If you’re hunting for an escape room that goes above and beyond, Extraction at The Curium Experience is the one. I went in with my girlfriend, dad, and two cousins, and we were completely blown away. From the moment we stepped inside, it was clear this wasn’t your run-of-the-mill puzzle game. The immersive atmosphere pulled us in straight away; every detail, from the meticulously crafted puzzles to the atmospheric sounds, kept us engaged the entire time. The design of the room felt polished and purposeful, and the challenges were clever, flowing perfectly without being either too easy or frustratingly obscure. It’s hands down the best escape room I’ve ever experienced; and my group unanimously agreed. If you love escape rooms, this one sets the standard. We left buzzing about it for hours afterward. Highly recommended to anyone looking to take their escape room adventures to the next level.
Novel, fun, and engaging from start to finish. The flow was seamless, and the puzzles felt rewarding and intuitive.
Absolutely immersive! The set design, props, and sound effects created a cinematic escape room experience like no other.
Staff were welcoming and professional. The GM set the tone perfectly, making sure we felt ready to tackle the challenge.

We visited on a public holiday, so parking was stress-free. On regular days, though, Collingwood’s parking can be tricky. Plan ahead!

I will just echo what others have said, this is probably the most advanced escape room in Melbourne, and highly recommend it.

We liked this room! The set design was amazing, very immersive and really did feel like we were exploring the lab. This space is huge and there’s a lot to get through. The first room was our favourite, it had a fantastic mix of puzzles and interactions but unfortunately everything after that was purely interaction based. We were the last group of the night so we weren’t pushed along, although experiences may differ if you have other groups behind you. Overall a cool and fun experience and a great use of the warehouse space.

Very high tech and immersive setup. Probably one of the best escape room experience in Melbourne, may top the list nationwide but it did not “wow” us like most players claimed.

Easily our favourite escape we’ve ever done. Multiple incredibly interactive and thematic rooms that flowed into each other perfectly - plenty of lateral thinking that felt rewarding to solve whilst never feeling unfair, and a technological edge we have yet to see another escape room come close to. This room is a testament to its creators’ ingenuity and skill, and their dedication to pushing the boundaries of escape rooms. Extraction should be on the must-do list of every escape room fan in Australia (and beyond!). We’ll be back just as soon as their next room is announced!
No words to describe the gameplay. Like nothing else we’ve ever played. Flowed extraordinarily well whilst incorporating both lateral and sequential thinking.
Absolutely insane. There is so much world-building that you forget where you are. Immersive doesn’t begin to capture what this escape feels like.
The gamemasters/owners were just incredible. Obviously very passionate about what they do and extremely talented to create a room like this, which is light years ahead of any that we’ve done. Super welcoming and funny too!
Yes
See above! This is so different to anything else available in Australia. Interesting doesn’t begin to cover it. Just an extraordinary experience overall.
Amazing!!! Memorable plot with amazing integration of each puzzle to the overall story.
Without spoiling anything, the game adjusts to your expertise as a player!

Rooms suuuper good! Made my Cubescape so they’re very interactive but it’s so immersive with lots of rooms going on! Can’t work your way backwards enough but still a very good experience!
Gameplay was great! Very automatic and the effects were well done! There’s also the obvious slide!
Set design was very well done ! Very immersive and you did have to scale a staircase or two so it felt like you were travelling around a whole building
Staff were great! Added to the atmosphere of the company as well as the rooms themselves
Quite ! Needed to walk up a staircase, and crawl once or twice !
“A stellar entry point for escape room enthusiasts, blending fun with intrigue.“
