Supernatural escape rooms

Ghosts, a poltergeist with a doll collection and a vampire who refused to stay staked. These rooms ask you to believe in something for an hour.

In short: Escape This has four supernatural horror rooms: The Haunting and The Possession (Cathy’s house), plus Dracula and Van Helsing (the vampire and his hunter). They play in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne.

Supernatural rooms trade on dread more than gore. The puzzles are wrapped in a presence you never quite see: a child’s rhyme, a cold room, an empty tomb. Two of them share a house and a ghost; the other two share a monster.

If you want the supernatural with the lowest odds, Northbridge’s Possession sits at 35%; for something gentler, Van Helsing takes players from 13.

What separates a supernatural escape room from a haunted house one?

On Horrorscape, haunted house means a single building with a ghost in it: The Haunting and The Possession at Escape This. Supernatural is the wider shelf for anything beyond the living, so it adds the vampire rooms, Dracula and Van Helsing, to the two haunted houses.
