There’s a Hidden Egyptian Tomb Waiting to Be Explored in Perth CBD

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 09:28:36 GMT

Created by a Perth-born company making waves globally, it’s their biggest and most ambitious experience yet

As Western Australia’s tourism scene hits record highs - with visitors spending a massive $19.2 billion across the state in 2025 (WA Government, 2026) - Perth’s experiences are getting bigger, bolder, and more cutting-edge. Right at the centre of that shift is Lost Tomb , a new immersive escape room experience now open in the Perth CBD.

A New Kind of Escape Room in Perth

Stepping inside Lost Tomb , it quickly becomes clear this isn’t your typical escape room - and that’s entirely the point.

The experience begins at an abandoned archaeological dig site, where a sandstorm forces you underground into a hidden structure older than the Pharaohs. What follows is a full-scale expedition through a vast, interconnected environment, where the story unfolds as you move deeper inside.

At roughly three times the size of a standard escape room, Lost Tomb is now the largest escape room experience in Western Australia , setting a new benchmark for immersive entertainment in Perth.

More Than Just Puzzles

Unlike traditional escape rooms that focus on solving isolated puzzles, Lost Tomb has been designed as a cinematic, story-driven experience . It’s less about whether you’re “good at escape rooms” and more about what you’ll discover next.

Escape This has intentionally moved away from static gameplay, instead creating an experience that feels closer to stepping onto a movie set — where players explore, interact, and progress naturally through the environment.

Built in Perth, Recognised Worldwide

Lost Tomb has been designed and built locally by Escape This , Australia’s largest Australian-owned escape room company, proudly founded in Perth.

The company has already earned multiple international awards for immersive escape room design , with Lost Tomb itself carrying an impressive global legacy:

Awarded a 2024 Best of Morty Award (as The Temple), recognising it among the top escape games worldwide for immersion and player experience
Winner of the 2019 Bullseye Award for Best Overall by Escape Roomers, celebrating it as a complete immersive experience
Recognised in the 2021 TERPECA Awards , ranking among the best escape rooms globally out of over 177,000 experiences

Now reimagined, expanded, and brought to life in Perth, Lost Tomb builds on that award-winning foundation to deliver one of Australia’s most ambitious escape room experiences.

Why Immersive Experiences Are Booming

“For us, it’s never been about building a series of puzzles - it’s about giving people the chance to step into a completely different world,” says founder Bernie Janes.

“You come in with your friends, family, or colleagues and, for that hour, nothing else matters. You’re exploring, figuring things out together, getting pulled deeper into the story. And when it’s over, you walk out with something real — a shared experience.”

That shift reflects a broader trend. As Australians continue to prioritise experiences over material possessions (Mediahub, 2025), immersive activities like escape rooms are becoming a key part of how people connect, celebrate, and spend time together.

Perth’s Immersive Scene Is Leveling Up

With Lost Tomb , Perth is not just keeping up - it’s helping define what immersive entertainment looks like in Australia.

From world-class design to large-scale storytelling, this is more than just another escape room. It’s a signal of where the industry is heading - and Perth is right at the forefront.

Ready to Explore?

If you’re looking for a unique thing to do in Perth , Lost Tomb offers something genuinely different — a large-scale, story-led escape room experience unlike anything else in WA.

The tomb is open. The expedition awaits.

Asylum Wins a 2025 Best of Morty Award

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 04:10:42 GMT

Escape This Wins a 2025 Best of Morty Award , Ranking Us Not Only Among the Best Escape Rooms Australia, but Among the Best in the World

It’s time to update the trophy cabinet.

Escape This has officially secured a 2025 Best of Morty Award for our Northbridge experience, Asylum - ranking us among the best escape rooms Australia has to offer and placing us on the global stage alongside some of the world’s most exceptional immersive experiences.

With millions of experiences logged across 27 countries, competition for this award is fierce. Out of more than 50,000 immersive attractions tracked worldwide, only a select few hundred are recognised each year.

Out of 500+ escape rooms in Australia, just 19 were awarded in 2025 - with Escape This ranked among the top 358 experiences globally, reinforcing our place as one of the best escape rooms Australia players continue to rate, review, and recommend.

Asylum Sets a New Benchmark, Ranking It Among the Best Escape Rooms Perth Has to Offer

Escape This is one of only two operators from Western Australia to receive a Best of Morty Award - a milestone that firmly positions Asylum as the best escape room Perth has produced for horror and immersive entertainment fans.

Bound in handcuffs and plunged into complete darkness, Asylum pushes psychological fear and cinematic tension to its limits. It has earned a reputation as one of the scariest escape rooms Perth has to offer - not through cheap jump scares, but through atmosphere, sound design, and relentless immersion.

The award is underscored by more than 200 five-star reviews for Asylum alone, with players repeatedly describing it as one of the scariest escape rooms Perth has ever delivered.

Every element - from pitch-black environments to restrained movement and sensory deprivation - is designed to strip away comfort and control, leaving players fully immersed in the experience.

The Team Powering TOTAL IMMERSION

While the trophy sits in Northbridge, this recognition belongs to our entire team.

Our Backstage team creates the worlds, our Box Office team fills them with players, and our Front-of-House team ensures every single session delivers. It’s all part of our mission of TOTAL IMMERSION!

The same uncompromising standard extends to our Sydney CBD Asylum - with Melbourne coming soon.

If you’re searching for the best and scariest escape room Perth has to offer or exploring the best escape rooms Australia is known for, the answer is waiting in the dark

And now, it’s officially award-winning.

Each scenario is crafted with attention to detail, ensuring that from the moment Dad steps inside, he feels like he’s part of a thrilling story. It's more than just a game; it's an adventure where reality meets imagination.

Family Bonding: Create Unforgettable Memories Together

Few activities can bring a family together like an escape room challenge. The thrill of working together, the laughter that comes from unexpected moments, and the shared satisfaction of solving a puzzle make escape rooms the ultimate family bonding experience.

Size Matters: The Secret to Escaping at Escape This

Fri, 16 Aug 2024 04:00:01 GMT

Buckle up, adventure seekers! We're about to dive deep into the data from our busiest, most haunted, and downright extraordinary escape rooms to uncover the truth about group size and escape rates. (Spoiler alert: it's not just about the numbers – it's about the experience!)

Are you ready for the most immersive adventure of your life? Dare you enter the thrilling world of Escape This, Perth's market leader in mind-bending escape rooms? But wait! Before you assemble your crack team of escapologists, there's one burning question you need to answer: does size really matter when it comes to escape room success?

At Escape This, we don't just build escape rooms - we build worlds! And in these worlds, sometimes a small, nimble team can outmaneuver a larger group. But other times, you need all hands on deck to crack the code and make your great escape. Let's break it down:

Small but Mighty: Rooms Where Intimate Teams Shine

Zombie Apocalypse Northbridge

Average group size: 3 people
Success rate: A brain-eating 10%!

Asylum Northbridge

Average group size: 3 people
Success rate: A sanity-defying 17%!

Dead Man's Chest Perth CBD Hay St Mall

Average group size: 3 people
Success rate: A treasure-hunting 26%!

What makes these rooms perfect for smaller crews? Think tight spaces, linear puzzles, and the need for quick, decisive action. In "Zombie Apocalypse," every second counts – there's no time for lengthy group discussions when the undead are at your heels!

Strength in Numbers: When Bigger is Better

Bank Heist Perth CBD Hay St Mall

Average group size: 4 people
Success rate: A high-stakes 7%!

The Haunting Northbridge

Average group size: 6 people
Success rate: A bone-chilling 5%!

These rooms are designed for epic team adventures! With multiple puzzles to solve simultaneously and expansive, immersive environments to explore, more minds (and hands) can make light work of even the most fiendish challenges.

The Escape This Difference: It's Not Just About Size

Sure, the numbers are intriguing, but at Escape This, we believe that the real secret to escape room success lies in three key factors:

Teamwork: Whether you're a dynamic duo or a fearsome foursome, it's all about communication, collaboration, and playing to each other's strengths.
Immersion: Lose yourself in our meticulously crafted worlds, from the creepy corridors of the Asylum to the treasure-laden shores of Pirate Island.
Fun: At the end of the day, it's not about whether you escape – it's about the thrilling journey you take together!

Ready to Test Your Escape Artist Skills?

So, what's the perfect group size for your next Escape This adventure? The truth is, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. But here are some tips to maximize your chances of escape (and fun!):

For smaller rooms like "Zombie Apocalypse," gather a tight-knit team of 2-3 quick thinkers.
Taking on "The Haunting" or "Dracula"? Assemble a larger crew of 4-6 diverse problem-solvers.
Mix and match! Try the same room with different group sizes and see how your experience changes.

Remember, whether you're breaking out of " Bank Heist " with your bestie or unravelling the mysteries of " Wizards Chamber " with your entire D&D group, you're in for an unforgettable adventure at Escape This.

