"My brain hurts, can we just call for help now?" was a phrase that was repeated many times in the hour that a group of us were locked up inside a room without a key to get out.
What sort of crazy hostage situation were we in, you might ask?
Woot hoot!
Image from Facebook site Fortunately, none - we were merely trying out Perth's very first 'Room Escape' game. Drawing inspiration from the many room escape game apps available on smartphones, the real life version of the game is now available at
Unit 7/1451 Albany Highway Cannington near Westfield Carousel Shopping Centre. The owl-themed
Mystic Clue Room Escape is a chance to get a group of friends together for a good hour of problem solving, teamwork and a lot of laughs in between.
The waiting room before the 'being locked up' room
As the first of its kind in Perth, Mystic Clue Room Escape is a fun, one of a kind game that offers a truly unique experience that makes you use your brain in ways you don't normally do in ordinary, mundane, everyday life. You will feel frustration, you will feel defeat, but above all, you will also feel triumph.
Participating in the interactive games will test your problem solving skills, creative thinking and ability to work cooperatively with your friends to find clues, hunt for solutions, interpret them and piece parts of the puzzle together to escape the room you are locked inside. Clues are to be searched for from high and low, obtained from gadgets, items and unexpected objects within the room that makes you think outside the box and use your brains in unexpected ways.
Mystic Clue Room Escape
The overall experience and average escape time is approximately
60 to 90 minutes per game, depending on your proficiency and how much of a mastermind you and your friends are. Prices are reasonable and are well worth it for the fun and unique experience offered. Mystic Clue rooms are designed to be suitable for the whole family, however children under 17 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
There are currently 2 rooms available to choose from, which change every so often to give you a chance to return regularly to satisfy your detective urges. The themes and design of the rooms are created based on customer feedback, and include a range of technological gadgets, special equipment and hidden mechanisms to interact with in a deceptively simple environment.
A deposit is required for the reservation and the remaining balance is to be paid on location on the day. The current rooms on offer cater for different sized groups and are priced as follows. Children under 12 years of age play at half price.
The Inception Room
($60 deposit)
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 Bat Room
($60 deposit)
The Bat Room is Mystic Clue's newest room and is suitable for 3 to 10 players. This creative room is a fully mechanised escape room with futuristic gadgets and designs. Play with gears, sensors and solve puzzles in this journey to save the city, which involves immersing yourself into an interesting plot with dark knight.
