About
Today there are two types of people on Earth: the ones who rave about mind-bending live escape games and the ones who have never heard of them. Gradually the first group is eating the second one. Alive. Literally. It is very tricky to describe the concept of a Live Escape Game at first, but once you have tried it, the genre is obvious! You and your friends solve puzzles, crack riddles and open locks in a fast paced hour where you will either come out with massive smiles or hating everything. Our games are exciting yet challenging and have been perfectly designed for groups of 2-6 people regardless of knowledge or any specific skills. Players are locked in our themed rooms and must put together the hidden clues they find to overcome various mental tasks they encounter in order to escape the room before the 60 minute timer hits 0!
Duration: 1-2 hours

- Deakin f1 contributionDollhouse escape room with Sophie as gamemasterI went to padlockd with a friend and we did the doll house room. We were definitely freaked out as we are not a huge fan of dolls. Our game master Sophie was absolutely amazing woth the way she helped us. She seems very charismatic as well as she tells us the story before we go on the doll house room. We did complete room thankfully. Overall 10/10 experience.Visited December 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 12 December 2023
- Arshit UnthapoorVenkannaguda, India9 contributionsEscaping the coffin!I come here and do the buried coffin room. This room was much fun, but I will not say details in case of the spoiler alert 😵. The staff were very friendly and helpedful when me and my business partner/friend came here to play. The space is good for even big man like me, but very fat man maybe not so 🤣. I will come again if I visit this area another time.Visited December 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 28 December 2023
- Travellin_w_kidsWestern Australia, Australia118 contributionsThe absolute BEST escape roomsBest escape rooms we have ever experienced. We did School of Magic then Abandoned Carnival- perfect for our tween aged kids. The rooms were more than just 1 or 2 rooms. The clues were logical and interactive and game masters were friendly and seemed to enjoy what they do. Would have gone back for another escape room if they weren’t all booked out. We only did this the first time as the theme parks were closed, but actually preferred this over the theme parks in the end! A must do for everyone.Visited January 2024Travelled with familyWritten 2 January 2024
- Linda s4 contributionsSo much fun!! Highly recommendWe have done lots of escape rooms, mainly Sydney and Canberra- but this was one of the best- we did the the freak show and were disappointed when we finished! We were having so much fun! Our game master Fubba was awesome!! We need to come back to the Gold Coast to do more of there rooms!! On saying that …. Maybe tomorrow ???? High recommend this room and this business 😊Visited February 2024Travelled with familyWritten 4 February 2024
- Karen H1 contributionPadlockD ExperienceIt was amazing! The puzzles were really fun to do as it is tricky and cool at the same time. The entire game is very well made with every step being something that can lead us to achieving our goal. Our gamemaster, Trent was very nice to us and was friendly too. I would definitely recommend to go here!Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 14 April 2024
- BzstuffBatemans Bay, Australia2 contributionsWant to go againReally enjoyed Padlock’d. Four of us (adults) did Museum heist - 3/5 difficulty. Had lots of fun solving the clues. Some were pretty tricky!! Game master was excellent, and knew exactly where we were up to and just supplying a little clue when we asked for it to get going again. Will definitely come back next trip to GC… many more rooms to explore!Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 30 April 2024
- kaidia2017Brisbane, Australia582 contributionsFriendly Staff, great rooms.Another great experience with Padlock’d. This time we tried The Crystal Mine but found out it was in the new location at Patadise Centre on Cavill. Mickey from the front desk and our game master was amazing, very friendly. She offered us a discount code after we finished for our next visit. We will be back and highly recommend.Visited September 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 11 September 2024
- crutt13Pottstown, Pennsylvania649 contributionsFun in SurfersMy first time doing an escape room and my partner and i had a lot of fun with it. They offer a bar and game area while you wait. You have a locker where you can keep your stuff and they are pretty prompt with time. The challenge we did was difficult, but they do offer some level of assistance via walkie talkie. All in at all it was good fun.Visited September 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 21 September 2024

Staff were very accommodating of our son’s special needs, allowing him to look inside the room before we started so as to decrease his anxiety. They also provided him with a torch and reassurance of being able to exit the room (Pipeline room) when he became overwhelmed, then re-enter again when able.
We really enjoyed the search for clues, and would definitely return.
The waiting area was clean and tidy and inviting. The escape room was re-set very well, as you would never suspect other teams had already been through. Just great!