Are you ready to put your skills to the test? Do you have what it takes to beat the clock, solve the puzzles, and make your great escape? There's only one way to find out!

How to choose the best escape room... and what pitfalls to avoid!

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 02:26:02 GMT

Discover the Secrets to Choosing Top-Tier Escape Rooms for Your Next Adventure. Selecting the right escape room can make or break your experience. Learn how to identify the best ones with our expert tips.

In recent years, escape rooms have surged in popularity worldwide, leading to a boom in new escape room openings across Australia. While this boom offers more opportunities for Australian escapers, not all escape rooms are created equal, and it does increase the risk of encountering low-quality escape experiences :-( So, how can you distinguish a high-quality escape room from a low-budget disappointment? Here at Escape This , we know what makes a GREAT escape room because we build them everyday - and thousands of 5-star customer reviews attest to our quality - so here are our tips to help you choose wisely for your next escape adventure...

Helpful Booking Agents and Game Masters

The quality of customer service before your visit can be a significant indicator of an escape room operator's overall quality. If you have questions and the booking agents can't provide satisfactory answers, it may be best to look elsewhere. Knowledgeable and helpful booking agents demonstrate a company's commitment to its customers and its product.

Similarly, skilled and engaging Gamemasters are crucial for a top-notch escape room experience. They should strike the perfect balance between offering hints and letting you solve puzzles independently. A great Gamesmaster will nudge you in the right direction when you need, but do so without giving away the answers, ensuring a satisfying and challenging escape experience.

If you are weighing up more of more escape room venues or operators, it is always worth reading their Google reviews to gauge past player's satisfaction - here our Google reviews for our Perth CBD and Northbridge venues.

Captivating Themes

A compelling theme is the cornerstone of an enjoyable escape room. The best escape rooms immerse you in an alternate reality, making you feel like a part of the story. Operators who put effort into creating unique and engaging themes show they care about providing a memorable experience. If an escape room's themes seem generic or uninspired, it might be a sign to find another provider.

To gauge an operator’s creativity, check out their website and social media. If their themes don't excite you, it's likely the experience won't either. At Escape This, we offer more than 25 themes across our four locations, each falling into either Adventure or Horror categories.

Full Immersion

Entering an escape room should feel like stepping into another world. The environment should match the theme seamlessly. For instance, a pirate-themed room should transport you to the wooden hull of a galleon, not a carpeted office space. Inconsistencies in the setting, such as modern items in a historical room, suggest that the operator may have cut corners. At Escape This, we pride ourselves on delivering movie-set quality rooms built by qualified theatre and film professionals. Whether you're navigating a pirate ship or being Buried Alive , we ensure total immersion in every detail of our escape rooms.

Functional Games and Clues

The puzzles and clues in an escape room should be logical and functional. Broken or nonsensical clues are major red flags. Additionally, puzzles should be challenging but not impossibly complex. The aim is to engage your problem-solving skills, not to frustrate you with obscure riddles or require random guesses. You'll want to keep an eye out for escape room operators who clearly define the difficulty levels of their rooms.; if you can't find this on their website, it might be a sign to steer clear or risk a less than stellar escape experience! You'll find the difficulty levels of our rooms here .

Positive Reviews

Online reviews can be a quick and reliable way to assess the quality of an escape room. Platforms like Google, Facebook, and TripAdvisor provide insights from previous customers. Consistently high ratings and positive feedback indicate a well-regarded escape room experience. Escape This boasts over 2,500 five-star reviews on Google, with similarly high ratings on TripAdvisor and Facebook. Our reputation as Australia’s best-rated, most immersive escape room operator speaks for itself.

When booking your next escape room, consider these factors to ensure you choose a high-quality experience. If in doubt, you can always trust Escape This for a professional, immersive adventure. Enjoy your next escape room journey!

The urgency of the ticking clock creates an ideal environment for practicing concise communication strategies.

Encourage Teamwork

Escape rooms require participants to combine their unique skills, strengths, and perspectives.
No single person can tackle all the challenges alone.
Teams quickly learn the importance of distributing tasks, recognising each other's talents, and working cohesively toward a common goal.

Develop Problem-Solving Skills

The escape room experience is one giant, multi-layered problem that teams must deconstruct together.
Participants are prompted to think laterally, devise creative solutions, and persevere through obstacles.
These are valuable skills that translate directly to the workplace.

Build Trust and Rapport

Facing intense challenges as a unit allows teams to build a more profound sense of trust, mutual understanding, and rapport.
The shared experience of celebrating victories (or bouncing back from a loss) creates powerful bonding opportunities.

Escape Room Dos and Don'ts for First-Time Escapers

Fri, 24 May 2024 02:30:00 GMT

So, you’ve decided to dive into the world of escape rooms at Escape This - Perth’s best rated escape room! Exciting, right?

Whether you are considering playing Escape This Perth CBD or Escape This Northbridge , escape rooms are a fun and immersive way to test your puzzle-solving skills and teamwork. To help you get the most out of your first experience, here are some essential dos and don’ts to keep in mind as you prepare for your first ever escape!

The "Dos" for a Successful Escape Room Experience

Do Work as a Team (two heads are better than one!)

Teamwork makes the dream work! All of our escape rooms are designed for partners or groups, emphasising the need for collaboration. While some tasks can be completed solo, working together and bouncing ideas off each other makes the experience much easier. Sharing thoughts, ideas, and actively listening to others is the best approach to escaping the room. This makes escape rooms perfect for corporate events, and team building activities.

Do Pay Attention to the Rules (And Don't Be Afraid to Ask for Clarification!)

To play a game, you must know the rules! Once checked in an prior to your escape, our Gamemasters will provide instructions on the rules, what to expect, and how to ask for clues. Make sure you listen carefully and understand everything before you begin the game. And if the rules seem unclear, don't hesitate to raise your hand and ask some follow-up questions. You don't want to be stuck on 'GO'!

Do Stay Calm, Be Persistent

It can be daunting to be in an escape room, where you're locked in with tasks you need to complete to 'escape.' When struggling with a puzzle, take deep breaths, stay calm, and try to approach it from a new perspective—panicking won't help you solve it. Sometimes taking a step back and reassessing the situation can reveal insights you were missing before. Likewise, perseverance is your best friend! When you're stuck on a puzzle, taking a step back can really help. Try looking at it from a different angle or take a short break to clear your mind. But if you do find yourself properly stuck, don't be afraid to ask for a clue!

Do Plan Your Group Well

The last thing you want is a negative influence in the room for an hour! Bring along friends who enjoy puzzles and possess diverse strengths. Consider having a visual learner, someone adept at math or patterns, and maybe even a friend who can find someone on social media just by knowing their height and hair colour—those detective skills could come in handy! Variety in skills is the key to successfully tackling an escape room challenge.

Do Choose the Right Room for Your Group!

Selecting the right escape room for your group is essential for a fantastic experience. At Escape This, our rooms start at a difficulty rating of 6 out of 10, ensuring an engaging challenge.

Beginner Level (6/10): A great starting point is The Wizard's Chamber , or Pirates: No Pray, No Pay ! These rooms offer a nice balanced challenge. Perfect for first-timers and families!

Intermediate Level (7/10): For those with some experience, rooms such as Zombie Apocalypse , Bank Heist , Pirate Island , High Noon , The Haunting , Dead Man's Chest , The Dunny and Captain Nemo provide a fun yet challenging experience, ideal for mixed-experience groups.

Advanced Level (8-9/10): Not your first rodeo and need more complexity? Try Cannibal , The Possession , Buried Alive , Asylum and Entombed . These rooms require sharp observation and critical thinking, perfect for corporate team-building activities or date nights.

Expert Level (10/10): For a true test, rooms like Hitman and Dracula offer intricate puzzles for experienced players seeking a serious challenge. So have a think about which room would suit your group's experience!

Do Be Curious

Clues will never be above arm's reach or under the floor in an Escape This room. However, hidden clues can still be found in various places. Explore thoroughly by looking under, behind, and inside objects—hidden clues could be anywhere! Remember, things aren't always as they seem, so stay curious and keep searching!

Do Think Outside the Box

Sometimes the craziest solution is the right one, and other times, it's surprisingly simple. Always approach challenges with a mindset of thinking outside the box! Be open to wild ideas because you never know what our escape room clues are capable of revealing.

The "Don'ts" to avoid common escape room pitfalls

Don’t Hog the Clues

No one likes a clue hog. Our rooms thrive on collaboration. Dominating the room and excluding others isn't the way to go! Ensure that everyone has an opportunity to contribute and solve the puzzles. Collaboration is key to success!

Don’t Force or Break Anything

Here at Escape This , you won't find clues below the floorboards or above head height, and none of the items in the room require brute force or superhuman strength. If things are meant to open or move, they will. If something doesn't open easily, it probably isn't meant to, or it may be missing something necessary for it to open. If you encounter difficulty, it's best to ask for a clue rather than resorting to force!

