After this experience, you will every time. Death Row: Officer Sparks isn’t playing fair, and has powered up the electric chair.

    Quality family time well-spent
    Wine Cellar is an awesome experience to be with family and discover how clever, smart, energetic and cooperative are my children with their cousins! They didn't want any hints at all and they discovered all the answers to the cues and puzzles just by themselves and by working together! The ambiance of the room certainly contributed as well. Well done to the team behind all of this. We will try and do the other rooms next time!
    That is a truly talented family you have there! Congratulations to them on their terrific teamwork, and a heartfelt thank you for such a thoughtful review! We can't wait to lock you all away again...

    Awesome experience
    We took a Year 12 group here as part of our end of year celebrations and they really enjoyed it! Staff were very helpful, kind, flexible & very energetic. Thank you very much to the team at Escape Manor. Awesome experience!
    Thank you for such a wonderful review. We were honoured to host them for such a momentous occasion: the escape from school! Should the 2024 graduates need locking away, we're happy to facilitate the next challenge :)

    Thrills in Cabin 13, a great escape.
    It was thrilling, exciting and a bit scary when you first entered the room. It opened our eyes to the fun you could have. It was our first Escape Room experience, and we enjoyed it and can wholeheartedly recommend it. Clue: Split up and thoroughly search the room for clues first, including the ceiling.. Look for lamps that can show hidden clues.
    What a way to begin your escape room escapades! We're thrilled you had a memorable experience, and appreciate your kind review. We look forward to locking you and your friends away again :)

    Escape! The Asylum
    This place is great, second room I have done and would 100% recommend. My mates and I book a different room every year with the Escape Manor to start our night out in the city on a high. All the staff members are helpful and great but the actors in the rooms really make the night. Cheers guys for another great night out.
    Well, we think you're great! We're so glad to have been a part of those special nights. Just one more room and you're halfway through our experiences! Should you end up completing all six, be sure to let us know when you're on your final room for a cheeky little surprise... We look forward to locking you up again!

    Lots of fun
    This was my first experience with an Escape Room. It was so much fun working out the puzzles and clues and the staff at Escape Manor were so friendly and made sure we had a wonderful time. I will definitely be going back to try one of the other rooms.
    An honour to have hosted your first experience! Thrilled it was worthy of such wonderful words. We can't wait to lock you away again... ;)

    Incredible.
    I've been to Escape Manor on three occasions now. It is incredible. Immersive rooms, engaging puzzles which are difficult enough that they make you work, but not so difficult as to be impossible, friendly staff... Escape Manor has it all!
    What a coincidence, that's precisely how we'd we'd describe you! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful sentiment. We can't wait to have you back for your next three escapes.

    Great place for great fun
    If you like a bit of horror definitely do cabin13, its a bit more expensive than the other rooms but its great, there's an actor in there with you off to one side If youre feeling a bit claustrophobic, give the Wine Room a go. It's a larger room and they're alright with the door remaining open. I've had a lot of fun here
    Fantastic recommendations there, Tapestretic! We're glad the scariness was to your liking, and yes indeed, we are always happy to modify our experiences however we can to accommodate our escape artists. We truly appreciate your kind and thoughtful review, and look forward to locking you up again.

    You can escape the room but can't escape the fun
    Escape Manor is a fantastic place to visit if you're looking for a fun activity on a week night or weekend. The rooms/themes are fun, the puzzles are challenging, and the hosts really sell the experience (especially Scott, who's been amazing the few times we've been). Highly recommend as an activity for couples, groups of friends, or work functions for a bit of fun. Would highly recommend Eacape Manor - but be warned, it's addictive!
    A brilliant tagline, followed by a thoughtfully crafted review, and finishing with something flatterboding! Thank you for such a beautiful review, Loreleim637. We'll be sure to pass that sentiment along to Scott - you'll make his week. We can't wait to have you back again for your next escape fix... ;)

    Great time for anyone
    Absolutely loved our session yesterday! We did the cabin 13 room and it was brilliant. The addition of a real live actor added so much and his performance was just brilliant. Cannot recommend this highly enough!!!
    Well, we absolutely loved having you! We're also relieved that you survived the horror of Cabin 13, and so grateful for such a beautiful review, thank you! We hope to lock you away again in 2024...

