How Escape Rooms Actually Work

An escape room hands a party a locked door and a clock, and lets the group work out the rest. It is a revealing test of how friends or colleagues cooperate, and the debrief often lasts longer than the game. Melbourne's rooms on this page are spread between the CBD and the Inner South.

In the city, Escape Hunt Melbourne runs themed 60-minute games on Queen St for two to six players per room, from $45 per person; the gentler Aladdin & the Magic Vault suits families, while Zodiac Heist is harder. Strike Bowling Melbourne Central has two escape rooms beside its lanes, from $23 per person.

South of the river, Escape Room Melbourne South Melbourne runs three rooms of its own design in a converted factory on Yarra St, with private 70-minute games, a dedicated host and walkie-talkie hints whenever you ask, from $39 per person. Rush Escape Game South Yarra has six handmade rooms off Toorak Rd, ranging from jungle and dragon adventures for all ages through to real horror, from $70 per person.

For bigger groups:

  • Rush Escape Game South Yarra runs rooms side by side for up to 36, so everyone starts and finishes together
  • Escape Room Melbourne South Melbourne lets up to 18 book all three rooms and race each other out
  • Escape Hunt Melbourne books several rooms at once and can arrange catering
  • Strike Bowling Melbourne Central lets the group bowl once the puzzles are done
