Questions, answered

Room questions

How many horror escape rooms does Escape This run?

Escape This runs 19 horror rooms as of 25 October 2026, counting every room at every venue. They are built on 10 different horror themes, several of which play in more than one city. The count comes straight from the Horror tag in Escape This’s room catalog. Horrorscape also lists The Dunny, but as a spooky thriller, not a horror room.

Which horror room suits a group that has never played an escape room?

Look for a lower difficulty rating and a higher escape rate. Escape This rates The Haunting, Dracula, Zombie Apocalypse and Frankenstein Resurrection 7 out of 10, below the 8s. By the numbers, the most-escaped ranked horror rooms are The Haunting in Northbridge (51%), Frankenstein Resurrection in Sydney CBD (80%), Possession in Melbourne CBD (91%).

Which horror rooms can just two people play?

Most of them. In Escape This’s booking system, every horror room takes a pair except The Haunting (from 4), Dracula (from 4) and Frankenstein Resurrection (from 3). Buried Alive is two players exactly. Watch for Saturday four-player minimums on rooms like The Possession and Meat Grinder.

What are the minimum ages for the Escape This horror rooms?

18+: Meat Grinder, Cannibal, Buried Alive and Asylum. 15+: The Possession, The Haunting, Dracula and Zombie Apocalypse. 13+: Van Helsing and Frankenstein Resurrection. These are strict limits in Escape This’s booking system. The Dunny, a spooky thriller, is 13+ at Perth CBD and 9+ at Manly.

Do Escape This staff check ID for the 18+ horror rooms?

They can. Escape This reserves the right to ask for ID from anyone who looks under the limit, and its 15+ and 18+ horror rooms don’t admit younger children as spectators either. Bring photo ID if you could pass for younger.

How does Escape This rate the difficulty of each horror room?

Out of 10, Escape This rates Cannibal, Buried Alive, The Possession, Asylum and Meat Grinder at 8; Van Helsing at 7.5; and The Haunting, Dracula, Zombie Apocalypse and Frankenstein Resurrection at 7. Those are design ratings; the escape rates on Horrorscape show how teams actually fare.

What is the cheapest horror escape room to book?

Frankenstein Resurrection at Northbridge, from $49 per player in Escape This’s booking system as of 25 October 2026. Most other horror rooms start at $49 in Northbridge and $55 in Sydney and Melbourne; Buried Alive starts at $59.

How do you book an Escape This horror room?

Use the live booking grid on any Horrorscape city or room page; it shows real availability and confirms straight away through Escape This’s ticketing partner, Fever. You can also call the venue. Every booking is private to your group.

What if someone panics halfway through a horror room?

They can leave. Escape This fits its horror rooms with panic buttons for exiting early and watches every game on CCTV, so staff know when someone is struggling. Nobody will be allowed to play while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
