Neighbourhood: Chapel Street
Seek and ye shall find! Prahran is a treasure hunter’s paradise of vintage stores, upscale boutiques and emporiums. Chapel Street is a one-stop shop with specialty stores selling just about everything. The famous Chapel Street Bazaar has so many curious and vintage knick-knacks that you will feel as if you're in a huge and busy museum. By contrast, at the northern end of Chapel Street, South Yarra and Windsor cater to high-end designer labels and exclusive boutiques. The community flocks to Prahran’s organic markets as a Saturday ritual, while art and film students leaf through vinyl LPs on Greville Street. The gay community also has a strong presence here. Prahran’s heritage buildings like the Reads Emporium and Prahan arcade offer a grand sense of scale and history. No matter your interest, come feel the pulse of one of Melbourne’s most loved precincts.

- Kris T2 contributionsAmazing you feel like you are in the movieWe did the HackSaw room it was amazing. I felt like I was in the movie. So much fun and so many puzzles. We had the best time it was just the perfect amount of scare. The only thing I could suggest to make it even better would be to make it a bit cheaper. But it’s 5 starts from us.Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 5 April 2024
- Jamie KMelbourne, Australia12 contributionsGreat Fun for familiesLoved it!! New to escape rooms as a family, we can't recommend Rush Escape Games enough! We completed the Alice in Wonderland Room in St Kilda (with 10 mins to spare ha ha ) for our daughter's 16th birthday. The staff were absolutely amazing and the rooms are so detailed. We can't wait to try more of the rooms. Thanks again to everyone at the St Kilda Rush. Thank you for being so nice to some newbies to the escape room scene.Visited September 2024Travelled with familyWritten 23 September 2024
- AnnmarieNorthcote, Australia2 contributionsThree boys celebrating their friends birthdayIt was great fun for my son and his 2 friends aged 14 to 15 years of age. They worked it out in about 50 minutes with help from the Rush assistant on the walkie talkie. The only down side is the expense which is why I have given it a 4 not a 5. It was approx $74/person - which I felt was a huge amount for 50 minutes. I think something around the $55-60 would be more reasonable.Visited November 2024Travelled with familyWritten 6 November 2024
- Alex B1 contributionVery funMy family and I have been to several different escape room venues. This one was the best experience. Fun puzzles that my partner, 10year old son and I all we able to contribute to solving. Highly recommend. Quality of the rooms and puzzles is high.Visited December 2024Travelled with familyWritten 11 December 2024
- Candice jentsch2 contributionsEscape room funWe were welcomed by friendly staff and were put at ease as it was our first escape room experience. After a brief explanation of what to expect, we were taken to our room Cluemanji. The room was brilliant. With a walkie talkie we set to work to try solve the many clues/puzzles. We did ask for assistance a couple of times by calling on the walkie talkie and were always assisted in a friendly and helpful way. We had so much fun and the 1hr flew by. We didn’t finish in time but we will be back to try the other escape rooms soon. Thank you for a great experience.Visited January 2025Travelled with familyWritten 17 January 2025

This place is so good! I went on Wednesday the 14th of July at 6pm and I’m not sure the name of the employee there at the time but whoever he was he was great! He made the experience so much better and it was so much fun I really recommend this for everyone! I did the strangest things and it was a mix of thrilling/creepy but I get scared really easily and it wasn’t too bad for me! Again the host was great all the hints he gave us were spot on and never left us confused and over all he was such a fun guy right from the start. The things we had to work out were so creative it was so much fun. Highly recommend!!

We did the Stranger Things themed room at the Hawthorn branch, was a lot more challenging than the last escape room we had previously done, but still seemed fair. Staff were very friendly and helpful, they gave us just the right amount of help when we needed it to get our room finished. Another group completing a separate gave the staff an unwarranted hard time after the group had broken something in the room. Both staff members maintained professionalism and composure, despite being yelled at because the group didn't want to take accountability for breaking one of the items in their room. This did nothing to take away from our experience and it was actually fun to watch unfold, our whole group had a great time.

Our family of four (two adults and our 12 and 9 year old children) visited the Cluemanji escape room. We had a fantastic time solving the puzzles which were fun and engaging. We have experienced perhaps 10 escape rooms as a family and this was a high quality experience, with a friendly host and well maintained kit.
I would particularly recommend this for any families who have members who are fans of the similarly-named films. It lived up to the expectations of the two junior film buffs in our group!

