Escape This

One of Perth’s most popular escape room spots, Escape This, has recently expanded from their Northbridge home base to include a brand new location right in the middle of the city! They’ve got a huge range of room themes on offer, including “Adventure” options such as a couple of Pirate-themed options, along with some seriously spooky Horror-themed rooms like Cannibal, Dracula and Buried Alive. In terms of quality of puzzles, theming and even actors, it’s hard to go past Escape This.

The Escape Hunt Experience

If you’re planning a little night out on the town in Freo why not warm up with one of Escape Hunt‘s themed rooms? You’ve got themes like Alice In Puzzleland, Aladdin And The Magic Vault and Wild Western Jailbreak, plus a couple of outdoor games. The outdoor games, Operation Mindfall and Magic Fall, require you to pick up an iPad and action pack from Escape Hunt and embark on a 2km walk with augmented reality and more!

Time’s Up

Time’s Up have rooms in Perth and Bunbury, both home to some challenging rooms. Their website even has a running tally, and with almost 28,5000 escapees they escape rate is only at 47% – which sounds like a challenge to us. Try to capture a serial killer or head to some temple ruins, the wild west or medieval times across the different themes. All rooms go for an hour and will set you back $36pp.

Mystic Clue in Rivervale is Perth’s OG escape room group, and as such know the importance of great storytelling along with set design and of course, mind-bending puzzles. They’ve got three rooms to choose from – Magician’s Code, The Vault and Flight 279 (we’ll let you figure out the themes), ranging from beginner to expert.

Strike Bowling

There’s plenty on offer at most Strike Bowling options around Perth (including things like mini golf and karaoke), and they’re very well known for a fun and challenging escape room. And while many rooms have pretty similar themes along this list, Strike mix things up a little with the Casion Heist, Forensic and The Garden.
