Perpetual Motion

The puzzles? Difficult. The record? Broken. The motion? Perpetual. What a cool room! The themes available at Elude never fail to disappoint in their distinctiveness and creativity, always providing players with one of a kind environments and endless content, these guys rock. Hard to write up a review here without mentioning ✨the car✨, plonked right in the middle of the room, it's jarring, it's wonderful and it's so much more than just a prop. Come to think of it, the puzzle design is actually incorporated quite cleverly around a series of large set pieces, meaning players are encouraged to explore and experiment with every element the room throws at you, it's not exactly "beginner-friendly" but still the most achievable offering across the venue. I believe this is Julia and Darren's first build which is even more impressive considering how complete the game felt; it really sets the tone for everything else they've created since. Exemplary.

Perpetual motion was my nickname in high school. A more conventional escape room with a linear flow and relatively intuitive puzzling, this would be a good room to begin your Elude journey. Definitely a bit easier than the other two we played previously, it was still a great experience. Something unique as Elude is at the end they run you back through the room. I personally enjoyed this as it served as a good reminder of any questions I had throughout gameplay. Excited to return to tackle Framed in the future.

We found Elude Escape rooms quite challenging and unlike most escape rooms/puzzles we've done and have to think out of the box a bit more than your typical ones.

Great, lots of elements and interesting. Did it with a group of 6 and everyone had something to do most of the time. Creative puzzle design.

8/10. Really fun experience for our newbie team. We all loved it. We almost escaped. GM was very friendly and polite. Fun puzzles and engaging. Can be quite challenging at times, especially the beginning.

We didn’t escape on time but it was such a fun experience and we are looking forward to going back and trying out some more rooms. Way more challenging than expected, with only two people it can be quite difficult I wish we had taken some friends to help piece things together more quickly and add a different perspective. The game masters really took the time to go over everything with us at the end and were absolutely lovely.

Perpetual Motion was yet another challenging and thrilling room with awesome puzzles. It was nothing like what I had expected but we still had a nerve-wracking blast of a time. We wasted a fair bit of time on red herrings and on one particular puzzle that we needed a few hints to crack, escaping by the skin of our teeth with 37 seconds to spare! Feels so good to finally beat a room at Elude, definitely the most challenging place we’ve been to in Sydney! Yin Yang is next!

This was marked as their easiest one but still very challenging. Puzzles flowed very well and we were never stuck on what we had to do next. The set is very well made but also deceptively small. More experienced escape room enthusiasts will very much enjoy these rooms!

Such an amazing room!! This room definitely challenged us so will need our A game for their more challenging rooms that we are yet to do. Percetual Motion had some unique puzzles that we hadn’t come across before, we enjoyed the clue system and the attention to detail in this room was unmatched. We loved chatting with the owner after our game and received some great recommendations for other rooms in Sydney. Can’t wait to be back for the other rooms!

Perpetual Motion was a linear escape experience that truly tested our team. The layout, props, and setting were absolutely amazing and looked fantastic. The room is well-designed and features puzzles that are as clever and challenging as any of the best escape rooms in the city. Although Perpetual Motion is more of a low-tech experience, this suits the room and its spaces perfectly. The flow of the room is well considered, and there were several puzzles unlike anything we have seen in other Sydney rooms. Additionally, the service provided by Darren and Julia was exceptional. After we escaped, with a bit of bonus time added, Darren spent time with us in the debrief, going over puzzles, explaining different aspects, and discussing areas where we got a bit caught up. You can tell and appreciate their rooms are built and run by enthusiasts and we can't wait to go back for the remaining 2 rooms.