Don’t Fight with Your Team

While frustration is normal, directing it at your team isn't helpful. Maintaining a positive attitude is crucial. Stay patient and supportive, as arguments won't speed up your escape. Instead, focus on collaboration—it's the path to victory. Once again, teamwork is the key! Don't attempt to solve everything alone. Share your ideas, solutions, and discoveries with the team. Remember, sharing is caring, and teamwork makes the dream work!

Don’t Waste Time

It's common to come across difficulties with a puzzle, but don't get stuck. If you feel like you've spent too much time on one, don't hesitate to ask for a clue. Remember, they're there to help you progress. Don’t Be Afraid to Split Up Sometimes, the best strategy is to divide and conquer! By splitting up tasks and embracing different perspectives, you can cover more ground and solve puzzles more efficiently..

Don’t Get Stuck on Previous Expectations

No two rooms are the same! Each presents its own unique challenges and requires different solutions and strategies. Approach each room with an open mind, and be prepared to adapt to its distinct puzzles and surprises.

Don’t Guess Lock Codes

Did you know a 3-digit lock has 1000 different possible combinations? That's just for a basic lock. Random guessing won't get you very far. Instead, focus on finding the right clues for the codes. It's about using your detective skills, not luck!

Now that you're equipped with the dos and don’ts, it’s time to put your skills to the test! Gather your team, embrace the challenges ahead, and immerse yourselves fully in the excitement of an Escape This escape room.

So, what are you waiting for? Escape This Perth CBD , the largest escape room venue in the southern hemisphere(!), offers a wide range of adventure themes for you to experience! For those who love to be spooked, Escape This Northbridge has a variety of horror themed rooms . Join over 180,000 escapees who have experienced the excitement!

The Haunting Legacy of Escape This Northbridge: A Perfect Halloween Destination

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 23:38:00 GMT

Perth has a rich tapestry of history and architecture, with stories echoing from the walls of many buildings. Few, however, carry the captivating tales and mystique of the 126-year-old Escape This Northbridge venue at 48 Lake Street.

Constructed in 1897, Atkins House, the building at 48 Lake Street in the heart of Northbridge stands as a testament to time, showcasing pre-Federation architecture from a bygone era.

Today, Atkins House is home to Escape This , Australia's premier escape rooms operator, and fittingly for reasons you soon learn, host 9 totally immersive, totally terrifying Horror themes escape rooms including fan favourites The Haunting and Cannibal .

Twelve Unfortunate Souls

As you can imagine of a building that is 126-years-old, Atkins House has quite a storied past... including a darker side. For a time it was the happy family home of Perth's illustrious Atkins family, that was until 1919 when lady of the house, Mrs Emily Mary Atkins, was found dead on the property. A year later her husband died, with the property eventually being converted to a boarding house owned by a Mrs M Long. During her time of ownership the property was the site of 11 further deaths! That's 12 recorded deaths that have taken place within walls of Escape This' Northbridge venue . Some say, paranormal investigators included (watch an investigation in full, HERE ) that these spirits still linger, eternally trapped and forever making their presence known by making things go bump in the night.

Halloween at 48 Lake Street

This Halloween , as the eerie glow of jack-o'-lanterns lights up the streets and tales of ghouls and monsters are exchanged, there's no better place to immerse oneself in a genuine atmosphere of mystery and history than Escape This' haunted escape rooms. The chilling stories of the venue are not just tales conjured up for Halloween; they are part of its very essence. For the brave souls daring enough to venture inside, an unmatched experience awaits. Whether you're booked to play The Haunting or just visiting to trick-or-treating this Halloween, perhaps you'll hear the distant footsteps of spirits long gone or feel the cold, inexplicable draft that whispers stories from another era.

Escape This, Australia's premier escape rooms operator, proudly resides in this historic building, weaving its own tales and adventures into the rich tapestry of the venue's history. The Horror-themed escape rooms are not just a test of wits and problem-solving skills, but they also offer a unique blend of thrill and history that is impossible to find elsewhere.

Unveiling the Reality: Why Real World Escape Rooms Triumph Over Virtual Reality

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 03:45:00 GMT

In the realm of escape rooms, VR has carved its own niche with VR escape rooms. But how do they stack up to our totally immersive real world escape rooms? Read on to find out!

Virtual Reality (VR) has undoubtedly revolutionized the way we experience entertainment. From immersive gaming to virtual travel, VR has opened doors to new dimensions of excitement. In the realm of escape rooms, VR has carved its own niche with VR escape rooms springing up all over the world! But while VR escape rooms promise convenience and digital immersion, they fall short in capturing the essence of the 'total immersion' that our real-world escape rooms at Escape This deliver players. Lets explore why!

Virtual Reality Escape Rooms in Perth :

Perth, a hub of innovation and creativity, naturally embraced the VR trend, ushering in a new era of escape room experiences. VR escape rooms transport participants into digital landscapes where puzzles are solved through headsets and controllers. These virtual environments simulate various scenarios, from space adventures to historical mysteries, where players collaborate to decode clues and solve challenges. The convenience of VR escape rooms lies in their accessibility, allowing players to participate from their homes without geographical constraints.

The Limitations of Virtual Immersion:

While VR escape rooms deliver a unique form of engagement, they face inherent limitations that impede the depth of the experience. The digital immersion, while impressive, lacks the tactile and sensory engagement that Escape This ' real-world escape rooms provide. The physical interaction with puzzles, locks, and hidden compartments in a real escape room creates a tangible connection that enhances the feeling of adventure . In VR escape rooms, the digital nature can oftentimes dilute the authenticity of the challenge.

The Allure of Real-World Escape Rooms:

Escape This , a pioneer in the escape room scene, offers an array of real-world escape rooms that immerse participants in captivating narratives across both family-friendly Adventure and adult only Horror themes . The tactile engagement, intricate set designs, and physical puzzles create an unparalleled sense of TOTAL IMMERSION that virtual reality cannot replicate. Here's why our Northbirdge and Hay St Mall real-world escape rooms triumph over their VR counterparts:

Tangible Adventure:

In our totally immersive real-world escape rooms, every puzzle and prop is physically present, allowing participants to manipulate and explore their surroundings. The sensation of unlocking locks, discovering hidden compartments, and piecing together clues is an experience that can't be mimicked by VR.

Immersive Environments:

Escape This creates meticulously detailed sets that transport participants into different worlds. The sights, sounds, textures and even smells of each of our rooms contribute to a fully immersive adventure, enhancing the thrill of the experience. Walking on the white sand beach of our Pirate Island escape room, feeling your sea legs in Pirates , crawling through a tunnel in Bank Heist , or smelling the eucalyptus in The Dunny ... these are real-world sensations you're just not going to get playing a VR escape room!

Collaboration and Communication:

VR escape rooms are not a team activity! On the other hand, real-world escape rooms emphasize teamwork and communication. Our players must effectively work together to decipher clues and solve puzzles. The synergy that emerges from real-time communication and problem-solving heightens the sense of accomplishment... not to mention the celebration (or commiserations) at the end of your escape experience!

Engagement with Staff:

Read any of our thousands of 5-star customer reviews and you'll get the sense that our Gamesmasters are a big part of the Escape This experience! At Escape This Perth CBD and Escape This Northbridge , your escape experience is guided by skilled and interactive gamemasters who provide hints and support... and so much more, but you'll play with us to know what we mean by that! This personalized engagement adds a layer of authenticity that enhances the overall experience. This interaction you won't find playing any VR escape room!

Virtual Reality escape rooms have introduced a novel way to experience adventure and puzzles, offering digital immersion and convenience. However, Escape This' totally immersive real-world escape rooms stand as a testament to the irreplaceable thrill of tactile engagement, immersive environments, and collaborative challenges. The physical interaction with puzzles, the thrill of discovering hidden clues, and the sense of accomplishment as locks click open make real-world escape rooms an unmatched adventure!

Escape This ' commitment to crafting authentic, immersive narratives ensures that participants don't merely solve puzzles; they become part of a story, experiencing every twist and turn firsthand. In the realm of escape rooms, reality triumphs over virtuality, delivering an experience that ignites the senses, stimulates the mind, and bonds participants in ways that no headset can replicate.

Boost your team's morale and productivity with an escape room!

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 03:22:11 GMT

Striving to build a more productive and co-operative team? An escape room is the ultimate solution to your needs! Read on to learn more about the teambuilding benefits of Escape This' Perth escape rooms.

Utilising escape rooms as a team building activity is a relatively new trend, especially here in Perth. Nonetheless, escape rooms are an increasingly popular option with companies (big and small!) due to the long-term morale and productivity benefits they can deliver.

