Serial killer escape rooms
Two rooms built around a killer with a routine: a butcher’s locker in Perth and Sydney, a slaughterhouse in Melbourne.
In short: The serial killer rooms are Cannibal at Escape This Northbridge and Sydney CBD and Meat Grinder at Escape This Melbourne CBD. Both are 18+ and 60 minutes long, and both cast you as the killer’s next victim.
A killer room is a cat-and-mouse game with the cat out of the room. You read his trophies, learn his habits and use them against him before he gets back.
Horrorscape’s old guide also listed The Dunny here. It now sits under thrillers, because its villain is closer to a joke than a nightmare.
