Thanks to their entire staff for a great experience. We came in as a last minute booking and they made sure we had a lot of fun. We especially appreciated her showing us around afterwards and explaining some of the props and sharing stories with us. Can't wait to visit again.

Lot of fun, the room is very atmospheric and creative, giving you more of an immersive experience.
Bo Wang
Booked last minute and was super glad we did! The room was full of interesting puzzles and we only needed a couple of clues. The entire staff were great at both selling us the story line and making sure her clues were just enough to put us back on track. Highly recommended!

Definitely one of the very best escape rooms in Sydney. Effects and atmosphere just right, great mix of intriguing puzzles and clever use of props. We escaped with 3 mins to go and only two small hints.
