Buried Alive

Being separated from my boyfriend for the entirety of the puzzle really revealed how much I relied on another person to figure out puzzles. It's one thing to have to figure out a puzzle on your own, but having to explain the pieces to someone else in a way that they understand the puzzle AND be able to decipher the clues from how you explained it added to the difficulty. The puzzles themselves may not have been extra difficulty, but that being separated was a fun fun challenge from the room. Having our communication skills tested definitely added to the difficulty of the puzzles. I would consider this room a harder room than most. The atmosphere of the room was definitely pretty spooky and thrilling, mostly from the intensity of the music and sound, leading to some pretty tense feelings from me. The room was campy scary, but never actually frightening.

Just completed the "Buried Alive" escape room at Escape this in Sydney CBD and WOW - this was hands down one of the most extreme and terrifying experiences I've ever had! If you're looking for something that will genuinely scare you and push your limits, this is it. The moment you're locked in that coffin, the claustrophobia hits HARD. It's pitch black, cramped, and your heart starts racing immediately. I'm not usually bothered by tight spaces, but this had me questioning everything! The darkness is so complete that you feel completely isolated and vulnerable. What makes this experience truly unique is the collaboration element - you're working with someone else who's also trapped in their own coffin. This game mechanic is brilliant and unlike anything I've encountered in other escape rooms. You have to communicate and work together while being completely separated, which adds this incredible layer of tension and urgency. The storytelling is absolutely top-notch. The sinister narrative that unfolds throughout the experience is genuinely chilling and kept me on edge the entire time. Every detail has been carefully crafted to immerse you in this nightmare scenario, and the writing creates an atmosphere that's both psychologically intense and completely engaging. This isn't your typical escape room - it's a full psychological thriller experience. If you have any issues with claustrophobia, I'd seriously think twice. But if you want to be genuinely scared and challenged in ways you've never experienced before, this is an absolute must-do. Highly recommended for thrill-seekers and horror fans. You'll be talking about this experience for weeks! Pro tip: Go with someone you trust and communicate well with - you'll need each other to get through this one!

This is by far the best experience that this venue has to offer. The theme of the being locked in a coffin is exhilarating. The coffin itself isn't actual too cramped, I was able to sit up in side of it. Teamwork is absolutely mandatory as if you miss even one thing in the dark, it is very difficult to progress. But definitely a very fun and tense room!
