Prove yourselves worthy to advance from Novice to Acolyte of the De Cryptic Order.
A fun adventure based escape room with a good old train robbery.
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.
******Encryptomania was fantastic! We found the Platform 4267 room an engaging and challenging experience. The room is extremely well thought out and decorated and the hosts are friendly and extremely helpful throughout the experience. Thank you so much for having us. We will be back to do the other room sometime! Tim, Google, 23rd September 2024.

** Went and did both of their rooms as a team of 2. The staff were great. However, the rooms were extremely challenging with not many teams fully completing them under the strict 60 minute time restriction... Morgan, Google, 6th September 2024.

***** My daughter had an absolute blast with her friends at Encrytomania for her 15th birthday. For my part the communication and arrangements were very professional and accommodating. I also think it’s very good value entertainment for 5 teenagers. Highly recommend this business and I hope they enjoy every success. Tania, Facebook, 16th June 2024
