Does this hold any secrets?
Our group of 6 visited
Mystic Clue Room Escape and tested our strengths and revealed our weaknesses in the Prison Room. The staff are very helpful and introduce the concept of the game thoroughly before we started and provide guidance when you need, before locking all of us up and leaving our faith in our own hands.
It felt great to go to prison!
The clues test your thinking and the solutions are right in front of you, but are hidden in ways that require you to think outside the square. There are steps to follow and the aim of the game is to work out the answers to each of these steps as fast as possible to work towards your escape.
Handcuffs definitely add to the experience
When the solutions are reached, it is extremely gratifying and you definitely feel smug with your own efforts and achievements. You will feel frustration, you will feel defeat, but above all, you will also feel triumph.
Handcuffed then blindfolded - can it get any more intense?
Once you unlock your own freedom, you are told the amount of time taken before having your photograph taken and uploaded to their Facebook page almost instantaneously. The photographs are then printed and placed on the wall of fame in the public waiting room for all to see your achievements.
The ones who found their freedom!
This room is stocked with couches, board games and other playful mini games to keep you entertained while waiting for the game to start. Judging by the amount of photographs being uploaded, the people of Perth are sure loving the novelty that Mystic Clue Room Escape provides!
Keep entertained with games before the game
The duration of the game depends entirely on how switched-on the 'detainees' are, with the average escape time being around
60 to 90 minutes per game. There are 3 rooms available to choose from, which change every 3-4 months to give you a chance to return regularly to satisfy your urges to be a detective.
Time is your friend, but also your enemy
The room designs and themes are created and continually updated based on collection of customer feedback, and include lots of interesting equipment, gadgets and hidden facilities to use and interact with. To add to the experience, you will be immersed in a game that involves technological and physical mechanisms, amongst interesting architecture in a deceptively simple environment.

The prices charged are per person and well worth it for the fun and unique experience involved. The current rooms on offer cater for different sized groups and include the following:
221B ($20 per person)
This is a smaller sized room ideal for smaller groups of
2-6 players. This classic room-escape game is designed for beginners to familiarise themselves with the game play, with puzzles structured logically yet requires the most 'brain work' from players.
Prison Room ($25 per person)
Taking place in an actual prison set-up, this room is best suited for
6 to 14 players. More experienced players are prisoners who not only have the goal of escaping but also engage in a game of trust amongst the group. Teamwork is tested in this more challenging but fun room.
Inception ($30 per person)
For groups of
4 to 16 people, Inception is a very suitable room choice. Similar to how the movie twisted and played with our minds, the Inception Room does a similar thing with emphasis on physical action, teamwork and logical, practical thinking.
The fun owl-themed location
Bookings are required in advance and players are advised to arrive 10 minutes prior to their booking time. Bookings can be made via their online

221B (2-6 players) – $20 per person
