Two addresses either side of Perth Station. Here is how to reach each, and each other.
In short: Escape This Perth CBD is in The Basement at 712–720 Hay Street Mall, about five minutes from Perth Station; Escape This Northbridge is at 48 Lake Street, two minutes from a Blue CAT stop. Arrive 15 minutes early at either and allow 90 minutes per world.
The address is The Basement, 712–720 Hay Street Mall, Perth WA 6000.
Trains: Perth Station is about five minutes’ walk, Escape This says, and Perth Underground is close by. Buses: the William Street Stand 1 and 2 stops are about 70 metres away.
Cars: Wilson’s Central Park (about 350 metres) and CPP His Majesty’s (about 400 metres) are the nearest paid car parks.

Without a car, ride the Blue CAT, which is free, to its Aberdeen Street stop (number 12934); Escape This reckons the venue is a two-minute stroll from there, and a ten-minute one from Perth Station.
Drivers can use street parking or the City of Perth car park on Aberdeen Street, entered at 121 Aberdeen Street or 104 Francis Street.
Escape This’s pages describe the walk between Hay Street Mall and Lake Street as five to ten minutes, crossing the railway near Perth Station. Leave about a quarter of an hour between sessions.
Arrive 15 minutes before each session and allow 90 minutes per world. Nobody under the influence plays, at either venue.
Lake Street’s horror worlds are strictly 13+, 15+ or 18+. Under Hay Street Mall, worlds are either a 9+ guide or 13+.

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.
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.
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.
