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.

    We did the Gaol Break room, we were a little nervous as had only done escape rooms as part of a bigger group (was just 2 of us). Without spoiling the room i felt like it worked perfectly and the staff flashed up a hint on a screen when we got stuck.
    Room had some clever puzzles, and staff were excellent. Will be back on our next trip to Melbourne to try another room.

    We ended up with my nephew with us after our babysitter fell through and they were more than happy to accomodate and let him come in with us. He absolutely loved it and our game master made him feel so important and part of our team. We really enjoyed it and this is the best place we’ve been for an escape room.

    Did the Annabelle room,
    The room was scary, and well put together, the challenges were fun, we escaped with only one hint (we didn't find it too challenging)
    The staff were good at the start, however when we escaped we felt they weren't really interested in talking to us, just said thanks cya later, (most times the staff at other places have been keen for a genuine chat about the room and what not) was all good though I suppose we paid for the escape room not to talk to the staff,
    Was a good room though, definitely the favourite out of the 5 or so I've done
    Definitely worth doing, I haven't done the others there but if you are going to do one here pick this one you won't be let down

    We booked for our family to celebrate my sons 14th birthday. A family of five with kids aged 14, 11 and 8. The 8year old was able to participate although got a bit bored by the end as she wasn’t able to help us when we got stuck. 11 year old loved it as did mum and dad. Birthday boy had great fun too.

    Was fairly expensive for our family to do and a drink afterwards added to that expense - but was needed by us all.

    Room where the bar is, was great - games for you to play and had a fun atmosphere.

    My first escape room, it has good storyline, props and was challenging. I enjoyed it with the family.

    What a fantastic evening. Myself and 4 girlfriends loaded into a car, team name, secret ID's and badges arranged and headed to the showgrounds ready for a night of challenges.

    There was music playing and from the moment we arrived there was excitement in the air. The team was great at building the hype. Great puzzels. So much fun! We will definitely be back again

    This was super cool! I knew VR, I knew Escape Rooms but didn’t know what to expect of a combo. But a combo definitely worth it! You get immediately immersed in it all and a great team thing to crack the puzzles. The staff were really nice, friendly and informative. Highly recommend it!

    Having our team building afternoon here was quite disappointing. We booked well in advance and was made to wait over 40 minutes before being escorted to the escape rooms. The room itself could use some updating. The clues were not great and one was broken so we wasted loads of time on that. The staff could be better with their enthusiasm and communication. Overall I wouldn't want to do it again.

    We’ve done a lot of escape rooms, but this was the first in which the room gave feedback. The ghostly companion let us know when we had something right or wrong, which was quite helpful. The room was a little glitchy though and, while warned, we got stuck because a drawer didn’t open. We did try joggling it as instructed, to no avail. We apparently needed to be firmer with our desire for it to open. Due to that, we ran out of time. At the end, we were only 1 move away from completion, which is pretty good for a team of 2. Had the other room at the location been themed more intriguingly, we would have come back for more.