This was a top notch experience from the making the initial booking to walking out with a big smile afterwards.

You can book online selecting from a number of rooms with defined times. There is enough information to select a room with a storyline that will interest you without giving too much away. Communication was great right up to the day itself, when we were welcomed warmly and provided a quick run-down, the chance to buy a drink and a comfortable lounge to await the specific room instructions.

The escape room itself was a brilliant experience, a real challenge and so much fun !!! After we came out we weren't in any way rushed, we were able to grab another drink and relive our favourite parts while we collected our belongings from the secure lockers then on to enjoy the rest of our weekend.

Excellent staff, a great set up, we'll definitely be back.

Throughly enjoy this escape room here. We escaped from the Asylum! A brilliant backstory with props and clues coming in a variety of different forms. No clues though. We did it in group of 6, but 3 or 4 would also work. Think outside the box and brush up on your saw films.

Visit Date: 10/03/2020 SPOILER FREE REVIEW!
First off the staff clearly love what they do and you can feel this from when you enter the building.
There are a number of rooms available and I am sure that all are just as challenging as the next.
The Covenant was our room of choice on tonight’s adventure.
The theming, introduction and challenges are all really well done, some harder that other, but all in line with the room.
Highly recommend, but for a group of 4 or more as you need the extra brain power.
One little thing to note, the room is dark at times and the small flashlight that you come across very early and easily doesn’t quite cut it at times for us visually challenged, glasses wearing individuals.

Great time had by all and I am sure that when we are back we will be jumping into those other rooms.

We loved the way our host 'set up' our experience with the role play in the padded cell prior to entering the asylum escape room. It really set the stage for our experience and provided fabulous energy and enthusiasm.
The room was particularly challenging, especially with a room of very tired travellers :) but it really made us have to work together and think outside the box. Our host provided a few prompts that really kept us going and helped us eventually escape just in time.
A fabulous experience, fabulous location, fabulous staff who were extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. Loved the decor, the vibe and the general atmosphere, it felt like we were in an exotic, enchanting place.

We've done all of Escape Manor's rooms and for a good reason - they're the best escape rooms in Bris. Highly recommended for small and big groups.
All of their rooms are more challenging than beginner but they have well integrated puzzles, great themed rooms and minimal issues. Probably the best part is the introductory acting on behalf of the staff, they're really good at immersing you in the story behind the room (some rooms better than others).
Looking forward to new rooms coming.

***Not for kids though.

We did 2 of their rooms (death row and the asylum) which were both fantastic. It was very immersive with staff taking on a character to set the theme/mood and really great light and sound effects. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend

Your first challenge is to find the location, entry is off the street into a building and into an elevator .....and from the moment you arrive the staff are really friendly and helpful. We had Brooke look after us for our first visit to Escape Manor and the Asylum,and she made our visit so much more fun and immersive. Our family is made up of different ages which kept everyone interested in solving clues through the process of trying to break out! I think the Walkie talkie is also helpful if you really need it.. Overall it is hard to find activities in the city that are fun for the whole family to participate in, looks like we have to go back now and try escape from some other rooms ! Thanks for a fun time.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Magicians escape room. From the minute you arrive greeted by an actor you are taken on a journey as apart of the escape experience. We found that six people was an ideal number to crack all the codes in the given time.

This is my 2nd time coming to this establishment and I am still raving on about how fun and exhilarating and memorable these escape rooms are.

This is a great activity to do with your friends or colleagues and really brings out the team work in everyone as you are very much motivated to escape. The staff are absolutely amazing and really know how to captivate you when beginning your journey.

Each room has it's own individual character and 2 rooms are never alike. And as the website details, they don't determine the difficulty, "the difficulty depends on you, as each room has a certain "mind" that you grapple with." For more information, their FAQ tab has basically all you need to know, and for other enquiries, they're definitely able to help out.

10/10 would encourage anyone who enjoys mystery and thrills to try out Escape Manor!!

After a break from escape rooms (covid-19) I had the chance to visit Escape Manor again.

There are new rooms, and we chose to do "The Magician's Secret". Peter continues to be the consummate host and from the greeting to the escape we had another top notch session. The nudges we needed were well timed, and the challenges kept us locked in for the full session.

Escape Manor is still the best version of escape rooms we have done.
