How Escape Rooms Actually Work

Alien Invaders, Old Haunt and Shutdown are the three themed rooms run by Red Herring Escape Rooms inside Holey Moley Crown Melbourne, at 8 Whiteman St in Southbank. Each has its own storyline and its own level of difficulty, so a group can pick the challenge to suit who's playing. Why groups book a room here:

  • Three separate stories to choose between, so a second visit can tackle a different one.
  • Difficulty varies room to room, letting first-timers and puzzle fans pick accordingly.
  • Two themed nine-hole golf courses sit in the same venue for before or after.
  • Juke's, a 70s-styled bar with a pianist and private karaoke rooms, is under the same roof.
  • The Caddyshack bar serves cocktails, pizzas, burgers and share plates once the clock stops.

The venue is inside the Crown entertainment complex, in the Clarke Street building, on the Southbank side of the Yarra.

Planning the escape

  • Choose one of the three rooms when booking; each tells a different story.
  • A team of ten-plus can lock in a priced-per-guest deal covering a reserved spot, catering and drinks, or ask for a custom version.
  • Teenagers are fine until 5pm; between 5pm and 8pm they need a parent or guardian alongside.
  • After 8pm every player must carry photo ID.

Turning it into a night out

  • Pairing an escape room with golf or karaoke is an easy way to stretch a birthday or work night.
  • The Caddyshack bar is dressed as a pool deck, deckchairs included.
  • Drivers can park in Crown's multi-storey car park, with entrances on Kings Way and on Haig and Clarke Streets.
  • Golf is capped at six shots per hole, which keeps a warm-up round moving.
