Asylum is a 60-minute, 18+ horror escape room by Escape This. You wake cuffed in a padded cell while a voice on the intercom promises therapy until you’re cured. Your group has one hour to escape before he returns for a final procedure. It plays at Northbridge in Perth, Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD, with a Brisbane CBD ward opening in the first half of 2027.
Asylum is rated 8 out of 10 by Escape This. The puzzles are complex, and you solve them in darkness, in restraints and with a voice taunting you, which makes the ward much tougher than the puzzle count suggests.
Asylum is priced per player. Northbridge: $49 Monday–Thursday, $65 Friday–Sunday. Sydney CBD: $55 Monday–Thursday (outside public and school holidays), $65 Friday–Sunday. Melbourne CBD: $55 off-peak, $69 peak. There are no child prices, because every player is an adult.
Two to four players at Northbridge, Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD. Asylum’s limits are fixed: a solo player can’t book it and a fifth person can’t squeeze in.