My friends and I are avid escape room lovers and we travel frequently to try different rooms, and for our recent Melbourne trip we thought we would give rush a go. Honestly I went in with low expectations, and these guys blew them out of the water. We booked the Bond room, and it was so much fun we proceeded to book two more rooms! Can't speak highly enough of both our gamemasters, Michael and Nik, who were attentive and energetic - ensuring we all had a great experience. I'd highly recommend the 'Cluemanji' room for beginners as it is so highly immersive (like it looks like a real jungle in there) but also a fairly easy puzzles and straightforward logic. Even though we have done a lot of rooms before we still enjoyed it. 'The last knight rises' is a brilliant room also. To be honest all the rooms we did we walked out feeling pumped. Great use of technology, all puzzles flow nicely and fit within the storyline of the room. Can't recommend this escape room venue enough. We will be back!

We took 8 kids with us as we had previously been to Rush Toorak and loved it. The staff at Rush Toorak were absoloutely phenomenal and embodied customer service. Sarah and Joe did their absolute best to ensure the kids had a great time. They had an issue with one of the rooms at the start and Joe and Sarah went over and above to ensure that the experience was not interrupted. Thank you once again.
We did both the Clumanji and Nightmare rooms. The Clumanji room was great as it kept you on the move the whole time with awesome puzzles to work on. Sarah was awesome with the clues as they were just right and did not give away the answer without some work on our part.
We have done a total of 3 rooms at Rush Toorak and will definitely be back to attempt the rest!

The hackSAW room was a 10/10 “Saw” experience!!! I have never had more fun in an escape room - every detail was perfect, the clues were perfect, every single thing in the room was perfect!!! As huge Saw fans, my partner and I were slightly anxious going in to this experience… Don’t be!! If you’ve seen the movies, if you understand the “Jigsaw” psyche, you will understand and LOVE this room 😍 can’t recommend it enough. Even the lasting memory we were left with is my all time favourite detail in any escape room!! Saw is one of my favourite movie franchises, and one my partner grew to love, and we both had an absolute blast in the room.
Staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful, we are going back soon because of them ☺️
My face hurt from all the smiling and laughing I did, it was just that spot on! Can’t recommend enough.

This escape room was great! We’ve done heaps all over Melbourne and I’d definitely put this one in my top 3. First of all the game master Kels was super welcoming and helpful whenever we needed a hint. Secondly the room was designed so well, they made use of every inch of space they had by filling it with props and decorations and background noises. Will definitely be returning to complete another room here when we’re in the area.
Only note I have for those who are planning on coming here is to give yourself some extra time to find parking!

Rush escape has brand new location this year 2022 in St Kilda. I played all the new room: Resident Evil, Alice in wonderland and Pirate. All the room were beautifully built. The art decor, props created immersive atmosphere. I cannot decide which one is the best. I came to Rush Escape room ( the Pirate room ) on the same day I finished my honor year. Escape the room with 20+ minutes to spare was incredible celebration for me. Big shout out to Jardy for being an amazing and excellent gamemaster, his generosity and amical welcome. We were lucky to meet him all three times we visit Rush St Kilda.
Will definitely come back for the upcoming horror room Conjuring. Thank you

I cannot recommend Rush escape rooms enough. The rooms are greatly themed, the puzzles are very fun and challenging and the game-masters are awesome!
I had done one room with them a couple of years ago, and for me it was the best room I had ever done. I wanted to propose my partner in an escape room - Rush was the obvious choice. I did it in the Last Knight Rises room. Fen and Bee were very helpful in getting everything organized for the day and making sure it would all go smoothly. They encrypted/printed/laminated all the puzzles I wanted to put in the room for me, and did a great job at scattering them around. There were a lot of doing puzzles, using mirrors, weights, moving objects around... But they still required a lot of brain power. The game was super fun even without the proposal. It was perfect with it. A massive thank you to the team for making it all possible. I cannot wait to try more rooms.

At a time when the quality of escape rooms in Melbourne are increasing exponentially Rush have shown themselves to be a contender. We did the Knight room and it was very impressive. The puzzels were unique and inventive. We enjoyed the way new things were revealed when puzzles were solved which really added to the atmosphere. Good room first team building. Better suited to teams or 3-4 people although 2 experienced escapers may be able to get through. Brilliant!

Are the rooms scary or not
Written 16 November 2017
Hi, sorry a little late to reply but I hope this helps someone else. We took a baby into the room with absolutely no dramas. No scary music or themes. Unless they are are afraid of the dark..there are torches but until you find them, it’s a little dim at first.

What is the paradise game? Also, assuming that davinci is puzzle oriented and mission possible is more physical, what kind of work is required for the paradise game?
Written 6 July 2017
Hi! We did the paradise game. Mostly it's riddles, codes etc - thinking a little laterally to solve one clue at a time. I'm sorry I can't help with the davinci room - we only did the one. Fantastic experience - totally safe and very fun!!