Part puzzle, part mystery - an escape room immerses team members in a themed room and forces them to work together to solve a series of complex clues, riddles and puzzles within a limited timeframe; 60 minutes at Escape This , 45 minutes at some other Perth operators.

During their hour of ‘game play', teamwork plays a vital role in players’ inevitable success or failure at escaping their “locked room” adventure. Consequently, memorable working relationship are established between colleagues. This teamwork when paired with the other benefits of escape rooms allows companies to test out the degree of co-operation of their employees while promoting other soft skills that contribute to productivity and problem-solving techniques in individuals.

At Escape This, our Perth escape rooms have proved to work wonders for corporate teams from the likes of BHP, Rio Tinto, Deloitte, Water Corp, and even the Western Australian Government. Some of these benefits include:

SETTING COMMON GOALS

Teams have a common goal in any escape room - to escape! Throughout their 60-minute escape experience, participants must work together to complete a series of short tasks which ultimately lead to escaping the room. It is just like a project with milestones and interim targets. Each team is motivated to cooperate under the pressure of time to reach a winning conclusion, and in doing so they analyse the risks ahead of them and cooperate with one other to finish tasks before the deadline.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Companies use escape rooms as a tool to analyse employees and their potential to deal with differing solutions in an enjoyable and non-confrontational environment. Our escape rooms encourage team members to engage in on-the-spot decision making and compare their thought processes with that of their colleagues. Dealing with non-work-related problems encourages individuals to be more adventurous with their solutions and willing to adopt techniques used by others. This can have a significant long-term benefit for both the individual employee and their working team.

ENGAGEMENT & LEARNING

Research shows that people who play games and solve problems are both more inquisitive and more open to new ideas; together, this results in more adaptable, more logically minded problem-solving techniques. Here at Escape This, our Perth escape rooms force your team to switch gears and to think through problems or puzzles like never before, to don their 'creative thinking caps’ and brainstorm solutions to the clues they are presented.

So... why team build in an escape room?

This fun activity promotes teamwork and cooperation
Flexes your team's lateral thinking muscles
Allows emerging leaders to rise to the top
Allows for healthy competition amongst teams
It’s a super fun way to get your team out of the office!

UPGRADED: an all-new Dracula

bernie@escapethis.com.au (bernie janes) — Mon, 11 Jul 2022 06:07:58 GMT

An all-new hell has been unleased in our upgraded Dracula Perth escape room.

Dracula, Australia’s toughest escape room has a had a head-to-toe makeover! At our Northbridge venue right in the heart of the Perth CBD, you can live out your cult horror fantasies in the city's only Dracula themed escape room , now with a new look, new puzzles, new clues, new horrors… new everything!

Well, maybe not new everything... the battle against all things evil (including the undead!) is still at the heart of our Dracula escape room!

The recent discovery of Dacula’s tomb devoid of remains has archaeologists puzzled. Not you though! As the guardian of vampire hunter Van Helsing’s journal, you know Dracula’s presumed death was little more than supernatural trickery and that he spends every evening of his damned eternity searching for his undead bride, Victoria.

Lost to the annuls of time until now, Van Helsing’s journal hints at the secret location of the Bride of Dracula’s imprisonment – a crypt located somewhere in the graveyard of the Monastery of Brașov.

You MUST now find this secret crypt and do whatever it takes to prevent Count Dracula from being reunited with his Bride to wreak bloody revenge for their separation.

You have until the blood moon rises…

Dare you enter?

Nothing says spooky quite like Friday the 13th!

Mon, 09 May 2022 23:21:29 GMT

This Friday the 13th, taunt fate with a totally terrifying Perth escape room at Escape This!

Nothing says spooky quite like Friday the 13th — that rare date when the calendar aligns and all our superstitions and phobias come out to play. In fact, it's a day so fearsome there is an actual scientific term for the phobia of it: friggatriskaidekaphobia ! Try saying that real fast, we dare you!

Home to Perth's best-rated, totally immersive Horror themed escape rooms , we at Escape This love Friday the 13th, naturally. But why is Friday the 13th considered so scary in the first place? The answer is a complicated tangle of numerology, folklore, history, and good old superstition. But let’s take it one detail at a time.

13, the unluckiest number

Humans have always had a strange fascination with numbers and the idea that some carry occult significance and attract dark superstitions — from the “devil’s number,” 666, to the witching hour , 3am. The number 13 may be the darkest of them all, however. Maybe you’ve lived in a building with no 13th floor, or boarded a plane without a row 13?. Maybe you’ve read of people whose obsession with the number tormented them — like master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock who was born on the 13th of August.

For much of recorded history, the number 13 has been associated with Jesus and his 12 disciples at the Last Supper, which brought them all together, with Judas being received as the 13th guest (and we know how that turned out.) Likewise, the story of the Last Supper also coincides with a similar story in Norse mythology in which Loki crashed a Valhalla dinner party as the 13th guest, bringing immediate chaos and destruction with him. So we have Loki and Judas to blame for the number 13 long being considered sinister.

The fear is very real

In fact, fear of Friday the 13th is so real that one scientific name wasn't enough! Nope. The fear of Friday the 13th is scientifically called both friggatriskaidekaphobia AND paraskevidekatriaphobia!

Experts say that friggatriskaidekaphobia affects millions of people and estimate that businesses, especially airlines, suffer from severe losses on Friday the 13th. And triskaidekaphobia, or the fear of the number 13, is even more widespread. So much so that many high-rise buildings, hotels, and hospitals skip the 13th floor, and many airports do not have gates numbered 13. In many parts of the world, having 13 people at the dinner table is considered especially bad luck, bound to result in the death of one guest within 12 months!

The Day Inspired One of the Highest-Grossing Film Franchises

The billion dollar grossing Friday the 13th franchise includes 12 horror slasher films, a television series, and several books that focus on curses and superstitions - each earning a cult following, so much so that the mask worn by the key character in the movies, Jason Voorhees, is one of the most recognised objects in popular culture.

Friday the 13th at Escape This

From the halls of our haunted heritage building in Northbridge , Escape This offers Perth’s best-rated escape rooms across totally immersive Horror and family-friendly Adventure themes.

This Friday the 13th (the only one in 2022!) we are GIVING AWAY three of our awesome Perth escape room sessions for you and up to 11 friends (subject to our standard room capacity limits). Will you choose to play The Haunting , The Possession , or if the thought of Australia’s most terrifying escape rooms are too much to bear, we’re offering up a Pirate Island escape also.

For your chance to win, enter via the link below before 5.59pm AWST on Thursday 12 May!

Celebrate Employee Appreciation Day at Escape This

bernie@escapethis.com.au (bernie janes) — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 00:53:45 GMT

Show your staff how much they are appreciated with a day of Escape Room fun this Employee Appreciation Day!

Did you know that the first Friday of March is Employee Appreciation Day?! That's right, an official day set aside to celebrate the successes of your team, which in 2022 happens to fall on March 04. But how to celebrate, you ask? Book a Perth escape room team building exercise!

It's probably no surprise that we at Escape This take Employee Appreciation Day very seriously. Recognising and celebrating employees' great work - both our own team, but also all of our corporate clients' employees too - is at the core of our business!

Each year on Employee Appreciation Day, employers around the world make the extra effort to appreciate their employees’ effort and dedication. Over the past 20 years, an increasing number of companies have embraced this occasion to recognise the achievements and contributions of their employees with special events , corporate gifts (Perth escape room gift vouchers , make a great corporate gift FYI), and even surprise parties or excursions.

Now you know we love Employee Appreciation Day, but why is it important to your organisation? Read on to find out!

Most work weeks are focused on business objectives, decisions from management, or customer issues. Employee Appreciation Day, on the other hand, is one day in 365 that is dedicated just to the teams and employees that keep your busy running every single day.

Even just a little bit of recognition can make a big impact on employee motivation. Research shows that feeling appreciated increases morale, improves engagement, and reduces turnover. In particular, employee recognition has been proven to boost oxytocin levels—that’s the chemical our bodies create when we bond socially! Additionally, a study undertaken by the hospitality industry found a strong correlation between employee engagement and guest satisfaction.

It sounds like a little employee appreciation goes a long way, doesn't it? Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson certainly thinks so, going so far as to say: “ Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients. ”

How can you make your employees feel especially appreciated on this day? Escape Rooms of course!

What better way to get your team working together towards an end goal - all the while laughing and/or screaming as that oxytocin (and adrenaline!) pumps - than to have them ushered into a dark room, lock the door behind them and insist they work together to flee their totally immersive escape room!

AND, unlike traditional team building activities and corporate events , our centrally located Perth CBD escape rooms provide an adrenaline pumping hour of brain-teasing activity that your team members will actually be excited about !

As Perth’s best rated, most immersive escape rooms, you can be sure Escape This really will have your team escape reality this Employee Appreciation Day, if only for an hour or two!

So... why book your team an escape room this Employee Appreciation Day?

