The area
Address
Neighbourhood: The Rocks
The first residents of the Rocks were convicts and sailors from the old nation. As the oldest neighbourhood in the city, the area's cobblestone streets host more than 100 heritage sites and buildings, including the oldest house in Sydney, Camden Cottage, which was built in 1816. Taste a “midi “ or a “schooner” of beer and dine “al fresco” on the waterfront at some of the oldest pubs in Sydney. The weekend markets at the Rocks are where you can find local artists' hand-made souvenirs, organic food and designer jewelry in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. To enjoy some of the best Australian and international contemporary art, the MCA museum is open every day and select evenings. At the end of a long day of sightseeing, be sure to save energy to dance the night away at the area's many late night entertainment venues.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Recommended escape rooms.
May 2022
I have played Bunker(now closed), Supercell, Sen3es and House of Jumanji. Their games were good and would recommend.
All of these games have dim lighting or dark rooms, so vision can be an issue if you have trouble with vision in dim lit rooms.
Also be careful you haven't played the rooms before at another venue.

Clever Mechanical Escape Room
Feb. 2023 • Friends
We made it out alive!! The Jumanji escape room was a very clever mechanical room. It was the perfect level of tricky but solvable puzzles. Some really fun mechanical puzzles and close to solve. Our host Helen made the experience fantastic! Highly recommend this room! Would be suitable for kids to be part of, as there are no scary themes.

Had a really great time trying to escape the room. It was filled with high quality puzzles and problem solving activities. The staff were very friendly and clear with their instructions which made the experience all the more enjoyable. Shout out to James for being our host for the night!

BEWARE IF YOU WANT A REFUND
Jul. 2021
These buggers have really ticked me off
They are quick to answer my queries, as well as take my money once booked, but as soon as I request a refund, its like I dont exist on their books.
Communication/ customer service has been absolutely woeful, and they have LIED about returning my money within "2 business days". It has been well over a week and I dont even know if I will get my money back, as ofcourse, they are yet again not responding to my emails. Nor do they have the capability to return a phone call.
Honestly, their name suits them down to the T. If you want to PANIQ, go through this lousy mob.
I cant express enough how disgusted I am by the so called management of this company.

House of Jumanji
Jul. 2020 • Family
Great room with inventive puzzles and a cohesive story line. Intense, but not terrifying like some rooms. Enough to do for a group of five. Family theme. Just made it out!

Great! Would recommend
Jun. 2020
We really enjoyed it! Super responsible staff in the COVID crisis, super friendly and attentive staff, and the room that we did (Godfather) was super interesting and very challenging! It also had some fairly unique puzzles. Overall, a really great time.

Liked Supercell room, disappointed with Senses...
Oct. 2019 • Friends
My friends and I have done quite a few escape rooms and did Supercell at Paniq about a year ago. We really enjoyed it, loved the theming and puzzles. Their clue system in this room is immersive and unique and the puzzles align with the storyline really well. We returned to do the senses room last month, and after completion - we walked out feeling confused and disappointed. The theme was so stock standard, filled with odd puzzles and it just felt you could have just changed the storyline to anything else and had the same puzzles. For a room about 'senses' it didn't utilise it to its full ability. The room really relied in hidden objects that take a while to find and some weird leaps in logic. I also asked if there was a jump scare (I don't mind creepy but don't like jump scares) and the gamemaster wouldnt confirm whether there was one, so I was highly on edge the whole time (which afterwards, i realised was unnecessary)
The staff were friendly and helpful apart from this.
All in all - I would recommend supercell - it was actually a fantastic room. Senses needs a bit if improvement in my opinion.

Excellent Birthday Visit
Nov. 2019
A group of five friends came here to celebrate my boyfriend's 23rd birthday. We did the S3NSES room and had a blast, it was a lot of fun. Definitely need smart people to figure it out - I think it would be incredibly difficult to get through without at least 4 people. A great mix of puzzles and fear to keep everyone entertained. You also need a lot of teamwork. We have to thank the amazing Hannah for making sure that we finished the room and also for being a total badass with the mechanical saw to rescue our bags from the locker. Will definitely be back!!!
