- Anthony P.2 contributionsImmersive, Addictive, Realistic, Fun. No just locks.Played all the games and they were all amazing! The immersion in each game was perfect, it felt like you were in the story yourself. Unlike other brands, there isn't too many puzzles, and where most places have locks on doors, this uses game-like mechanics that mimics real-life. (Without spoilers or not including examples in the games) it could be like having an action that causes the sun to rise, or opening a hatch to reveal a puzzle that unlocks something. Honestly this place is the best experience I've had, and there are different levels for different types of people. Very enjoyable and will sadly have to wait until they make newer rooms or a new location (with new rooms)Hi Anthony! Thank you for spending some time and writing us this review. It's great to hear that you found the games to be amazing, with a perfect level of immersion. We are blown away by your excitment and the love for our rooms. We can see the amazing time you had with us and are eagerly looking forward to our new room. With customers like you motivates us to speed up the process in presenting a new room to you. Looking forward to hosting another adventure for you and the team!

- Wanderer455343448481 contributionIntruders reviewI hadn't done an escape room in nearly 4 years and I had heard rumours of Intruders being an excellent experience. It did not disappoint. The story, acting and room setups were extraordinarily good. Considering I am someone who hates horror, I was terrified and engaged throughout every step of the way.Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we are thrilled to see that our Intruders room didns't disappoint you. The room too a long time to craft and recongntion like yours really motivates us to bring more quality rooms to our customers. Great to see that you were able to over come youe fear of horror and truely immerse in the experience.

- A NSydney, Australia2 contributionsFun experience in cityWe played the Trapped room that had the lift on the weekend, which god, was so stressful. Keep an eye out on the timer count, don't scramble to solve the puzzles and take it slow. We did end up escaping though and felt like real detectives =) We hope you had a good time watching us.Hi A N, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the Trapped room, even though it was stressful. Keeping an eye on the timer and pacing yourself is definitely great advice.

- Daniel Z1 contributionMust try!!!!! Intrusers!"The hospital-themed escape room was an intense and thrilling experience! From the eerie atmosphere to the spine-chilling sound effects, everything was designed to keep you on edge. The puzzles were challenging but not impossible, making the whole adventure exciting and rewarding. The attention to detail in the creepy hospital setting really enhanced the horror factor, and the story kept us hooked throughout. Highly recommend for anyone who loves a good scare and a solid mental challenge!"Hi Daniel! Thank you for your amazing review! We're so glad you found the hospital-themed escape room intense and thrilling.

My partner and I are from Brisbane and had done many escape rooms back home. We like to think of ourselves as quite good at escape rooms and were super excited to try out some Sydney ones. We did Unstoppable at Mission Escape George St & can honestly say it was the BEST escape room we’ve ever done. Instead of locks and combinations it was all mechanical and theatrical (very movie like) and immersive. The attention to detail in the set and props was incredible. The host was also very helpful and friendly. If you’re visiting sydney and wanting to try an escape room, I could not recommend this experience enough !!!! thank you !!!

This is such a great escape room! We did the sacrifice room with a group of 5 and it was a perfect group size and the perfect level of difficulty (level 4). Be ready for moments of pitch black rooms, real life actors dressed up in theme, and really cool ways to unlock the various rooms. It takes team work to get through so go with a group that you enjoy solving puzzles with. Super satisfying when you finish with a bunch of your best mates!

“Highly Immersive and Superb Experience” My friends and I decided to go to Mission Escape Room in George Street. We went for “The Sacrifice”. All I can say is “Wow! This is Brilliant!” I have nothing but great feedback. The rooms are really well designed and planned. It is highly immersive and really interactive. Each room are really challenging and out teams teamwork was also tested. The 5D experience is out of this world. I tried so many escape rooms but Mission Escape George Street stands out the most and definitely on my Top 1. Our game master Sabrina also did an amazing job briefing our group and guiding us. She really did an amazing job and provided us fun and exciting escape room experience.
I highly recommend going for “The Sacrifice” for experienced players and I also recommend going for “Extra Spicy” Difficulty. 😉
Thank you Mission Escape Room George Street and Sabrina.
Well Done 🙏🏼🌺☺️

Escape room enthusiast power couple did it again with 6 minutes to spare ! My Partner and I attended Mission Escape on George St and tried our hand at "Trapped", having played "The Last Order" with Mission Escape on Pitt St before we had a good idea of what to expect. The concept with Mission Escape rooms differ from your normal locks and keys sort of rooms, a lot more mechanical triggering takes place which is both intriguing and exciting. It creates a realistic experience with voice overs, easy to follow storyline and a seemingly functional elevator. Having to admit The Last Order puzzles were a bit more fun however Mission Escape George St had the most amazing game masters . The game masters that take time to explain the storyline, ask your questions, do a quick run down of the puzzles and mechanics. The experience was amazing and highly Recommended! We will definitely be back to play "Unstoppable" !

I did ‘The Sacrifice’ room with 2 friends and it was such an amazing experience! It was so immersive and interactive the whole way through. The story line was really interesting and carried through to each room really well. It really felt like we were involved with the story and characters. There were so many rooms to discover as opposed to other escape rooms i’ve done with only 2 or 3 rooms where it’s hard to get invested in the story. The mechanical puzzles were so much better than traditional locks and the whole experience was pretty much perfect! This particular room was pretty scary though, not for the faint hearted!!

The Sacrifice was one of the best escape rooms I've ever done if not the best. The atmosphere, puzzles, and live actors created a fantastic experience that was intense and scary. Would definitely recommend!

We did “the sacrifice” room. LOVED the live actors - made the experience one I won’t forget in a very long time. The puzzles were just difficult enough to get your brain turning but it doesn’t take away from the story line. Would definitely recommend. Bring your nerves of steel 💪🏽

Did the Unstoppable room after seeing all the great reviews and it really did live up to its name! The service from the game masters are great, the venue looks great and comfy, and it's very surprising that it's inside an office building - just a taste of what you're about to get in any of the rooms you do!
The puzzles were great for my mates and I to bond and talk about for ages to come. They prioritise observation, logical thinking, teamwork, and memory and while challenging, definitely not impossible. I am without a doubt checking out Mission Escapes' other rooms at the George and Pitt st branches. Thanks Mission Escape Team George St!

I’ve done heaps of escape rooms (close to nearly finishing all of Mission Escape’s ones) and I have to say by far “The Sacrifice” is AMAZING and the best I’ve done so far. Live Actors, the suspense and the incredible attention to detail for set design just makes it really, really worth it. The only thing I’m sad about now is that I’ve done it and I can’t redo it :( Honestly worth the price and experience. A must do for any escape room lover!

Mission Escape is located conveniently on George Street next to the Chinatown Light Rail station. When we arrived, the staff welcomed and helped us choose the perfect Escape Room for our group. We decided to go with a room called "The Sacrifice" which turned out to be the best offering that they have. During the experience, we quickly realise how unique this Escape Room was compared to other offerings at other businesses. The map was well designed with logical puzzles scattered across the rooms. There were also live actors in this Escape Room which really increased the tension in the room and definitely gave us incentive to solve these puzzles quickly. I strongly recommend Mission Escape George Street for your Escape Room cravings! A big thank you to the staff for accommodating us on short notice as well as looking after us during the experience.
