What Gold Coast players say
★★★★★
Love the concept but one thing I like about escape rooms is actually having to touch and open things but overall it was nice to go around downtown with my wife.!
★★★★★
It was an awesome way to explore the city and seeing cool stuff and doing lots of fun clues. It was one of the most extraordinarily adventures I have ever had.
★★★★★
Amazing scenery and awesome history. Was able to talk to local shopowners and explore parts of our city we never knew about, while being entertained
Gather your party
Who's playing tonight?
One pass unlocks the whole group’s phones: the Duo covers 2, the Fellowship 5. From $10.20 per person, with no booking and no set time.
Two phones, two versions of the truth. Argue about the prime suspect over drinks afterwards.
A team of detectives, one accusation, live rankings. Cheaper than the escape room you couldn’t get a slot for, and the kids usually crack the puzzles faster than the adults.
