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.

Did 2 rooms, Da Vinci and Lost. Was not impressed with the quality of puzzles and attention to detail given by our game masters and hosts. To better improve the experience for your customers, can I suggest the following?
Da Vinci
1. Please supply equipment which work and please ensure that the batteries are full. I will not say which equipment to spoil the surprise for others but it was more than 2 items/puzzles were not working. As a minor example, the timer numbers were not appearing properly
2. Please watch what we are doing. We spent a long time on a broken puzzle only to be told to try again numerous times and in the end, it was a faulty puzzle
3. Please replace the keypads. They are so worn out and you can already tell which numbers you are meant to press
4. Please ensure that when codes are cracked, if they open something, that it is clearly visible or audible. As we were unsure whether we solved the puzzle or not (and I believe we did), we were asked to keep doing what we had done already thus wasting our time
5. If numbers are meant to be visible, please make sure they are. When we were asked to look, we could only see that there were hints of numbers that were no longer readable
6. To better improve the experience, it would be great if the game master put some enthusiasm in the introduction
Lost
1. Our walkie talkies did not work from the start, we were stuck, and remained stuck for 50mins or so despite me sitting around and waving at the cameras.The game master eventually noticed, came in, told us we had 10mins left, synced the walkie talkies together, left the room, and after a few minutes, voila, walkie talkies did not work again. And that was the end of the room for us. It would be great if the game masters would monitor the room with more attention to detail. It was a fun experience because of the props, but not because it was an escape room as we did not solve much due to lack of care from our game master.
Overall, the rooms maybe might be fine for kids parties but for adults, I would not recommend doing either of these rooms. If you are looking for a good experience, I would avoid Break the Code altogether. It was a disappointing experience and out of the 30+ rooms I have done in the past, these 2 rooms would definitely be at my bottom :(

We played The DaVinci room a few months back and had a great experience! This time we did Jones’ Adventure which had a fantastic twist we did not expect! One of the best escape rooms we’ve completed! Rob, our game master was awesome at helping us out and made our time there so much fun. We were able to do the Lost room afterwards and that really tested our skills. Looking forward to doing the other rooms very soon!

Best escape room in Sydney! Always have a blast going to break the code and it never fails to disappoint. Went last night and couldn’t help but do another room as soon as we escaped our first one. Highly recommend to anyone who likes a good challenge!
Thanks to rob for being such a legend as well!

Went there with a group of friends and it was challenging enough to keep us entertained for the whole time. The room was nicely decorated and was an immersive experience. Staffs were really nice and explained the game clearly with us. Would recommend if you are looking for a challenge. Will definitely go back :)

We had so much fun at Break the Code!! Me and my girlfriends played the Indiana Jones room and had a blast! The room was hard at first we took 30 minutes to work out how to unlock the first door (with hints given by the staff on the walkie-talkie) but we got smarter (lol) and managed to clear the game! Very happy will def be back for more!

My family and I did the Avatar room and were slightly disappointed. The room was poorly lit and one part of a room’s clue kept falling off. The staff was nice and helpful, but our means of communication (a walkie talkie) made it hard to receive clues. Even though we came close, the six of us did not escape.

Our time in the Avatar break room was a great experience. This room has great puzzles, both challenging and fun. For a first timers it was at the right level.

Our time at Break the Code in the Da Vinci room was excellent. Daniel was especially helpful and made our time smooth and fun. We managed to escape too which was a bonus

Hi there! We unfortunately don't allow strangers to play with other groups. Each group has the room to themselves and group sizes need to be between 2-8 people. Sorry about that Bruce!
