Questions, answered
Questions about breaks
Why plan an escape room holiday in Perth?
Because Perth packs 20 different Escape This worlds into two venues about five minutes apart on foot: Calico Jack’s galleon, ancient Egypt and a Wild West gaol under Hay Street Mall, and a haunted house, Dracula’s lair and a meat locker on Lake Street, Northbridge. You can visit several worlds a day without a car.
Can I plan a holiday in Perth around escape rooms?
Yes. Escape Perth’s breaks turn Escape This’s 20 Perth worlds into one- to three-day itineraries: adventure, horror or mixed, at two, three or four to five worlds a day. The two venues, Perth CBD and Northbridge, are about five minutes apart on foot.
How long should an escape room holiday in Perth be?
Escape Perth’s itineraries run one, two or three days. One day suits locals or a stopover, a weekend suits most visitors, and three days at Marathon pace takes in most of the city’s worlds without playing any of them twice.
What’s the difference between an adventure, horror and mixed escape room break?
An adventure break uses only adventure worlds, mostly at Escape This Perth CBD under Hay Street Mall, for ages 9 or 13 and up. A horror break uses Escape This Northbridge’s horror worlds, 15+ or strictly 18+. A mixed break does adventures in the day and horror in the evening.
How many escape rooms can you do in a day in Perth?
Escape Perth’s breaks come in three paces: Taster is two worlds a day, Enthusiast is three and Marathon is four or five. Each world is 60 minutes plus 15 minutes’ arrival, so a five-world Marathon day runs from about 10 am to 8 pm with short breaks.
How do I book an escape room break in Perth?
Package prices and booking for Escape Perth’s breaks are being finalised. Until then you can follow any itinerary by booking each world on its own on escapethis.com.au, at Escape This Perth CBD and Escape This Northbridge.
Does the weather matter on an escape room break?
Hardly. Every world is indoors, in The Basement under Hay Street Mall or inside Escape This Northbridge on Lake Street, so a 40-degree day or a winter storm leaves the itinerary as it is. Only the short walks between the venues are outside.
What do we do between worlds?
Eat, drink and compare notes. Each itinerary leaves breaks for lunch and dinner between worlds. Northbridge, around Escape This Northbridge, is Perth’s best-known area for restaurants, bars and nightlife, and Hay Street Mall is in the middle of the city’s shopping streets. A guide to things to do in your downtime is on its way.
Where should we stay for an escape room break in Perth?
Anywhere in the city centre or Northbridge within an easy walk of Perth Station. Escape This Perth CBD is about five minutes from the station and Escape This Northbridge about ten, so the whole break works on foot. Named places to stay will come with Escape Perth’s downtime guide.
Can we bring the kids on an escape room break?
Yes, on an adventure break. Escape This Perth CBD has 6 worlds with a 9+ guide (Bank Heist, High Noon, Captain Nemo, The Wizard’s Chamber, Pirates and Pirate Island), and Taster pace leaves plenty of time between them. Horror breaks are 15+ or strictly 18+, and the horror half of a mixed break is in the evening, so leave those to the grown-ups.
Does an escape room break work for a birthday, hens or bucks trip?
Yes. Every Escape This booking is private, so your group never plays with strangers. For an adults-only group, a horror or mixed break can finish the night at Lake Street with its strictly 18+ worlds (Cannibal, Buried Alive and Asylum). A group too big for one world splits across two at the same start time.
