Escape Rooms and Bookings

Many people ask us – what is an escape room?  In short: They are multi player puzzle based social games. Each room has a unique objective and a story line to immerse yourself in. 

  Will you be in Little River or visiting Banks Peninsula? Are you looking for an excuse to go for a drive or wanting something to do with your teenagers? Book a slot and check us out.  See our FAQs for day trip ideas.

We recommend planning for a post escape room cup of tea or coffee at a Little River outlet. There’s usually plenty to talk about afterwards. 

Our second room will be opened for bookings in the coming months. Keep an eye on our facebook page, or our blog for updates.
