The Unplayed Melody

This room is an absolute marvel, offering a solid and engaging narrative that captivates from start to finish. The storyline is intricately woven, keeping you on the edge of your seat and eager to uncover every twist and turn. The puzzles are nothing short of excellent, providing a satisfying challenge that is both stimulating and immensely enjoyable. Each puzzle is thoughtfully designed, ensuring a seamless flow throughout the experience. The high-tech and mechanical elements are particularly impressive, adding a layer of excitement and innovation that elevates the room to new heights. Additionally, the room features a few thrilling jump scares that add an exhilarating touch, making the adventure even more memorable. Overall, this room is a must-visit for beginners or seasoned escapees!

Fun room, very theatrical, definitely geared to those looking for a story driven experience. Occasional moments of downtime whereby story was shown, which probably amounts to 5-10 mins of non-gameplay. Fun nonetheless, not particularly difficult for us. Little bit spooky at times. Minimal padlocks, definitely tech focused.

Highly recommend this room. It is so thoughtfully designed. The story is great, the rooms/clues are great, and there’s a huge variety in the types of puzzles you need to work out. This is one of our favourite ever rooms.

Really felt like a kid in a playground on this one ! A beautifully designed environment with a magical atmosphere. You really feel like you’re in a movie. The music and the sound design seem natural in this setting and together with the lighting and special effects creates a truly immersive experience. There is so much to look at and the puzzles are fun to participate in. The story is well thought out and matches well with the choice of puzzles. You really do go on a journey room by room deeper into the heart of this emotional story. High production values and scene changes make this special experience and the in-world on boarding helps to get you fully immersed from the beginning . You really get to embrace your inner child with this experience!

Having completed over 90 escape rooms across different cities, Unplayed Melody easily ranks among the very best we’ve done. As expected, Mission Escape once again delivers an incredible experience — not just a room full of puzzles, but a fully immersive story that pulls you in from the moment you start. The level of detail, the seamless use of technology, and the clever puzzle design all come together beautifully. What really stands out is how well everything ties into the narrative — nothing feels random or out of place. It’s heartfelt, atmospheric, and incredibly well executed. Mission Escape continues to set the standard for premium escape experiences in Sydney. Every new room they release feels cinematic, thoughtful, and memorable. Unplayed Melody is a must‑play for both enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

First, the storytelling, chefs kiss. I feel like escape rooms usually just have a general background story and the room has themes that match the story, but this escape room revealed more and more of the narrative after each clue and each room. This story telling definitely added to the satisfaction of completing each puzzle. The room has some pretty high tech puzzles and features that was pretty cool to play through. My boyfriend pointed out that he enjoyed how most of the puzzles led to another sequentially, which kind of supported the story telling technique, as opposed to a room full of puzzles that can be solved in no particular order that gets you to the goal. I felt the difficulty was average. Many of the puzzles required the threw of us to think them through, but it didn't take too much time compared to most puzzles I've done. The gameplay and story telling was very refreshing

What an impressive and spacious room! Superb theming combined with hi-tech puzzles and cinematic moments to deliver Mission’s best non-live-actor room to date. Definitely on the easier side (by Mission’s standards) but still challenging enough for enthusiasts to have a fun and engaging experience.

Mission Room Escape have cooked up an absolute doozy with their newest room, The Unplayed Melody. True to Mission’s signature style, it leans heavily on mechanical interactions — solve a puzzle, and you can expect something to trigger or shift. But what sets this one apart is the beautiful backstory woven through the experience, which carries real emotional weight from start to finish. Like most of Mission’s rooms, this is a fairly large experience, spanning several spaces — and each one is cleverly designed and visually stunning. The aesthetics are on point, with nothing out of place. Every puzzle feels purposeful, feeding into the story and elevating the journey. Difficulty-wise, I’d rate it easy to medium. It’s very accessible for newer players but still packed with enough content to satisfy even the most seasoned escapers. All in all, an extremely well-executed room.

wait. why was this room. KYUTEEEEE!!!!!
