area 51 Escape Room Perth

The City of Perth's best and only Area 51 escape room is located at Escape This's new Perth CBD escape rooms centre conveniently located on the Hay St Mall, just a short walk from the Perth Underground, Elizabeth Quay, and Perth train stations.

Area 51 has a difficulty rating of 7 out of 10. Bring on the challenge! In Area 51, the clues are generally easy to find, but solving them can be a challenging, while still offering plenty of fun and excitement. Recommended for players who've experienced an escape room before, but still great for beginner-level escapers up for a bit more of a challenge. Learn more about our difficulty levels here.

Absolutely! Area 51 is loved by children and adults alike. It's a great choice for a family outing!

A few rules though:

1. The minimum player age is 9 years old. 
2. If the group contains any children under the age of 14 then an adult must remain onsite for the duration of the booking (but does not need to accompany the group into the room).
3. If the whole group is 14 and older no adult needs to remain on site.
4. If you have a child too young to participate we can sometimes arrange for them to accompany the group as a spectator into the room.

The simplest way is to check availability and book online here. Our website shows live availability and all bookings are confirmed immediately. It's the quickest and best way to secure your desired time slot.

At Escape This, all bookings are exclusive to your group. This has always been (and will remain to be) our policy before, during and after Covid.

If you want to be locked in a room with a group of people you have never met before (some people do!) then we recommend you try another escape room experience provider.

Absolutely, if you want to book multiple escape rooms, including Area 51, to start at the same time. Please use our multi room booker to check availability and place a booking. 

You certainly can! If you have ever considered dressing up for your escape room experience we encourage you to do so when you play Area 51. Why not come as an alien?!

You'll have one hour inside Area 51... so don't get caught! We recommend you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled start time and if you allow for 15 minutes afterwards, to catch your breath and debrief, your whole experience will last up to 90 minutes. You may be one of the lucky ones to escape earlier, in which case your time with us may be shorter.

The maximum group size that our Area 51 escape room can accomodate is 12 people.

Our group limits are set to optimise gameplay and ensure a truly immersive experience for all our guests. Fortunately for you, it is company policy to never compromise on your gameplay experience so these limits are NOT flexible! 

If your group is larger than 12 players we suggest that you book multiple rooms to start at the same time and split your group across the rooms. Thus ensuring the very best experience for everyone in your group.

First time escapers will find Area 51 quite challenging but it remains a very popular choice for first timers. So yes it's a great choice and our gamesmasters will be on hand to offer any extra clues if you need them.

Spoken cues and clues are a key element of our escape rooms. Presently, these cues are only available in English, though we are working towards multi-language options. To ensure the best escape experience in the meantime, we recommend that the majority of your player group should be fluent in English.

Yes! Area 51 is a wheelchair accessible escape room, and a popular one at that with our wheelchair and limited mobility patrons. Please note a limited number of puzzles may be more challenging or difficult to access from a wheelchair, but as escape rooms are a team game requiring a mix of skills and abilities from team members, this should not affect your enjoyment of our rooms. Please note, Area 51 is equipped to accommodate no more than two wheelchairs per session.

Like all escape rooms, Area 51 is a controlled lighting environment. It may feature periods of complete darkness and/or flashing lights. Similarly, you might experience confined spaces and/or jump scares during your escape. If you have any concerns or questions, please raise these with our Gamesmasters at check-in.
