Mrs Claws

I want to make this clear first, I did this room when it first opened, so it might not correlate with what the room is now, as I’ve heard it had changed drastically, so take this review with a grain of salt. Mrs Claws was a good room, with solid puzzles and ideas, but there were a few minor details it needed to brush up on. The theming was done well, with good props and cool design, and the owners did well with the little space that they had. The atmosphere of the room was solid, maintaining a creepy but not too scary feel throughout the game. The puzzles were decent, with some that were not quite clear due to the lighting (I hear they have fixed this). There were also some cool optional tasks that could improve the experience as well as some well timed jump scares. Overall, this was a solid room, which could have touched on some minor details, and I am disappointed it closed down as I wanted to play it again to see how much it had changed.

It was the best escape room we’ve ever done, without having any spoilers (Betty made the room, too good) would go back a second time just to have it unfold all over again. Great job can’t wait to see their next escape rooms.

Mrs Claws was one of the best-run and most entertaining games I've ever experienced! It perfectly balanced moments of fright with unexpected bursts of humor, keeping us on the edge of our seats. Tanner, our host, was phenomenal — he really went above and beyond, fully immersing himself in the game and making the experience even more engaging. His energy and enthusiasm added so much to the overall fun. Highly recommend this game for anyone looking for a thrilling and memorable adventure!

MERRY F****** CHRISTMAS DARLINGS! What a room, what a nightmare, what a SHOW! Mrs Claws is head and shoulders one of the funniest and most entertaining escape rooms I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. Its theming, design, puzzles and atmosphere make sure there is NEVER a dull moment in the North Pole. While marketed as more of a classic horror experience, the room itself is anything but as in-game actors Mrs Claws and Betty proceed to not only scare the crap out of you but make sure you’re crying of laughter in the very next breath, it’s terrifying and it’s electric. What owners Will and Tanner have done with the space is so impressive with so many puzzles to uncover and R rated easter eggs to find, it’s kind of impossible not to have a good time. The only drawback of Mrs Claws is that it’s closing down very soon to make way for new experiences later in the year, my only advice is to go and play it so you don’t miss out. Fantastic room. Love from a proud member of the wax nipple club ❤️

This room had such a great vibe. It was an intense mix of horror, fun and filth. This room was an experience from start to finish. You could never predict what would happen next. It sits somewhere between escape room and haunted house. So crazy. So fun. So adrenaline pumping. Do this room if you are in Sydney!!!

HOE HOE HOLY SH*T What a truly phenomenal experience. Mrs Claws is an entertaining hour of erotica, humour, puzzles and scares definitely not for the faint-hearted/prudish. Part drag show, part horror comedy we had an absolute blast trying (allegedly) to save Santa's life. I feel like we did so much beyond your standard puzzling; we traversed a maze, played plinko, met a vampire and even performed a séance. Sadly this room was in it's final days when we played as is the ephemeral design of Strange World Escapes. It will however live on as one of the funniest, raunchiest escape rooms I've played. Big thank you to co-owners/stars/extraordinaires Tan and Will for putting together a one of a kind experience and also taking the time to chat us through the room afterwards. We're sad to see the room go but very excited to see what is to come in the future.

Great room! Very immersive and done well for an escape room without a lot of mechanics!

Mrs Claws was a brilliant mix of Christmas cheer with a dark and creepy twist. We did the scary version and it totally delivered - think eerie festive vibes, killer holiday themed puzzles and set with jump scares that had me (a complete scaredy cat) shrieking and laughing at the same time. The live actor was phenomenal at making the game creepy but also at creating hilarious moments that broke the tension, making this a really unique experience. Dark, funny and super fun !

Good, chaotic fun! Mrs Claws is packed with fun puzzles and creepy elements, but it’s the personal touches and humourous character interactions that truly steal the show.

The naughty cheek and charm of ‘Mrs Claws’ was a delight to experience. We experienced ‘Mrs Claws’ in its “Disney” (horror-free) mode and, while some minor scares still crept their way through the game, we tackled the experience without issue and thoroughly enjoyed the wild, quirky ride. The puzzle flow was smooth and clearly signposted. The narrative shifts and expands throughout ‘Mrs Claws’, and a pivotal decision is made at a certain point in the experience. A full understanding of the narrative certainly makes that choice easier. We were briefly stuck on what to choose, but we got there in the end. Some escape rooms feel like they could be experienced anywhere, or designed by any creator. ‘Mrs Claws’ is the exact opposite—the creativity of its designer forms the indelible core of the experience. It’s hard to imagine it could exist anywhere else, or another designer harnessing the wonderfully chaotic spirit of ‘Mrs Claws’. To see the experience in full flight, it is suggested that teams choose the full horror experience, but that’s not to say that the lighter, mostly scare-free mode isn’t fun—it’s still very funny with a mature sense of humour.
