Scram Escape Rooms - Penrith (Sydney, Australia) Time limit: 60 minutes Age limit: None (best suited to 13+) Player limit: 2-8 per team Difficulty: Hard Scare Factor: 3/5 Date visited: October 2025 Plagued  is one of Scram’s new rooms and one of the main reasons we decided to make the drive to Penrith. We had never played a Black Death room before and were curious to see how such an experience would be designed and executed. Here are my thoughts: This was a great room, not v

Scram Escape Rooms - Penrith (Sydney, Australia) Time limit: 60 minutes Age limit: None Player limit: 2-4 per team Difficulty: Variable Date visited: October 2025 Prison Island is listed as an escape room on platforms such as Morty because it has puzzles to solve, but it is definitely not your traditional escape room. The “prison” has 30 cells, each containing a different game. Think of it as 30 mini escape rooms. You get a card, which you swipe to unlock the cell. If it is

As the room only opened a week or two ago, we did feel a little like play testers, but we were riding high and ready to

Scarborough Fair Escape Rooms (Sydney, Australia) Time limit: 60 minutes Age limit: None Player limit: 2-6 Difficulty: 4.5/5 Date visited: October 2025 Yippy-ki-yay, new record holders! I first visited Scarborough Fair not long after they had opened, playing The Curse of Davy Jones with the kids and their cousins. It was a solid room with good and challenging puzzles, but we felt some tweaks had to be made in order for their games to live up to their full potential — not un

Fox in a Box (Gold Coast, Australia) Time limit: 60 minutes Age limit: None Player limit: 2-6 Difficulty: Hard Date visited: September 2025 Our final game on the Gold Coast was a last-minute addition (escape room addicts doing what escape room addicts do). I’ve always had a fascination with the Zodiac Killer, and this was one of their other rooms that got decent reviews, so we ended up choosing it over Wild West Saloon , which is apparently on the easier side. Here are my tho
