Mafia: The Golden RingAdventure Rooms - Melbourne (Bourke St)Escape roomIRLThis room will always have a special place in my heart as my partner and I got engaged at the end! But even before that, this room and its immersion and gameplay is incredible. Our game master was great at setting the scene and we got through with time to spare. Can’t recommend this location of adventure rooms enough
Speakeasy: Secrets Of The Green FairyAdventure Rooms - Melbourne (Bourke St)Escape roomIRLAnother great room at this amazing location. The set design and immersion starts outside the room and flows so well throughout. It was a challenge and a race to the end for the two of us but we got through and had an amazing time!
The Abandoned CarnivalPadlock'd Escape roomIRLThis was the final room of a 6 room marathon my partner and I completed, and it was still a blast! There is a standout mechanic that I have truly never seen in a room before and it was so much fun. We were given special permission to complete the room as a team of two, and having our phones with us was crucial. The space is massive and there is a puzzle that requires communication over a large amount of the room. The puzzles were all approachable and linear, not a huge amount of challenge for an experienced team, but also a great room to try if you are new to escapes. Riley was an energetic and friendly GM at the end of the night. We can’t wait to come back and finish the padlocked rooms!
BuriedPadlock'd Escape roomIRLA two person room with a decent amount of challenge. The key to this room is clear and concise communication. I really enjoyed completing this room with my partner and seeing how the puzzles and clues worked between the coffins. We did have one significant malfunction that ate up a lot of our game time, but our GM, Zee was great and listening to our concerns after the game concluded. The puzzles were fun, not a huge amount of challenge for the majority. The biggest challenge was the shortened time frame and zero communication with the GM throughout. Had we been able to communicate with Zee, we would have been able to confirm our concerns about our malfunction puzzle. All in all, a really great date night or friend game that I would highly recommend!
Game Of The DragonRush Escape Game - South YarraEscape roomIRLWe had a great time with this room! As a two person team, we were definitely under the pump for completion but we got through. Our GM, Cal, was amazing at world building before we got into the room and was great to talk with afterwards. Definitely beginner friendly, but will also challenge experienced players. Cannot recommend enough
Hacksaw IIRush Escape Game - South YarraEscape roomIRLMy partner and I aren’t massive horror fans, but we really enjoyed this room. The theming and immersion was immediate and continuous throughout the room. Some of the flow was a bit disjointed, but I think that could be different with a larger play group, as there were only two of us. More gore based than straight horror, but the production value was very high
