FAQTeam building questions
Because the clock forces the habits teams find hardest at work: sharing what you know quickly, hearing out the quiet colleague who noticed something, and agreeing a plan under pressure. An Escape This room gives a group one goal and 60 minutes, so leadership, communication and problem-solving show up naturally — and the debrief afterwards gives everyone something concrete to discuss.
Problem-solving, communication, leadership, time management and conflict resolution. Not everyone agrees on the next move in an Escape This room, so a team has to resolve disagreements fast, use each person's strengths and keep track of time — the same things that make a team effective at work.
Yes. When a group is split across several Escape This rooms with the same start time, each team plays against its own clock, and afterwards you can compare who escaped, how quickly and with how few clues. Different rooms make it about bragging rights rather than a strict race.
Team Escapes is the team-building side of Escape This, Australia's largest escape room operator, which also runs its own escape room design studio and escape room factory in Australia. Every room your team plays was designed and built in-house, and Escape This was named Escape Room Operator of the Year in 2025 and 2026.

336 people, if all 48 rooms across Escape This's 5 venues started together with their largest teams (ER-OS room settings, 25 October 2026). By state that is 170 in Perth, 84 in Sydney and 82 in Melbourne. At a single venue, multi-room bookings suit up to 60 and full venue hire up to 100.
A multi-room booking spreads your group across several Escape This rooms at one venue, each team playing a different experience, with everyone starting and finishing at the same time. It suits groups of up to 60 who don't need the whole venue, and each guest pays per person as for a normal ticket.
Yes. Team Escapes can close a whole Escape This centre to the public for your organisation, with every room and space for up to 100 guests. It is charged by the hour with a two-hour minimum, and the events team plans the rooms, teams and timetable with you.
The whole venue for your group: free run of up to 12 escape room experiences for up to 100 guests, flexible furniture layouts, room for decorations, access to the AV systems and digital displays, and catering options. Escape This charges venue hire by the hour, with a two-hour minimum.
No. Escape This never mixes groups: a booking is private to your team, whether it is one room or twelve. Some operators fill spare places with other customers; Escape This does not.
A single room can be booked online straight away through the live booking grids on this site or Escape This's official ticketing partner, Fever. For several rooms or a whole venue, Escape This recommends enquiring so the team can tailor the rooms and timings — use the enquiry form, email bookings@escapethis.com.au or call (08) 6118 0286.

Yes. Monday to Thursday is off-peak at Escape This: multi-room bookings are 20% off, and hiring a whole venue off-peak saves up to $4,000 compared with the rest of the week.
About 90 minutes. Arrive 15 minutes before your start time, play for up to 60 minutes, then allow roughly 15 minutes afterwards for photos and the debrief. Venue hire runs for as long as you book it, with a two-hour minimum.
Every Escape This venue is in a central business or nightlife district — Hay Street Mall and Northbridge in Perth, George Street and The Corso in Sydney, Collins Street in Melbourne — with bars and restaurants a short walk away. Escape This also has hospitality partners near each venue; ask about them when you book.
No. Of the 48 Escape This rooms, 26 are adventures — pirates, wizards, heists, a Wild West gaol and more — and 22 are horror. Perth CBD and Manly are entirely adventure rooms, so a group that wants no scares at all can stay there.
Not at all. Most Escape This work groups include first-timers. The briefing explains how the rooms work, game masters send clues on request, and many rooms are rated for players from age 9, so nothing assumes prior experience.
A programme built with a relationship expert that turns the game into lasting insight. Before playing, each person completes a Workplace Bonding Questionnaire about how they solve problems and communicate; the escape room then tests those styles under pressure, and the team leaves with practical strategies for collaborating back at work.
Yes — it gives the party a shared story early in the night and something for everyone to do, not just the people who enjoy a bar. Escape This can run matched rooms for up to 60 or open a whole venue for up to 100, and every venue is surrounded by places to carry on afterwards.
Because it rewards the team with something they do together. An Escape This room asks for the same things a good financial year did — dividing up work, sharing information and staying calm with the clock running — so it doubles as recognition and as a fun night out.
Not yet, but it’s on the way. Escape This is opening Escape This Brisbane CBD in the first half of 2027, its first Queensland venue. Group sizes, prices and booking open once the venue is in the booking system; until then, Queensland teams can plan an offsite at the Sydney CBD venue.
