to go back and try all the other rooms.
    The Cabin

    The Cabin

    The Cipher Room Newtown

    • Escape room
    • IRL
    I was a bit nervous about The Cabin as it's Cipher's second oldest room and we had already done their three newest ones (Marlowe, La Rebellion & Mr. Pepper's), and there was a concern that it wouldn't live up to the others by comparison. Boy, was I wrong! The Cabin turned out to be another sublime escape room experience, definitely right up there as one of my all-time favourites. The theming was incredible -- super creepy atmosphere (but no real jump scares), and the puzzles were some of the most creative and fun I've done to date. Everything flowed so well and in line with the theme, and the ending -- as with all of Cipher's rooms -- was truly impressive. It was definitely challenging but not impossible -- we accepted one clue to point us in the right direction, though we probably shouldn't have as we would've gotten it eventually and we escaped with 10 minute to spare. I really can't say enough about all of Cipher's escape rooms. It makes me sad that I can only do each room once.
    Mafia: The Golden Ring

    Adventure Rooms - Melbourne (Bourke St)

    • Escape room

    We weren’t sure what to expect with Mafia, our first game at Adventure Rooms — rated very highly on Morty but seldom mentioned by enthusiasts as one of the top rooms in Melbourne. Well, it turns out that Morty is always right! Mafia smashed our modest expectations to immediately become one of my personal favourites. Very challenging with tons of puzzles but also intensely fun and enjoyable. I absolutely treasure this experience and recommend it wholeheartedly.

    Next Level Escape

    • Escape room

    A very different experience to your typical escape room! We were split into two evenly matched teams of 4, which was perfect given half were experienced and half were first-timers. The competition aspect made it really intense and nerve-racking, but also really exciting and fun! The puzzles are clever, varied and suited the game show theme, providing a good level of difficulty but nothing too hard or frustrating. As usual, the Next Level GMs are excellent and enhanced the experience. While not my favourite type of escape room, it was among the most enjoyable I’ve done thus far. Highly recommended for larger groups!
    Espionage

    Espionage

    The Cipher Room Newtown

    • Escape room

    We felt a tinge of melancholy as we exited Espionage, the first room made by The Cipher Room but our 5th and last one — because there are no more to do (until the release of their next room in 2025). Despite being 8 years old (albeit updated multiple times), Espionage holds up well and is still a fantastic room in its own unique way. As usual, the theming and atmosphere are unmatched, and the puzzles clever and fun. I only wish we could have taken longer to finish so we could spend more time in the room to savour the exquisite design and craftsmanship.
    The Abandoned Cabin

    The Abandoned Cabin

    Adventure Rooms - Melbourne (Bourke St)

    Another fantastic Adventure Rooms experience. Impressive props and scares, without being too frightening for the kids. Some interesting puzzle ideas we had not seen before that fit with the theme and flow. Not as difficult as Mafia but perfect for players who enjoy a creepy atmosphere.