This fun activity promotes teamwork and cooperation
Flexes your team's lateral thinking muscles
Allows emerging leaders to rise to the top
Allows for healthy competition amongst teams
It’s a super fun way to get your team out of the office!

All that, plus a discounted corporate escape room rate for groups of 15 or more players. What are you waiting for?! Book your team an escape this Employee Appreciation Day!

The air thick with the smell of spilled rum and gunpowder, through the barred window you can see on the horizon a ship approaching, one flying the Jolly Roger.

It’s Calico Jack! No doubt on his way back to the cabin for you!

Can you escape with the pirate captain’s treasure before his ship makes shore, or are you destined to forever be a prisoner in paradise? You’ll have to don your thinking caps to find the clues and solve the puzzles if you want to escape Pirate Island! Learn more at www.escapepirateisland.com.au .

What Makes A Great Escape Room?!

bernie@escapethis.com.au (bernie janes) — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 00:47:56 GMT

Escape rooms have become extremely popular, but not all escape rooms are created equal!

Escape room games have become extremely popular around the world, and this increased popularity is driving a growing number of new escape room openings in Australia. While this means Australian escapers have more opportunity to play new escape rooms , it is also means that its easier than ever to get ripped off!

So how can you tell whether you’re about to experience a high-production escape room or a low-budget cop-out? With the line between a high-end and low-end escape room becoming so fuzzy in the blur of new openings, we want to show you the signs to keep an eye out for when booking your next escape room.

Helpful Booking Agents and Gamesmasters

If you’ve got questions prior to making a booking and you’re not happy with the answers you are getting from the escape room operator’s booking agents – run for the hills! These people should know everything there is to know about their escape rooms and promised experience; if they don’t, that just goes to show a lack of care or interest.

Likewise, great Gamesmasters are a major key to high quality escape rooms. Gamesmasters should not be making things too easy for you, but they should also not be leaving your team stranded when you need that extra push to solve a puzzle that has your team at a standstill. A good Gamesmaster will help put your team on the right path when you are straying from the objective without telling you exactly what you need to do. There is a thin line between being too helpful and not helpful enough.

Themes, Themes, Themes

Every escape game needs a theme . The most enjoyable aspect of an escape room is the feeling that you are immersing yourself in an alternate reality. Having a room theme helps you become a part of the story and act out your very own real-life movie. A high-quality escape room operator understands this and will come up with fun and intriguing themes to give you the best experience possible. If an escape room operator offers overly generic escape room themes, this is an indication you mightn’t be in for the best possible escape experience.

The easiest way to determine whether an escape room operator’s themes are up to scratch is to ask yourself whether you feel excited by the prospect of playing any of their rooms… if you’ve done your research on their website and social media and the answer is no, find another operator.

Full Immersion

You enter an escape room expecting an alternate reality, and that’s exactly what you should get! If the key to your escape is finding a pirate’s treasure chest on a deserted island , you shouldn’t find yourself walking on a carpeted floor, should you?! Likewise, a digital clock is going to be out of place in a Victorian era study… and Alice in Wonderland ’s rabbit hole shouldn’t have a crisp white ceiling with bright white LED downlights. Unfortunately, things like this happen way more often than they should, and they’re a sure-fire indication an escape room operator cut corners.

Here at Escape This , we pride ourselves on the movie set quality of our escape rooms. Playing Pirates ? You better believe you’ll be entering the wooden hull of a galleon. Buried Alive ? Yes, we really will put you in a coffin! TOTAL IMMERSION is our promise to you, and you'll find it in every single one of our escape rooms.

Functional Games and Clues

This one should be straightforward – if the clues or puzzles in your escape room don’t work or don’t make sense, this is a definite red flag. In addition, clues should not be so complex and difficult that you are forced to do complex equations or are having to randomly guess your answers. The entire functionality of an escape room is based on a sequence of clues to solve – how can you make your escape if you can’t solve the clues?

Word of Mouth

Want a quick and easy metric by which to measure the quality of an escape room?! Check their online reviews. Google, Facebook, TripAdvisor… if you’re not seeing a sea of 5-star reviews this means escapers are leaving unimpressed, and you might too! Fortunately for you, Escape This has 800+ 5-star Google reviews, and 5-star average ratings on TripAdvisor and Facebook. There’s a reason we are known as Perth’s best-rated, most immersive escape room operator!

So next time you think about purchasing tickets to an escape room, keep these factors in mind. If ever in doubt, you can always rely on Escape This to provide the most professional, most immersive experience possible.

Here's A Tip...

bernie@escapethis.com.au (bernie janes) — Tue, 23 Nov 2021 04:36:56 GMT

Let us give you a clue or two on how to improve your chances of escaping an Escape Room

Too many people forget that Escape Rooms are a game of strategy. Yes, it helps to be a great puzzle or problem solver, but take it from us, the real key to escaping the chilling grasp of T he Dark Lord or Dracula is using strategies that will get your team to work together in the smartest, most efficient manner possible.

As any experienced escaper will tell you, escape rooms can be very difficult if you aren’t aware of the best practices to successfully escape. So, let us talk you through the main strategies that will improve your chances of escaping.

Strategy #1: Communicate

This is key!! Our rooms are designed to be fully immersive and we know it’s easy to get in the zone and forget you are locked in with an entire team who is there with the same goal – escape! Why wouldn’t you work together to give you the best chance at escape?!

As they say, two brains are better than one, so use as many of them as you can. If you find a clue, make sure to communicate this with your team because it is very possible they have other pieces of the puzzle that connect to your clue. Likewise, if you find yourself stuck with a specific clue or puzzle, ask the rest of your team for help. Sometimes all you need is another set of eyes that will see things differently. Don’t hesitate to ask your friends for help.

Strategy #2: Search High and Low

In our escape rooms, almost anything goes. Hidden rooms, secret doors, concealed drawers and other clues are deceptively hidden throughout every escape room. This means that it is especially important to take a good hard look at your surroundings. There is ALWAYS more than meets the eye – turn things around, flip them over, hold them up to the light – and you might just find a pleasant (or not so pleasant depending on which of our Horror rooms you’ve got yourself locked up in) surprise. Just make sure not to take this too far! If you are trying to force something, that means you are veering off track. AND, we never hide clues beneath the floorboards or above doorframe height, so don’t go pulling at the chandelier or tearing up the Persian rug… they’re props, not clues. Duh.

Strategy #3: Use the Candles

If you find a candle in any of our escape rooms, light it up from the bottom and use it as an additional light source… you never know what clues hide in the dark corners and crevices of our rooms. This one seems quite a logical tip, but you’d be surprised how many teams forget to use the candles.

Strategy #4: Divide and Conquer

Once the countdown begins, you only have 60 minutes to escape, so effectively using what resources you have at your disposal is especially important. And what are the most valuable resources in any escape room? YOUR TEAMMATES! Team members should be spread throughout the room looking for different clues and puzzles to solve. If multiple people spend too much time in certain parts of the room, you may be missing out on other important clues. But remember, communication is key to success so talk it out!!

Strategy #5: Use Clues When You Need Them

Yes, it is an impressive feat to complete an escape room with zero clues, but doing so is very unlikely, and might even cost you your successful escape. Don’t have too much pride to ask for clues! In nearly every escape room game, your group will come to a stalemate where you do not know how to proceed. When you need that extra little hint, ask for a clue. Have your team wave at our CCTV camera and one of our eagle-eyed Gamesmaster will drop you the clue you need to hopefully help you along your way.

If you haven’t yet successful escaped one our Escape Rooms, we hope this post helps get you there. Next time you step into an escape room, keep these strategies in mind and be ready to execute. You’ve got one hour... good luck!

Festival of Spooks round-up

bernie@escapethis.com.au (bernie janes) — Tue, 02 Nov 2021 07:53:47 GMT

Perth's Spookiest Halloween event is set to return in 2022...

The spookiest time of year has come and gone, but this year’s Halloween is one all of Perth will talking about for a long time to come!

Having kicked off on the Friday before Halloween, Escape This ’ heritage listed Northbridge escape rooms centre was transformed into the freakiest ‘Haunted House’ Perth has ever seen.

Encased in spiderwebs, guarded by the skeletons of failed escapees, swarmed by vampire bats, and with more jack-o-lanterns than pumpkins in a pumpkin patch, 48 Lake Street was a spooky sight to behold over the Halloween weekend, and that’s without mention of our ghostly light show and the actual ghosts paranormal investigators, Etheral Sisters Paranormal, uncovered on the night!

Like our building and costume-loving gamesmasters, we asked Halloween escapers to ‘dress up and turn up’ at our Halloween festival of spooks and boy did our customers deliver! From ungodly nuns to sheets ghosts and characters from the Saw film franchise, we witnessed a plethora of spooks enter our escape rooms. We were so impressed in fact; we’ve put photos below for your amazement too!

