How Escape Rooms Actually Work

Two friends who had played well over 220 escape rooms between them built The Cool Space Escape Rooms, a small independent studio at 2/134 Abercrombie Street, Chippendale. Josh writes the stories, graphics and technology, Daniel builds the sets and the hidden mechanisms, and both worked as game masters elsewhere before opening their own.

The two games side by side:

  • Sweethearts: staff from a struggling ice cream shop break into a rival parlour after dark, for two to eight players with three to five the sweet spot, high on difficulty and low on fright
  • Seance: a seated game about winning the trust of a spirit in an old mansion, for two to six; actors play live parts and there are jump scares, so it isn't advised for under-16s
  • Length: an hour for each game
  • Help: a gamemaster looks after each group one-on-one, with as many hints as you need and no penalty
  • Keepsake: every player takes home a collectable enamel pin, escape or not

Every booking is private, from $65 per person, and actors in Seance never touch players. Sweethearts uses fog, flashing lights and loud sound effects.

Uni clubs, birthdays and work teams

  • The studio sits close to UTS, the University of Sydney and Notre Dame, and university clubs are among its larger bookings
  • Bigger groups can run Sweethearts and Seance at the same time by arranging times with the studio
  • Birthday crowds get a private room and their own gamemaster
  • Work teams can split across the two games and compare notes afterwards

Before you climb the stairs

  • The venue is reached by stairs, so it isn't wheelchair accessible
  • Lockers are provided for bags
  • Seance suits groups happy with a few frights; Sweethearts is the gentler pick
  • Sweethearts' fog and flashing lights are worth mentioning to anyone sensitive to them

Escape Rooms, Explained

How many people can play at The Cool Space?

Sweethearts takes two to eight players and Seance two to six. Running both games together covers a larger group.

Is Seance suitable for younger players?

It isn't recommended for anyone under 16, because of its jump scares and live performers, though the actors never touch anyone.

What if our team gets stuck?

Each group has a gamemaster one-on-one, and hints are unlimited with no penalty.

Is The Cool Space wheelchair accessible?

No. The studio is reached by stairs.
