About
Escape rooms are live-action strategic games, where players work in teams to discover clues, solve puzzles and accomplish tasks in order to successfully reach the goal in a limited time. Real-life escape rooms are a fun new entertainment concept. It is a type of physical adventure game in which a small group of friends are placed in a room and have to use elements of the room to solve it.
Duration: 1-2 hours

- LapamovskiSydney, Australia4 contributionsFive star funBrilliant family fun. As soon as the time started the teamwork began, and we had loads of fun as a family with the awkward teenage kids, but they loved it and looking to try another room. The place is in a great location with such friendly staff. Many thanks đź‘ŚVisited November 2023Travelled with familyWritten 26 November 2023

- Norman P1 contributionFun, challenging and satisfying.Don't be fooled by the un-assuming exterior of the building - this place does some really fun, satisfying games. We arrived rather early but didn't have to wait long because Social Escape was able to start our game early. Our game master Darcy was friendly, funny, encouraging and very helpful, with clear instructions.Visited January 2024Travelled with familyWritten 10 January 2024

Booked the Paris Escape for myself, my 2 children and 2 neices (all aged between 9-12yrs). The very professional and polite Laura was so accommodating when I called to book - the day we wanted to book appeared full online but Laura moved things around for us.
The Paris Escape was awesome fun! The clues were pitched perfectly and challenged us nicely - we needed only a few hints from Laura. The room and atmosphere itself was fully immersive. In the end, the kids were so proud of their efforts in completing the task before the hour was up (1 min 38s to spare!). We would definitely recommend The Social Escape. Could not fault them.

Our family group of 5 (all adults) were fortunate enough to sneak in an escape room before lock down at Social Escape. We were looking forward to trying their new room Ransom and it did not disappoint us. From the 'oh wow' moment at the beginning of the game right through to the end - it was a brilliant room. There was a good mix of puzzles and the room was non-linear which we really enjoyed. We had a wonderfully warm welcome from Mark and enjoyed a great chat with him at the end of the game. If you haven't been to Social Escape yet - as soon as restrictions are lifted make sure you book in and go! We can highly recommend all of their rooms. Their theming, attention to detail and excellent puzzle design and execution are exceptional. Thanks Mark and team for such a great experience.

The Paris room was the perfect choice for our first family escape room. Host was very welcoming when we arrived and supported us throughout the game to ensure success. Engaging puzzles that enabled both kids and adults to participate. We left with a smile on our face and couldn’t wait to do more. Highly enjoyable and highly recommended!!

I took my 6 year old to do the Paris room as a school holiday activity. Not only were there more puzzles than I anticipated (we took it too casually at the beginning!), they were a great level of difficulty and complete with some sophisticated mechanisms for triggering things.
I'd have to admit that my 6 year old was only able to help complete a few of the puzzles, and when the time started running out, it mostly fell on me, but he certainly had a fantastic time. I'd suggest that if you're going to take a child of this age, you go with at least 2 adults so that one can spend time working through the easier puzzles with the child, while the other person continues searching and solving things. Otherwise, it's quite difficult to finish the room within the 1 hour time limit.
But,we just made it with less than a minute on the clock which we were both very happy with!
Mark was an awesome host, providing hints when we needed them, and saving us a few crucial minutes when the time started running out. Can't wait to try the other rooms.

Excellent escape room, had so much fun doing it. The room was set up really well and the clues were cleverly thought out to really get you thinking. Our host Lucy was amazing, when giving hints she played a character and we got a little more time to complete. I highty recommend social escape rooms.

Yesterday, my girlfriend and I did the Baker St Mystery escape room and had a ball. The room was so detailed and aesthetic putting an instant smile on our faces as we entered the room. The puzzles were tricky enough to require problem solving and discussion but made very clear connections all the way through that made it easy to follow.
Also a MASSIVE SHOUTOUT to MARK who was the game master. Mark was there to help us through the puzzles promptly and without ever actually giving away the solutions!!! He also deserves credit for his enthusiasm and positive energy throughout the experience. He even came in to congratulate us and reminisce on all the puzzles we did, the ones we struggled with and the ones we did quicker than average. Real credit to his commitment!!
Overall a great experience. We will be back!

Loved the visuals and I don't just mean the Parisian surrounds. Saying more might be giving it away! Great range of puzzles - some played to my strengths, some to my husband's. Loved the ability to note stuff down - would love that in all Escape Rooms :) Thankful for a wonderful and fun adventure - a city I don't really want to escape so I'm glad it was just pretend...

We recently booked two rooms to celebrate my husbands birthday. It was SO much fun. The team at Social Escape rooms were professional, the rooms were difficult enough to make it fun and challenging, the spaces were clean. Totally recommend it if you want something to do, keep your brain ticking, and have fun with a small group of friends.

this was loads of fun - still thinking about it days later! Would recommend Baker St for a group of 3 or more so you can each work on individual puzzles. Our cluemaster was just lovely - really engaging and able to guide us in the right direction without giving away the answer

Went with 3 of my friends, the staff is so welcoming and helpful. Did the Bank Heist which is difficult but doable, the details and effort that have been put into the escape room is astonishing. Would definitely recommend it for others who wanna have some fun and try something new. Gonna do it again soon with my mates.

What is the minimum number of players you can have?
Does price change by room?
Written 13 September 2019
Hi. The rooms can be played by as few as two players (the Paris game can even be attempted by a brave solo player too). The games are quite hard with only two players, however, and we suggest a few more in the team.
Prices are currently the same for all of our games.
Written 14 September 2019
Hi, the pricing is based on the number of players in the game room that you play.
Current pricing can be seen on our website - our prices at the moment are $36 for a group of 6 or more in each game, and a little bit higher for smaller teams.

I am traveling with my mom (70 y.o.) and my kids (7 y.o.), would they enjoy this place? And how many hours do u think u can spend here?
Written 17 June 2018
I think they would really enjoy the experience here! We have games that suit all ages, and have had kids and grandparents share a fun time together many times.
The games each last one hour, plus some extra time for briefing before the game.

Do you allow one stranger to join an incomplete group?
Written 1 June 2018
Although we’ve considered the option of public bookings, we don’t have it available yet.
One of our games is available as a solo mission though, so this might be a great option for you.
