Gold Coast

Zodiac Killer

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

The Flaming Pearl

Eclipse Escape (Gold Coast, Australia) Time limit: 60 minutes (formerly 75 minutes) Age limit: None Player limit: 2-12 (would no recommend more than 6) Difficulty: Medium or Hard Awards: TERPECA Nominee (2024) Date visited: September 2025 Much to our disappointment, weren’t able to play The Flaming Pearl at Eclipse last year we were on the Gold Coast because its release was delayed. We had heard many good things about the room since then, and were very eager to play this Ch

Retro Revenge

Eclipse Escape (Gold Coast, Australia) Time limit: 60 minutes Age limit: None (but there are horror elements) Player limit: 2-9 (would not recommend more than 6) Difficulty: Medium to Advanced Awards: TERPECA Nominee (2024) Date visited: September 2025 I still remember when we first visited Eclipse over a year ago, the reason we avoided playing Retro Revenge — despite it looking like a really cool room — was because we were terrified of the concept of having a live actor in

Mad Monster

Lost Locks (Gold Coast, Australia) Time limit: 60 minutes Age limit: None Player limit: 2-8 Difficulty: Medium Awards: TERPECA Nominee (2024) Date visited: September 2025 Gripped with a sense of FOMO, I decided to book in a room at Lost Locks towards the end of my planning for our Brisbane/Gold Coast trip. I had heard good things about a couple of the rooms at this venue and wanted to see for myself. So was it worth it? The first thing to note is that Mad Monster is a singl

The Other Side

Fox in a Box (Gold Coast, Australia) Time limit: 60 minutes Age limit: None Player limit: 2-8 Difficulty: 4/5 Date visited: September 2025 Right after playing our very first escape room at Eclipse in July 2024, we asked our GM which other rooms she recommended, and she said one of her favourites was The Other Side at Fox in a Box. It’s taken us more than 14 months, but we finally got to play The Other Side on our Brisbane/Gold Coast trip in September 2025. My thoughts are a

The Abandoned Carnival

Padlock'd (Gold Coast, Australia) Time limit: 60 minutes Age limit: None Player limit: 2-8 Difficulty: 4/5 Date visited: September 2025 This was the fourth game of our September Queensland trip and first on the Gold Coast, as well as our first at Padlock’d. We had heard that Padlock’d was pivoting towards purchased, ready-made games from escape game sellers such as Indestroom, so we initially did not plan on playing this room. But we then found out that this was one of their
