In short: Everything about planning an escape room holiday in Perth: how long to come for and how many worlds a day, life between worlds, choosing among 20 worlds at Hay Street Mall and Lake Street, getting around, booking, and each world one by one.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Go by mood and age. Escape This Perth CBD, under Hay Street Mall, is 12 adventures, mostly open to ages 9 or 13 and up. Escape This Northbridge is 8 horror worlds with strict 13+, 15+ or 18+ limits, plus Pirate Island.
Yes. Escape This Perth CBD and Escape This Northbridge are a short walk apart, either side of the railway at Perth Station; Escape This’s pages put it at five to ten minutes. Book the two sessions separately and leave about a quarter of an hour between them.
Hay Street Mall. 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). At Escape This Northbridge, Pirate Island is the only world a child under 13 can play.
Escape This puts Escape This Perth CBD about five minutes’ walk from Perth Station, and Perth Underground is also close. By bus, it says the William Street Stand 1 and Stand 2 stops are about 70 metres from the door.
In paid city car parks. Escape This names Wilson’s Central Park, about 350 metres away, and CPP His Majesty’s, about 400 metres, as the nearest to Escape This Perth CBD; there is no venue parking in the mall itself.
The free Blue CAT bus: Escape This says its Aberdeen Street stop, number 12934, is about two minutes from Escape This Northbridge. Perth Station and Perth Underground are about ten minutes’ walk, by Escape This’s reckoning (one page says six).
On the street nearby, or in the City of Perth car park on Aberdeen Street (entrances at 121 Aberdeen Street and 104 Francis Street), which Escape This says is less than 100 metres from Escape This Northbridge.
Fifteen minutes before the session at either venue, for check-in and the briefing, with about fifteen minutes afterwards. A one-hour Escape This world in Perth takes roughly 90 minutes door to door.
Under Hay Street Mall, the world sites list Lost Tomb, Entombed, Bank Heist, High Noon, The Dunny, Captain Nemo, The Wizard’s Chamber and Pirate Island at one per session; Pirates and Hotel: Murder Mystery can’t. At Escape This Northbridge, Cannibal’s listing is the only one that says yes. Call ahead.
Its address is The Basement, 712–720 Hay Street Mall, and Escape This describes descending into the venue from the pedestrian mall. Look for the Escape This entrance on the mall itself rather than a shopfront at street level.
Escape Perth is about the breaks: themed one- to three-day itineraries across both Perth venues. Package prices and booking are being finalised; until then, book each world of an itinerary on escapethis.com.au, where every Escape This world in Perth lists its live sessions and prices.
No. Each world session is its own booking, and Escape This Perth CBD and Escape This Northbridge keep separate calendars. Both answer the same phone number, (08) 6118 0286, which helps when you are planning a night across the two.
No. Every Escape This booking in Perth belongs to one group, at either venue. A bigger group takes two worlds at the same start time rather than sharing with strangers.
Up to 88 at Escape This Perth CBD and 62 at Escape This Northbridge if every world runs full, 150 in all. Team Escapes, Escape This’s group arm, plans events of that size.
Yes. Escape This says its gift vouchers can be redeemed at any of its venues for any experience, so one voucher covers Hay Street Mall, Lake Street or a trip interstate.
It helps. Lost Tomb is Entombed’s sequel and both are under Hay Street Mall, so one visit can take in both. Entombed sets up the story; Lost Tomb takes it deeper into the desert.
Two, at Escape This Perth CBD: Entombed’s crawl space can be skipped, and in High Noon players who can’t crawl start in a cell that avoids it, according to the worlds’ own sites. At Lake Street, The Haunting, Buried Alive and Asylum involve crawling or lying down.
Not by Escape This’s booking system, which lists The Dunny at Escape This Perth CBD as strictly 13+. The Manly copy has a 9+ guide, so families with younger children should look at Pirates, Pirate Island or The Wizard’s Chamber in Perth instead.
Only under Hay Street Mall. Escape This Manly retired its Hitman world early in 2026, which leaves Escape This Perth CBD as the one place it runs: 2–8 players, strictly 13+.
Lost Tomb, Captain Nemo, The Haunting and Dracula. Frankenstein Resurrection needs three. Several other Escape This worlds in Perth also ask for four on Saturdays, according to their own sites.
Pirates first: it is chapter one of the Calico Jack story and plays under Hay Street Mall. Pirate Island, the sequel, can be booked at Escape This Perth CBD or Escape This Northbridge. A third chapter, Dead Man’s Chest, ran in Perth during 2024 and has closed.
For nine or ten players, Lake Street: Escape This Northbridge takes up to 10. For a wheelchair user, Hay Street Mall, whose copy takes one per session.
A short game for exactly two players: 45 minutes, strictly 13+, under Hay Street Mall. Escape This’s booking page names it Sherlock Holmes: Telephone.
Hotel: Murder Mystery, under Hay Street Mall. Players are framed for a killing in a 1920s Paris hotel and must name the culprit. It takes 2–6 players with a 13+ guide at Escape This Perth CBD.
Cannibal, Buried Alive and Asylum, all at Escape This Northbridge on Lake Street. Nothing under Hay Street Mall goes above a 13+ limit, so a mixed-age group can split between the venues.
One: The Haunting at Escape This Northbridge takes up to 12, all aged 15 or over. Dracula and the Lake Street Pirate Island take ten. Larger groups split across worlds at the same start time.
No. In Perth, The Possession runs only at Escape This Northbridge, a few doors from The Haunting, which it follows. Escape This also runs copies in Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD.
The Haunting, Dracula, The Possession and Zombie Apocalypse, each strictly 15+ at Escape This Northbridge, plus Frankenstein Resurrection at 13+. Cannibal, Buried Alive and Asylum are 18+ only.
Frankenstein Resurrection at Escape This Northbridge, strictly 13+ and the only horror world in Perth below 15.
21 bookable listings as of 24 October 2026: 12 at Escape This Perth CBD under Hay Street Mall and 9 at Escape This Northbridge on Lake Street. Pirate Island runs at both, so that is 20 different worlds.
Escape This, a Perth company. Escape This is Australia’s largest escape room operator, and runs its own escape room design studio and escape room factory in Australia. Its head office and factory are in Bayswater, and its two Perth venues are in the CBD and Northbridge.
Yes, several. Under Hay Street Mall, Escape This Perth CBD earned a 2025 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice award, its Entombed won Best of Morty 2024 and Hotel: Murder Mystery won a 2026 Immersive Experience Award. Up in Northbridge, Asylum won Best of Morty 2025. The company itself was APAC Insider’s Escape Room Operator of the Year for 2025 and 2026.

On escapenorthbridge.com.au, a site about Escape This Northbridge alone: the Lake Street building, its worlds one by one, age rules, access and records. Escape Perth gives both Perth venues equal space instead.
