Extract the artefact and don't get caught... easier said than done when the item is held in a secret lab in Area 51. Our technology can get you in, but after that, you're on your own. We hope you have what it takes... after all, the future of the planet is at stake! Extraction is an immersive, action-packed adventure set across multiple levels with loads of fun physical elements. Be the star of your own action movie!

Absolutely Devine and one of my new favs I’ve done. From the briefing to the room itself it was amazing. The tech and attention to detail was insane and can’t fault much. Our game masters were also incredible. I’m ready to do this room again.

We have never done a continuous flow-type of room (and had not heard great things about them), but the design of this was incredibly clever. You never felt like the puzzles you were solving were meaningless, held in a space with nothing left to solve, or shuffled to the next space half way through a complex puzzle. We went as two groups of 4, and really enjoyed comparing our points, the puzzles we did or did not complete, and even those that we never saw! Honestly, we'd love to go back, race through the puzzles we struggled with to see what else this room has to offer!

The design is so clever; novice teams will escape but solve few puzzles, while expert teams will also escape while solving many more puzzles.

We had high expectations going into Curium, and while the atmosphere certainly exceeded them, the puzzles did not. This is still a great experience, but we prefer a more logical approach to puzzles than what Curium tended to provide.

Our hosts were the lovely owners of the business. They were very warm and extremely welcoming. A duo very passionate about game design and the industry. We felt very well taken care of and appreciated the opportunity to chat with them after the game. They have created a very ambitious experience with Extraction which does not disappoint. The decision to have staggered entry times ensures that groups of all experience levels get to see the entirety of this game. It makes very clever use of the space and has a wonderful mix of high and low tech elements. This game makes for a very hands on physical experience with a strong story. It had a really fun opening to the game and an extremely unique ending. Very impressive set design, stellar lighting job and exceptional sound design. If you like sci-fi, immersive spaces and an action packed adventure then this is the game for you. If you're in Melbourne make sure to check it out. Very reasonably priced for the experience provided. We're really looking forward to the next game.

This is the best escape room we have done, and I cannot recommend it enough. Every part of the room and set-up is incredibly well thought out, and the level of polish is top notch.
There were novel elements throughout, and we had a blast the entire time.
The use of space was brilliant.
Yes
The game was unlike any other room we've done, incredibly engaging.
Great atmosphere and theming, every action you take is thematically justified.
Expert
You will complete the room, but may not get to solve every puzzle, so in that sense I would say it is expert.
High tech
Really hard to choose on this, there are a heap of mechanical elements, but I think the tech was the standout.

We did it with 2, but some elements would have been less chaotic with 3.

As rooms go this was the most physical we've had, but not very demanding at all.
Mobility will be a limiting factor in this room.

A little off the main road, but very clearly marked once you get there.

Amazingly well built, great quality, really dynamic and fun puzzles. Top tier. Only downside was the do kinda push you through the rooms as they start cycling people into the next run before the previous run finishes (you never heard the group behind as there are lots of rooms)

This was a premium experience, a splendid time was had by all of us.
This was an immersive experience, with great effort made to dress the sets so as to feel like the real thing. Puzzles were suitably caried and challenging, but the staff had plenty of gentle clues to prod us along if we appeared to be stuck. Kudos for their active observation.
Set design, lighting and props were top notch. It feels like it is built for purpose rather than redecorated industrial space.
Our GM was great- keeping an eye on us, and the clock, offering clues if we stalled, but not so obvious as to rob us of the satisfaction , if we were half way through the puzzle
The plot and puzzles flowed in a well integrated fashion.

This is the premier experience available in Melbourne today, and is a must see for everyone who enjoys these types of things. The attention to detail in the set design is incredible, to the point where there are SO many little easter egg type things included it's almost impossible to list. The puzzles are good and fair, and as such are very accessible for most players. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
Super fun and flows extremely well
The set design is spectacular, and really feels like you "could be there"
Our GM Lilly was awesome
Yes
This is a well-integrated story, which clearly has the possibility of multiple paths through it, as driven by the choices the players make

Despite some classic lock combo puzzles, this is a very highly tech driven experience

By far the best escape room I've done to date! From the moment you step into reception, it was like stepping into another place - from the decor to the wonderful, friendly staff who greeted us. Once the adventure started, there was a nice balance of urgency, puzzles and thematic effects. The design was thoughtful in both the narrative flow for the puzzles, rooms and holding space for customers to first be introduced to the mission and to decompress after the experience. I applaud the team's attention to detail and in creating such a fun, immersive experience.
It was immersive with some really clever puzzles that flowed well with the theme.
The props and setup were amazing. From the moment you step inside, it was like stepping into different place.
Our GM was very welcoming and warm. Really nice to chat with when we debriefed after the experience.
The plot was simple but memorable. Personally, I think it was well integrated cause the story set the premise for the escape and added to the urgency.