A worldwide first, our Witching Hour midnight escape room sessions were a HUGE success too! Every one of our rooms – Horror and Adventure themed – ran at midnight on All Hallows’ Eve, which does, at least in part, explain why Halloween 2021 was our busiest weekend on record!

Check out our Horror themed escape rooms;

For those that joined us in celebrating Halloween 2021, thank you for your enthusiasm! To everybody else, we hope to see you in 2022 when we take Halloween to new, spookier heights!

Wracking your brain for end-of-year event ideas? Here we are!

bernie@escapethis.com.au (bernie janes) — Sun, 17 Oct 2021 23:00:02 GMT

Book an escape this festive season!

The festive season is very nearly upon us, and if our end-of-year event bookings are any indication, it’s going to be a crazy busy one at Escape This !

The holidays are all about spending time with the people closest to you – whether that’s family, friends, your sports team, or colleagues – and that usually means parties or functions! While large gatherings and mass events might still be a bit a risky post-COVID, it is more important than ever to engage in activities that keep us connected and engaged… and what better activity to do that than an escape room?!

Let’s take a look at some of the reasons that escape rooms are the perfect end-of-year get-together activity.

Escape rooms are FUN for all

Unlike traditional team building activities and corporate events (think your family-friendly Adventure World picnic, a personality workshop, Friday afternoon drinks at The Royal, or a "motivational speaker"... *yawn*), escape rooms provide an adrenaline pumping hour of brain-teasing activity that your team members will actually be excited about!

Our Escape Rooms

Escape the 9 to 5 rut

Perth’s best rated, most immersive escape rooms really will have you escape reality! For the one hour that you are locked in your room, nothing else matters. You’ve become part of a story and your sole objective is to put on your detective hat and escape the room; all other distractions in your life will have to wait. Forget that excel spreadsheet that’s been driving you crazy, or that tomorrow is bin day – you have a mission to complete! Because of this, escape rooms are a great way to refresh and reset your mind while having a great time.

Escape Rooms are a Great Bonding Experience

Nowadays, it’s increasingly difficult to fully engage with your friends, family and colleagues. Working from home, social distancing, and tech dependency have all put a screen – electronic or Perspex – between us.

Escape rooms provide the perfect environment to undo that... to fully engage with others. Upon walking into your escape room, you and your team are fully immersed in your surroundings. To achieve your objective and escape the room, you must communicate with the people in your group to find clues and solve puzzles.

What better way to get your team working together towards an end goal - all while fine-tuning their soft skills and creative thinking processes - than to have them ushered into a dark room, lock the door behind them and insist they work together to flee their... Escape Room!

All Escape This Bookings Are Private

At Escape This, all escape room games are private. It’s your room, your team, your challenge, your hour. This isn’t a COVID measure, it’s just our policy here at Escape This.

The only strangers you’re going to meet in our rooms are Dracula or our pirate captain, Calico Jack, if you’re unlucky in your escape! Otherwise, your bookings is entirely your own. And because of it, your experience is more intimate, more immersive. No need to break the ice with strangers like at other escape room centres; you and your team are good to jump into the action the second we lock the door behind you.

Unlike bowling, golfing, or even a pub Christmas party , when you book an Escape This escape room for your end-of-year event, we GUARANTEE you will be the only people in the room!

Extend your Experience with our Bar & Restaurant Partners

We know you’ll want to extend the fun of your end-of-year escape room fun, so this year we’ve partnered with some brilliant local bars and restaurants to secure you some AWESOME deals on food & beverage before or after your escape!

From free ENTRY to 10% off meals, we’ve got a range of exciting offers at venues literally on our block in Northbridge – think vibey Convenient bar, flavoursome Louder Louder, and bustling Northbridge Brewing Company.

Read all about our group food & beverage offers here .

So, what are you waiting for?! Book your end-of-year Escape This escape room NOW before we’re fully booked out!

Halloween, what's it really about?

bernie@escapethis.com.au (bernie janes) — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 02:54:39 GMT

It's not just trick-or-treating...

It’s October and you know what that means… HALLOWEEN!

Being an escape rooms centre with 5 thoroughly unnerving horror themed rooms within the walls of our haunted heritage listed building, we’re all about Halloween, obviously. But what’s this spooky tradition really all about? Let us fill you in…

Ancient Origins of Halloween

Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago, mostly in the area that is now Ireland and the UK, celebrated their new year on November 1.

This day marked the end of the summer grain harvest and the beginning of the winter, a time of year they associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before their new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future.

To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other’s fortunes.

All Saints’ Day

On May 13, 609 A.D., Pope Boniface IV dedicated the Pantheon in Rome in honour of all Christian martyrs, and the Catholic feast of All Martyrs Day was established in the Western church. Pope Gregory III later expanded the festival and moved the observance from May 13 to November 1.

By the 9th century, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands, where it gradually blended with and supplanted older Celtic rites. In 1000 A.D., the church made November 2 All Souls’ Day, a day to honour the dead.

All Souls’ Day was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels and devils. The All Saints’ Day celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints’ Day) and the night before it, the traditional night of Samhain in the Celtic religion, began to be called All-Hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween.

Halloween Goes to America

By now well established in Europe, as the beliefs and customs of different European settlers began to mesh with those of Native Indians in America in the 1700s, a distinctly American version of Halloween began to emerge. The first celebrations included “play parties,” which were public events held to celebrate the harvest. Neighbours would share stories of the dead, tell each other’s fortunes, dance and sing.

Colonial Halloween festivities also featured the telling of ghost stories and mischief-making of all kinds. By the middle of the 19th century, annual autumn festivities were common, and by second half of the 19th century, America was flooded with new immigrants, especially Irish, who helped to popularise the celebration of Halloween even more.

History of Trick-or-Treating

Borrowing from older European traditions, Americans began to dress up in costumes and go house to house asking for food or money, a practice that eventually became today’s “trick-or-treat” tradition. Young women believed that on Halloween they could divine the name or appearance of their future husband by doing tricks with yarn, apple parings or mirrors.

In the late 1800s, there was a move in America to mould Halloween into a holiday more about community and neighbourly get-togethers than about ghosts, pranks and witchcraft. At the turn of the century, Halloween parties for both children and adults became the most common way to celebrate the day. Parties focused on games, foods of the season and festive costumes.

Parents were encouraged by newspapers and community leaders to take anything “frightening” or “grotesque” out of Halloween celebrations. Because of these efforts, Halloween lost most of its superstitious and religious overtones by the beginning of the twentieth century.

Halloween on the Big Screen

Halloween movies also have a long history of being box office hits! Classic Halloween movies include the “Halloween” franchise, based on the 1978 original film directed by John Carpenter and starring Donald Pleasance, Nick Castle, Jamie Lee Curtis and Tony Moran. In “Halloween,” a young boy named Michael Myers murders his 17-year-old sister and is committed to jail, only to escape as a teen on Halloween night and seek out his old home, and a new target.

Considered a classic horror film down to its spooky soundtrack, it inspired 11 other films in the franchise and other “slasher films” like “Scream,” “Nightmare on Elm Street” and “Friday the 13.” A direct sequel to the original "Halloween" was released in 2018, starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle. More family-friendly Halloween movies include “Hocus Pocus,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Beetlejuice” and “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”

Black Cats, Ghouls and Ghosts

Halloween has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition. It began as a Celtic end-of-summer festival during which people felt especially close to deceased relatives and friends. For these friendly spirits, they set places at the dinner table, left treats on doorsteps and along the side of the road and lit candles to help loved ones find their way back to the spirit world.

Today’s Halloween ghosts are often depicted as more fearsome and malevolent, and our customs and superstitions are scarier too. We avoid crossing paths with black cats, afraid that they might bring us bad luck. This idea has its roots in the Middle Ages, when many people believed that witches avoided detection by turning themselves into black cats.

…and today?

Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31, and Halloween 2021 will occur on Sunday, October 31. Nowadays, Halloween is a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes, gobbling treats… and now, Witching Hour escape room sessions .

In our heritage-listed building in the heart of Northbridge, the site of 12 deaths since its construction in 1897 (as featured by Perth Is Ok ! ), our Hall of Horrors escape rooms including The Haunting , The Possession , Cannibal , Dracula , and Buried Alive are sure to have you hearing things go bump in th e night for days and weeks after your escape!

In the true spirit of Halloween though, our venue will be taken over with Halloween spirits – alive (live performers) and not (our resident poltergeists) - eerie fog, jack-o-lanterns and ghoulish decorations to complete the festivities and lure in unsuspecting trick-or-treaters across the entire Halloween weekend.

What are you doing this Halloween? Dare you enter the fully immersive festival of spooks that will be our venue?? Halloween escape room bookings are open now, book yours here !

