Unlike your typical escape room, Seance, from start to finish, is played completely seated. Welcome to the Abercrombie Mansion. The new owner has requested your help! After discovering a cursed artefact in the mansion, they have requested you, as ghost hunters, to perform a seance and gain a spirtβs trust. This spirit not only haunts the mansion, but is also said to have the key to unlocking the strange artefact. Take a seat, be our guest but be wary on who you trust.

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. Canβt wait for their new room!

Excellent concept. I was genuinely I'm sure how this was going to work sitting around a table, but it meant that the puzzles were very unique. I wouldn't rate this room as particularly difficult, considering that two of us got out in 42 minutes. However for the pure novelty of the experience, one of the best rooms in Sydney.

By far our favourite room of all time. Seance is so unbelievable polished. You can tell there has been a lot of love and effort put into the creation of this room. Such a cool premise, the entire room is happens entirely around a table as you try to communicate with a spirit. A few jump scares, but you can see them coming and close your eyes if needed (like my wife did). I only wish we could forget the puzzles and do it again.

An incredibly unique and immersive game. Suitable for experienced players and those new; very logical and flowing puzzles with a few scares along the way!!

Seance is a must see if youβre in Sydney and if youβre looking for an escape room. The atmosphere, aesthetics and puzzle design are all meticulously crafted - and itβs evident so much passion has gone into this room. Josh and Daniel, the two owners - are friendly, warm and inviting - and even took extra time out of their day to walk us through their up and coming ideas for their next room. Highly recommend checking this one out!!

A unique room that really impressed. We are very glad we read some reviews on Morty that recommended this room and would encourage others to go and try out The Cool Space! The puzzles and storyline worked well with the team being seated throughout and allowed for some great lighting effects and role play as we progressed through the challenges at Abercrombieβs Mansion. The game engaged our senses and kept us entertained as a team of two for close to the full hour with a successful escape. Josh was a great host and happy to engage with us at the end to discuss and share our enthusiasm for escape rooms ππ»π€©

Seance is not a room to be underestimated. After reading numerous outstanding reviews across various platforms, our team felt compelled to visit this new establishment and discover what all the hype was about. It marked my 27th room experience to date and our team's 24th. As advertised, participants are seated for the entirety of the experience. However, this should not dissuade you, as our team of four found plenty to engage with from beginning to end. Before entering the room, we were greeted by Josh, one half of the owners of The Cool Space. Having had prior experience with Josh at another company, we were confident that we were in capable hands. The theming was impeccable, with every puzzle seamlessly integrated into the storyline. We encountered well-timed jump scares and even experienced a surprising visitβwithout divulging too much detail. The entire experience flowed smoothly, providing us with a tremendous amount of enjoyment. After completing the room in about 50 minutes without any hints, we had an insightful conversation with Josh, who recognized our team and willingly delved into the intricacies of how the room operated. We were then fortunate to meet Daniel, the other half of the ownership team at The Cool Space. Both Josh and Daniel were enthusiastic about giving us a behind-the-scenes tour, showcasing more than we could have anticipated. It's an exciting new venture, and we eagerly anticipate what The Cool Space has in store for the future.

Was easy for us on a sunday night, street parking on Abercrombie Street. Can see how potentially would be difficult in peak times.
