Escape rooms are just that - a place to escape for an hour, have some fun, work together as a team, and come out the other end laughing and victorious!

Escape This escape rooms are new on the Melbourne scene (there are some in WA, NSW and QLD) but they have been around since 2020 and were awarded best immersive experience provider in 2026.

You can choose from adventures like Magic University or Pirates - or horror, like Meat Grinder, Zombie or Possession (eek) and they are always opening new ones - Mamma is very excited for Jurassic coming soon. They are fully immersive and you will feel like you have been transported into another world!

If you haven’t done an escape room before this is a great place to start, the staff are friendly, fun and will guide you for the best experience. If you are a seasoned escapist, you will LOVE these rooms too!

Mamma and co are hooked and ready for another adventure here.