Adele “Boo”, Beatrice Fanny “Doll” & Emily Mary (Mother) Atkins at 48 Lake Street Perth, now Escape This. Emily Mary was the first of 12 recorded deaths at our venue ��

Spooktober is upon us!

bernie@escapethis.com.au (bernie janes) — Fri, 01 Oct 2021 04:00:42 GMT

Halloween has never been so terrifying!

If you thought our escape rooms couldn’t get any spookier, think again! Spooktober is here and we at Escape This are going all out with immersive-as-ever Halloween experiences that will have you thoroughly unnerved.

In our heritage-listed building in the heart of Northbridge, the site of 12 deaths since its construction in 1897, our Hall of Horrors escape rooms including The Haunting , The Possession , Canniba l , Dracula and Buried Alive are sure to have you hearing things go bump in the night for days and weeks after your escape – that’s if you make it out alive in the first place! But that’s nothing new for us…

What is new though… our special Buried Alive Spooktober promotion! For the entire month of October, all Buried Alive games are $49 per head... that's $20 off‼️ No coupon needed, so grab your coffin mate (choose wisely, your survival depends on it!) and jump online to book NOW .

Then there’s our Witching Hour Sessions on All Hallows’ Eve (that’s European speak for Halloween ;-) just FYI).

According to old folklore, the witching hour or devil's hour as it’s also known is the time of night that is associated with supernatural events, whereby witches, demons and ghosts are said to appear and be at their most powerful. So we thought, why not keep our doors open a little later for Halloween and run our Horror rooms when the twelve souls trapped in our building are at their most active? Could be fun… could be terrifying… I guess we’ll find out soon enough!

These Witching Hour Sessions are LIMITED. For those brave (or crazy) enough to spend an hour at midnight in a haunted building trying to outwit Dracula and Creepy Cathy, these are the ONLY available sessions:

October 30, 2021 @ 11pm

The Haunting

Dracula

Cannibal

Buried Alive

and

October 31, 2021 @ 12:30am

The Haunting

Dracula

Cannibal

Buried Alive

If you’re keen on a Witching Hour Session, keep your eyes peeled for when booking opens! Unlike our resident ghosts, once these sessions are gone, they’re gone for good!

For those that miss out though, don’t fear! Our entire venue will be taken over with Halloween spirits including live performers, eerie fog, jack-o-lanterns and decorations to complete the festivities and lure in unsuspecting trick-or-treaters across the entire Halloween weekend.

We’re really going all out with the decorations and festivities this year and hope you do too! So, to encourage your inner spook, we’re also running a competition over the course of the weekend. Come dressed in your Halloween best, and you could win your entire team’s escape for FREE!

All you must do… grab your crew of escape artists, get them dressed in costume, rock up for your booked escape, and if our Gamemasters think yours is the best dressed, best spirited team they’ve seen on the day, your escape will be fully reimbursed.

For the kiddies and scaredy-cats among you?! Don’t fret, we’ve got all kinds of family-friendly activities planned in daylight hours across the Halloween weekend. Our Wizard and Pirate will be out in force snapping polaroid and handing out candies – both at our centre, and also roaming the streets of Northbridge and CBD every Saturday this month. Keep an eye out for them!

Escape This is THE place to be this Spooktober… Dare you enter?

Escape boredom these school holidays!

They're bored? Let us lock your kids up!

Skip the queues at the Perth Royal Show, forget Adventure World, leave Rotto for warmer weather… create your own adventure, dictate how your story ends, and bring some of the kids’ school friends along for the ride with an escape room challenge these September school holidays .

WA’s term 3 school holidays run September 25 – October 10; that’s two weeks your kids expect YOU to keep them entertained, and we all know how hard it can be to keep things exciting when you’re working, have grocery shopping to do, and juggling children of all ages.

LET US HELP, let us lock the kids up these holidays!

Book your family one of our escape room challenges these holidays and we’ll give them an experience they’ll still be bragging about at show and tell come Term 4. Plus, our escape rooms are designed so you that you can sneak in a little mid-holiday education cleverly disguised as an AMAZING FUN TIME as kids and families improve their communication, team building, and problem-solving skills. It’s holiday education without all the moaning about maths homework and “boring” reading – sounds perfect to us.

BUT DO KIDS REALLY HAVE THAT MUCH FUN AT ESCAPE THIS?

Kids absolutely do have fun in escape rooms! In fact, at Escape This , kids are often amazing at solving puzzles, completing tasks, and having full and totally uninhibited fun… sometimes their inquisitive nature even has them doing better than the adults!

Our Adventure escape rooms are a totally immersive experience full of whimsy, fun, laughter, and fast-paced problem-solving; what about that wouldn’t your kids love?!? Each game runs for 60 minutes and gives a group of people a timed experience that has them solving puzzles, riddles, finding clue and hints to figure out a way to break out of the room before the hour is up.

IS ESCAPE THIS A FUN EXPERIENCE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY?

Of course! In an escape room game situation, you will be met with a myriad of different challenges, including problem-solving, leadership, communication, and a need to find solutions fast for problems that need to be solved within a certain time frame. For families, this is an experience that can bring the members together to enjoy an experience that a simple board game cannot duplicate. Grandparents, parents, teens, and children over the age of 9 years ALL have a blast playing together at Escape This , just read our Google Reviews !

The President's Briefcase

bernie@escapethis.com.au (bernie janes) — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 03:02:54 GMT

The President's Briefcase

" Communication with Air Force One has been lost! Somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean, POTUS is flying blind with no comms in or out. But that's not half the problem... "

Are you competitive?

Do you like to battle head-to-head?

Do you thrive under pressure?

If you've answered yes to all of these questions, Escape This' latest room launch is perfect for you!

' The President's Briefcase ' is the first escape challenge of its kind in Australia: twin briefcases, 30 minutes of gameplay, both briefcases playing simultaneously... BUT which team will beat the other?

What makes this escape challenge truly unique though is that it can COME TO YOU!

That's right, we can put The President's Briefcase on the road. In your office or home, our team of Secret Service agents will arrive, briefcases in hand, to transform your venue into a fully immersive escape experience.

What's inside the Briefcase is top secret. You'll need a secure venue with a table to work at before you attempt to open the case. That's the only requirement.

As always, time is of the essence with this escape game! The difference... millions of lives rely on your problem solving, cooperation and communication skills, so bring your A game!

Want to hone your problem solving skills or find who in your team/family/party is a born leader? The President's Briefcase is perfect for that!

Did you hear too that escape rooms are exceptional for job interviews?

Put your candidates' problem-solving and teamwork potential to the test with The President's Briefcase to see who cracks and who thrives when the pressure is on!

Want to bring something unexpected to a bucks or hens night? You've found it!

If you don't want strippers but want an epic night, hire The President's Briefcase with its (fully clothed ) Secret Service agent to brighten your night. Take on a challenge with your best friends or play two teams against each other to see who truly is the smartest!

What about finding natural leaders in schools?

If you need teams or cohorts to cooperate, why not challenge them to discover the natural leaders in the group? Escape room challenges require teamwork and communication - exactly what you want of your students, right?!

Where could you deploy The President's Briefcase to encourage problem solving, teamwork and communication? We've listed a few situations below:

- Job interviews

- Corporate events

- Team building activities

- Cross-department conflict resolution

- Student leadership workshops

- Teacher development

- Bucks and Hens nights

- Family games nights

... the possibilities are endless.

So will you be inviting a Secret Service agent to your workplace, school, party or home?

T-minus 30 minutes...

Buried Alive is LIVE!

bernie@escapethis.com.au (bernie janes) — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 02:07:04 GMT

Could you escape being Buried Alive?!

ESCAPE THIS HAS JUST LAUNCHED AUSTRALIA'S MOST EXTREME ESCAPE ROOM!

Our Northbridge venue is now even more packed to the brim with terrifying, thrilling, and gory escape rooms . Though we must say, Buried Alive tops the charts!

At Escape This , we aim to create fully immersive escape room challenges unlike anything else anywhere in Perth (or Australia oftentimes), which is why we're home to the hardest escape room in Australia, ' Dracula ,' with a 1% escape rate, and also the most terrifying room, 'The Haunting', which promises to have even the bravest escapers jumping in fright. Now, Buried Alive , built for just two escapers at a time, pushes players to their emotional, physical and mental limits - all while locked in a coffin!

Want to take on the challenge of being buried alive? This scenery deprivation experience will challenge players like never before. You'll have to be physically and mental prepared for this escape room! Bernie Janes, co-owner of Escape This, said:

"We all need to take the escape room to the next level, which obviously involves blinding folding, handcuffing and locking people in a box!"

Escape rooms are known to test a player's problem solving skills and communication abilities, bu Buried Alive takes this to a whole other level. Players are left to find solo clues, and communicate what they find with their teammate to solve partner challenges... but from separate coffins! They have to work their brains and test their skills alone, without influence.

Oh, and did we mention you're deprived of all senses except touch?!

