Heart of the Mountain

LOVED this experience! Heart of the Mountain doesn’t feel like an escape room—it feels like stepping into a fantasy movie. No time limit means you’re not escaping, you’re adventuring. The set is jaw-dropping, the puzzles are physical and satisfying, and the story pulls you deep into the mountain. Total immersion. Zero reality. 10/10 would get trapped again.

SPECTACULAR. This room was HIGHLY immersive and atmospheric. The puzzles were detailed yet fun and you cannot emphasise how believable to set and experience is. 10/10. The host was passionate and lovely and very welcoming. Could not recommend more.

This was on another level! What an amazing experience! We were lucky enough to experience heart of the mountain when it first opened and it blew us away! Wish we could experience it again for the first time 10/10!

This is more than a typical "escape room" - it's an immersive adventure experience. You feel like you're on a real movie set, akin to Indiana Jones...the detail in the storyline and the collaborative but still reasonably challenging puzzles were excellent. Every single element is so thought through - from the confirmation email to the reception design - it all ties in. The immersive audio design that is interactive is something I've never experienced before. The price was so fair all elements considered. I highly recommend.

Not your typical escape room! Heart of the Mountain boasts impressive high-tech, movie-set quality environments and realistic props. It’s an Indiana Jones-style adventure, with a focus on tasks, rather than traditional puzzles. You can see how much work has been poured into this creation, and it’ll be exciting to see where it goes and what further developments are in store.

Wow. From being enamoured by the gorgeous, ambitious floor-to-ceiling room design to the fascinating mechanical set pieces, ‘Heart of the Mountain’ is an impressive first experience from its designers. Accurately described as an adventure room driven by tasks and light puzzling rather than complex metapuzzles, ‘Heart of the Mountain’ is designed to have teams constantly on the go as they delve deeper into the mountain. Narrative beats serve as the backbone of the experience, as players explore the environment and solve practical puzzles that look and feel real. No actuators can be seen operating the magic behind the scenes — this experience has been meticulously engineered so that things work mechanically. It makes ‘Heart of the Mountain’ all the more special. It’s rare to see things move and operate like a real Indiana Jones puzzle, when so many explorer-inspired rooms opt for electronic wizardry to animate their props. With ample space to expand in their current location, it will be exciting to see what experience follows ‘Heart of the Mountain’s explosive launch into the Sydney scene.

Truly impressive theming and set design, shaping an immersive atmosphere that makes you feel like you're on a film set! The hi-tech puzzles are almost entirely task-based, which are admittedly not my favourite type because they can get finicky at times, but it's still a very different and fun experience with several "wow" moments.
