Mark as done to rate

Some doors should never be opened… You find yourself enjoying a peaceful picnic in the woods, only to be caught off guard by a raging thunderstorm. Seeking refuge, you remember a peculiar old cabin you had passed earlier, seemingly abandoned and untouched for many years. Desperate for shelter, you sprint towards its weathered front porch with creaky floorboards and broken windows. Upon reaching the entrance, a chilling realisation dawns upon you – this place may not be completely abandoned after all!

This room was likely my favourite room to date and I said that about one of their other rooms! This room felt like it had so much purpose, and went on forever. It was basically a full house! It didn’t disappoint. From jump scares, to puzzles, to music and a creepy coffin, this place didn’t disappoint. Such a beautiful experience.

Gameplay

This room was UNREAL! It was such a unique experience, coupled by the sheer size of the plaza. It took things to an entire new level. It flowed so well, and everything seemed to have purpose. It was great.

Atmosphere

Incredible! By far one of the best prop sets and atmospheres we’ve done yet. Everything was great and it’s very obvious that a lot of time has been spent on making this room what it is today. 10/10.

Customer service

The GM was so good. Although you can’t communicate much inside the room, before and after they were all amazing.

Particularly interesting or different

This game took the creepy cabin to a different level. Different to the other ones we’ve done before. Very interesting. Great story.

Scary

Spooky

It was spooky. I wouldn’t say scary, but certainly creepy and spooky. A few jump scares though. So, a mix between not scary and crapyapants.

Unreal room(s). We flew in from Canada and tried so many different escape rooms in Australia and have been somewhat disappointed but this one blew our expectations. This is exactly what we look for in an escape room - multi rooms - feels like it never ends and flows so well. Abandoned cabin lives up to the hype. Hyper real theme that is a real house you walk through. If you’re worried about not getting hints - don’t be - the puzzles are so logical even we were able to solve this with time to spare (and trust me we suck at escape rooms). There was only two of us and we crushed it! Book this room it’s so so worth it and shoutout to TK for being a wonderful host!

Honestly an extremely solid room with a ton of interesting puzzles throughout the experience. One of my friends was completely spooked out during the experience and refused to enter the house so the immersion was great! I personally didn't find it scary at all but the gamemasters will try to scare you from time to time as well! The puzzles flowed really well and were enjoyable to solve and there wasnt any moment where we were confused on what to do next. There was also a really cool puzzle towards the end! Definitely a good room to do at this venue!

Loved this room!! It was a very thoughtfully designed room with a great blend of challenging and varied puzzles that flowed in a logical manner. I will 100% be coming back to play some more of their rooms. Shoutout to our amazing GM Anna who was so so lovely to chat with at the end, and is clearly someone with a genuine passion for the industry.

Excellent theming with a good difficulty for the puzzles. Immersion would have been better with a blindfold start, but once inside it has a creepy atmosphere that suits the style. This is one of those rooms where clues are forced upon you without being asked, which does keep you on track to finish the room in time but reduces the level of challenge. Staff were excellent and very supportive.

Great room! Very creepy and spooky vibes with only 1 major jumpscare. Great atmosphere and room design (as AdventureRooms often does). Would definitely recommend for intermediate to advanced players.

We completed the room as a team of 3 and didn't feel limited at all by the size of our group.

The theming in this escape room was excellent and the puzzles were interesting and intuitive. Although the story and purpose started to fade away towards the end.

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.

This whole room is very well put together as are the other rooms in this Adventure rooms Venue. My Partner and I are not big horror buffs and get spooked easily. This room whilst definitely having a spooky vibe was still extremely enjoyable for the two of us. High Production value and Great Attention to Detail across the whole story with a very well flowing narrative As all their other rooms, could not recommend this one enough. Team were lovely to chat too, great to bond over other escape rooms as they're also big enthusiasts.
