How Escape Rooms Actually Work

Adelaide's escape and challenge rooms are clustered in the CBD, on Hindley Street, Rundle Mall and inside Rundle Place, so a group can play and then walk to dinner. Classic escape games lock a team of two to six in one themed room with an hour on the clock, while challenge-room venues run shorter, faster puzzles that teams rotate through.

Prices are per person: classic escape games start from $40 per person, and the challenge-room format from $26 per person.

What to work out before you book:

  • How many rooms the venue can run at once, which decides whether a big group plays together or in waves.
  • Whether teams can be timed against each other on the same game, which makes a good team-building format.
  • Difficulty: ask which rooms suit first-timers and which are for experienced players.
  • Age guidance, since kids are welcome at these venues but some themes are not suited to younger players.
  • Whether a lounge or bar area is held for the group to debrief, eat and hand out prizes.
  • Accessibility of each room, as some involve stairs, crawling or low light.

Escape rooms are fully indoors and climate-controlled, so they are steady in heatwaves and wet winters alike. For a full work day, pair one with the team building or corporate event pages.

Escape games against challenge rooms

  • A classic escape room is one long story with linked puzzles, suited to small teams who like to think things through.
  • Challenge rooms are short bursts of puzzles, physical games and dexterity tests, often scored on a leaderboard.
  • Mixed groups with less patience for slow clues often prefer the faster challenge format.
  • Larger corporate groups can be spread across many rooms at the venues with ten or eleven of them.

Running a group booking

  • Split teams before the day so friends, departments or generations are mixed on purpose.
  • Ask the game master for a short debrief that reveals how each team did and where they got stuck.
  • Book food and a table in the venue's lounge for afterwards, or a nearby Rundle Street or Hindley Street spot.
  • For a hens or bucks group, check whether costumes or themed props are allowed in the rooms.
  • For kids' parties, ask whether an adult must be in each room and which games are rated for children.

When to book

  • Friday and Saturday evenings fill first, especially through the lead-up to Christmas.
  • Weekday afternoons are easier for corporate groups wanting several rooms running at once.
  • School holidays bring families in during the day, so evening slots may be quieter then.