Yes that's right! This escape room strips everything from players except for touch. Janes says; "its time to take control of scenes", and have the MOST immersive experience for the most extreme game! Guests are blind folded entering the room, and once in the coffin are blind in darkness. Sight, sound, taste and scent won't help you here. You'll need to rely on touch and what you find in your coffin to piece together the puzzle.

Buried Alive is a one-of-a-kind escape, and is only for the brave hearted! You'll want to bring your best team-mate and be ready for the hardest hour of your life - because you'll literally be fighting for it.

BUT, should being buried alive prove too much for you, we have fitted your coffin with a safety button which ends your escape then and there... in cowardice!

Why team building?

bernie@escapethis.com.au (bernie janes) — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 07:25:31 GMT

Why team building?

Unlike traditional team building activities and corporate events (think your family-friendly Sunday picnic, a personality workshop, Friday afternoon drinks, or a "motivational speaker"... *yawn*), escape rooms provide an adrenaline pumping hour of brain-teasing activity that your team members will actually be excited about!

Best of all, however, escape rooms promote a whole range of soft skills that can be directly applied in the workplace come Monday morning! For Perth-based organisations of four to to 400+ staff, our escape room sessions are designed to bring out the very best in your team.

But how does an escape room setting work for team building? It's quite simple really.

Choose a location, our site or yours. Book your team building event for 4 to 400+ staff at our Northbridge escape centre, or we can come to you with The President's Briefcase and transform your space (warehouse, boardroom, office or retail space) into an escape room experience.
We'll lock away your team. In teams of between 2 and 10 people depending on the chosen escapes, we'll provide your team an introduction to the escape room process before we close the door on them and turn the key... and being able to run multiple sessions simultaneously, we can have up to 100 of your staff locked away per hour.
They work as a team to escape. As soon as the countdown begins, your team will need to employ their teamwork, problem solving, time management and communication skills to find the clues & solve the puzzles that will allow their escape.

Escape rooms by their very nature force the escapers to apply their soft skills in a team setting to creatively solve the challenges presented to them if they’re to escape. But what are those soft skills, and how could they be relevant to your organisation?

Time Management.
Our escape rooms excel at putting your team under time pressure. This is when personalities are the most visible, and most vulnerable. You will witness time management skills either emerge or evaporate. You will learn more about your team in the last 5 minutes of our escape rooms than you could in any conventional

5-hour team building exercise.

Teamwork.

Solving the challenges of an escape room requires impeccable teamwork. Good or bad, you’ll find out which of your colleagues are lone wolves, and which are part of the pack. Can they remain calm under pressure, or will they show signs of stress? Will they realise everyone has different strengths that add to the overall success of the team?

Problem Solving & Critical Thinking.
Overcoming complex hurdles with well honed problem solving skills is a key challenge in the workplace, just as it is an escape room! Our rooms force your team to switch gears and to think through problems or puzzles like never before, to don their 'creative thinking caps’ and brainstorm solutions to the clues they are presented.

Communication.
Teams play out a fully immersive themed scenario in which they must communicate over a variety of distractions: the chaos of the unknown, and a time crunch. “Active communication” will test the boundaries of each player's personality. You’ll learn which of your team are wall flowers, and which jump in and exhibit winning team skills to get the job done within the time limit.

Leadership & Delegation.
Our escape rooms will draw out your colleagues' natural abilities to plan, delegate, motivate and execute. Who will take the lead to direct the group or assign tasks? Watch as teammates automatically fall into their natural roles and perform according to their natural strengths to beat the clock and win the day!

Logical Reasoning.
Not everyone can logic their way through a problem – much less in a busy, distracting group environment. Regardless of the difficulty of the escape room, our puzzles are a particularly good way to hone logical-reasoning skills. Best of all, your team will be forced to adopt a collaborative approach to structural thinking!

So... why team build in an escape room?

This fun activity promotes teamwork and cooperation
Flexes your team's lateral thinking muscles
Allows emerging leaders to rise to the top
Allows for healthy competition amongst teams
It’s a super fun way to get your team out of the office!

Are you an Escape Room Beginner?

bernie@escapethis.com.au (bernie janes) — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 02:34:21 GMT

Are you an Escape Room Beginner?

If so, let me offer you some guidance...

Escape rooms are one big puzzle, find your first clue and you're on your way!

So what should you expect when locked in an Escape Room?

Escape rooms have existed for more than a decade, each offering a fun and unique physical puzzle which guests have to piece together to resolve one objective. Every escape room has a set objective, i.e. 'defeat the Dark Lord' or 'rob the bank', and these reflect the theme of the room, with each clue linked to the next to form an adrenaline-pumping narrative.

Escape room themes will vary from company, to venue, to country. Each will have a unique narrative which plays out throughout the course of the room. The escape room will have multiple stages before you reach the final objective - escape! Typically at the start of the game you'll hear what your objective is, and from there you can problem solve your way out.

The puzzles within the room must be unlocked in succession. Once you've unlocked one there may be a new clue hidden inside. Check carefully and don't leave anything behind! Now, follow your clues carefully because your next puzzle may be linked to the previous ones. You are the main character in the escape room, so take charge and work as a team. It's rare in escape rooms that you'll be left alone, they require team work and different perspectives to solve the clues.

Below is a list of handy tips to ensure your escape room experience is one you'll love.

Escape rooms will offer you a set of clues, if you can't quite decipher your clue(s), you can signal that you need a hint from the Gamemasters to get the ball rolling once again. At Escape This, we ask every member of the group to stand waving at the camera to draw our Gamemaster's attention, but each venue is different so listen and ask before you're left to fend for yourself.

Each room will have hidden features so keep your eyes peeled and touch EVERYTHING. Some escape rooms will have hidden rooms, secret compartments and jump scares. So be prepared for the small room you start in to expand and link to the next. Anything that seems out of place may be there for a reason.

Escape rooms are designed to be an experience - an escape from reality for an hour or so. Leave your worries, stresses and problems at the door and go into the space open-minded. Before you know it, you'll have escaped (or not, maybe), and will be signing up for your next escape!

Should you fail in your escape, you can of course repeat the room until you do manage to get free. The beauty of escape rooms is, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again". There is no shame in giving it another go. Heck, at 'Escape This' the same group will come back multiple times just to say they've finally beaten a room. And when you do escape, be sure to keep track of your score time, because its always fun to beat yourself and make it into the escape room leader board.

Now, as promised a list of what you'll need to look for. Remember you are the biggest asset you can bring to the game. So be careful and patient.

What to look for in an Escape Room:

Find the locks.
One easy tactic is to find the locks before you search for clues. Once you know what you are looking for, the clue may jump out at you. If you see you need to find three numbers for a number combination lock, look around for three numbers. If you're looking for a key, search where a key may be hidden. Look carefully, because what you need is there somewhere.

Enter a theme you'll enjoy.

There is no point doing a horror room if you can't think or concentrate when your nerves are on a knife's edge. But if you work best under pressure, look at the difficulty ratings and find a room which fits you're skills. You don't know what your skills are? It's always best to start easy and work up from there. You can never be too good at escape rooms.

Communication is the key.

Have a good team around you. Once you step into the room you need to work together and communicate what you find. You'll naturally fall in to your strengths within the group, so work with people you trust and have a bit of fun. Escape rooms are fantastic for team building. Once you're locked in a room together with the same objective, all rivalries fall way as you work together to escape.

Touch everything (carefully).

In an escape room you never know where the clues are hidden. So touch everything, if it moves inspect it to see if it has a hidden meaning. Some clues are left in pain sight and are easily overlooked, so take care and be thorough. Before you enter the room the games master will tell you what you shouldn't touch and what doesn't move. So listen carefully and don't mess around, they'll be watching.

Don't break anything!

Each room is hand designed and a lot of care and repair goes into the maintenance of each prop, set and puzzle. If it doesn't easily open it isn't meant to move. Don't break or shove anything just in the hope of the next clue. You're mostly like missing a piece of the puzzle, so look around and use your brain not your muscles. Be patient and careful. Everything has a reason.

You have everything you need.

Everything you need to escape the room will be within the four walls of your escape room. There is nothing additional you need to bring or add. You don't need any prior knowledge to complete an escape room, everything will be there. Check the room and props carefully to find whatever you're missing.

Don't give up.

You can ask for clues, so don't give up hope. One clue may change the whole game. Remember when you're stuck, ask for help. Ask your Gamesmaster before you start what the signal is for a hint, there will always be a movement, or word. Few escape a room without a little guidance.

Have fun.

Escape rooms are big physical puzzles. You need to have a bit of fun and laugh at anything that goes wrong. Although the pressure keeps you accountable, you'll find a way to ignore the time and work together. Celebrate every clue and puzzle you complete and soon enough you'll be out and free again.

So there you go, you're now ready for the challenge. Go in open-minded and keep your eyes peeled. You are your greatest assist so don't doubt yourself.