Room: The End
By far the best room that I have done to date.
Everything worked inside as it matched the theme being very ‘SAW’ inspired. A lot of others that I have done rely heavily on number combinations and a few puzzles, but this room excelled by utilising them to the themes advantage.
Also, one of the first rooms that the puzzles feel quite linear and you aren’t all looking at 10 things that don’t actually fit.
The vibe of the room also adds to the urgency of the situation and provides just enough scare factor.
Highly Recommend!

The room puzzles were good and appropriate for kids; the kids had fun.
Unfortunately the experience was tainted by the particularly rude attitude of the female staff member on reception.
I was also concerned that there seemed to be limited Covid-safe measures in place. Sign in but that was it. No hand sanisitiser was available and no indication that rooms were cleaned prior/after each group. Given this is a tourist activity with lots of interstate visitors this seems a little unnecessarily risky.
I would definitely not recommend booking if you want to go, just turn up.

We did Monsters 1 back in February (team of three of us). Cool room with some interesting puzzles! We escaped with only 32:54 minutes used, but unfortunately we were held back by a lock that had been accidentally reset to a combination that was not the correct answer; potentially by the last team on accident, or during the last reset of the room. Easy enough mistake to make - all three of us knew this considering we all work at an escape room business together. Still a bit of a bummer.
We eventually got the lock open by trying a number on either side of the correct combination. Our game master did not realise that we had struggled with the lock at all, and had not chimed in to fix the error for us, despite us being stuck in that spot for 5 or 6 minutes.
When we came out of the room, we were greeting by a different guy to the lady who showed us in, and we explained the mishap. He seemed confused and asked us if we were the ones who had changed the combination on the lock - which is of course impossible if we couldn't get the lock open in the first place. When he realised that we were escape room staff from a different business, he basically laughed it all off and said that due to our high level of experience, we "were basically cheating anyway". He then promptly left us to go get our things without even offering a successful escape photo or any compensation for the mistake - we would've been happy with just an apology and maybe a minute or two added on to our score.
We left feeling quite confused by the situation, and generally unimpressed by the way the situation was handled.

We had a 5 players ages 11-76 and played Museum Heist this morning - 3 had done escape rooms before.
We had a blast - some clues were easy and some challenging and we had to ask for clues twice. Finished with 11 minutes to spare.
Staff were friendly and the facility was well organised.
Highly recommended for family groups as everyone can get involved.

Since it never stops raining on the Gold Coast, we needed activities to keep busy. Fortunately, Padlockd was only a short, cold, wet walk away. My wife and I are fairly accustomed to escape rooms, and while Museum Heist was rather easy, Vampire was just perfect. Out of all the rooms I've done, it might have been the best experience.
Staff is great, rooms are fun, puzzles are varied. Only downside is braving the neverending horrible weather.

Great room, good, creepy atmosphere.
Room played a bit quickly for 4 experienced players but we did need a hint to get started.
Mostly padlock puzzles but the clues to get them are very varied.
I wouldn't play with 6, it was getting a bit cramped with 4. 2 would be a good challenge for experienced players, 4 would be good for those who have done a few rooms.

We played “The End” escape room and had a great time. The idea of trying to escape a locked room solving puzzles and clues, was not something I originally thought was for me but as you progress through the rooms the excitement builds and it’s great to feel like you’ve accomplished each task. I’d highly recommend Fusion to anyone wanting to try something different for lots of fun. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to go again!

A fabulous hour of terrors and trepidation
We took our Neice age 12 who was an escape room veteran.
We were escape room novices
We did the Vampire room 4/5 difficulty rating
We had such a brilliant time
The puzzles were hard but Ruby our guide gave small hints if needed
The effects were scary and made us jump but laugh as well.
We would highly recommend this escape room
for age 10 upwards
This would be great for a party or office bonding sessions and well as kids and adults alike.
Each room has a different story, setting and puzzles.
Would definitely do again in another room.

My daughter (14) & I completed the museum heist here with 7 mins to spare.
It was so much fun. Really recommend a visit to here. You do need to book in advance, especially during peak days and weeks.
Our mission manager was awesome, helping us with little clues along the way when needed.
A must do!
Thanks padlockd. We will be back to do more rooms.

Is it appropriate for children? What age group does it suit?
Written 10 April 2019
They say anyone under 7 can go in for free. I think it would be too hard for under 12s. There must be at least one person over the age of 15 in the room with younger ones, for safety reasons.
Also really depends if they’re going to be working alongside adults or not. A family could work with varying ages.
