We enjoyed The Haunting! It was challenging, fun, and creative. The game masters, Daniel and Matt, were very professional and accommodating. I especially liked how open they were to feedback and how they asked for suggestions on how they could further improve the customer experience at the end of the game. Excellent customer service. The lighting, design, and effects definitely created a scary atmosphere and vibe. But if I’m being honest, it was overshadowed by my fascination with the sequential trigger system — the way one action cleverly set the next mechanism in motion was incredibly satisfying. Overall, it’s a great activity for friends, family, or a date night. Highly recommended

We really loved The Haunting escape room. As first time 'escape roomies' we were pleasantly surprised at the quality and detail of the props and puzzles. A perfectly creepy little room with awesome sound and effects. The fact we were in a legit old 'haunted' house made it even more special.. My husband wasn't really interested in doing an escape room at the start...but he ended up enjoying it just as much as I did! The lovely staff Matt and Dan were great. Definitely recommend this for something different.
The haunting escape room was excellent. Sage was such a sweetheart. The only down side I really loved the teddies and wanted to take it lol

The Haunting room was a very creepy environment and the host Lachie was very kind and made the experience really enjoyable. We can’t wait to do the next one!
We just played the Frankenstein room and it was honestly so amazing!! The theming is beautiful and (without spoiling anything) a specific prop blew me away by its realistic and haunting atmosphere. Shout out to our Games Master David - he was super nice and welcoming
We've crammed in Frankenstein, Cannibal & Haunting over the last 2 days while our friend is visiting from overseas. Everything was amazing as weve come to expect from Escape This. Our game masters were Lachie, Taro & Vivek who were all incredible. Best escape games in Aus!
The Haunting was a cool and spooky atmosphere and really cool puzzles we 'almost' figured it all out but not quite.<br>Our games master James was awesome really friendly, funny and making the experience more exciting and enjoyable for us. 🙂🤙
Really enjoyed the haunting experience! Very challenging but will defs be back for another one! Our room leader Elise was fantastic thanq
The Haunting escape room was unbelievably fun birthday experience! Thank you to Sage for being such an incredibly friendly and helpful host :) We’ll definitely be coming back for the other rooms!!
Did the haunting was an amazing experience Astor was a lovely host
We did The Haunting at Escape This straight after a staff meeting and had such a good time. I promised in the room that if nothing jumped out and touched me, I’d leave a good Google review — and honestly, I would’ve anyway. The puzzles were really well thought out, the room unfolded piece by piece, and it was genuinely great team building. Big shoutout to Taro and Michael for running such a fun experience. Highly recommend.
went here a few days ago to play haunting! It was a really cool room, really good set design. The host Sage was super helpful!!
Great experience! We did the haunting room and found the puzzles challenging yet achievable. Shout out to David and May for taking care of our group for the night!
Had so much fun doing The Haunting escape room! Rhys was an amazing game master and made the experience more enjoyable. Definitely recommend this place for a fun night out :)
The Haunting room was really good. The environment was immersive, it was challenging, and the game master seemed very passionate about his job. We all really enjoyed the experience.
My friends and I did the Haunting last night and the puzzles were super fun. Pretty tricky but it makes it satisfying when you solve them. Rhys was a great game master, super kind and made the experience really enjoyable :))) Will definitely be back soon!!

Is it worth the fright?
Just how frightening is Atkins House?
Properly scary, in a haunted-house way. The Haunting has jump scares, confined spaces, periods of complete darkness, flashing light, smoke and strong adult themes. It’s tense, sometimes gory, and the strict 15+ limit is there for a reason.
Is The Haunting worth playing?
Players think so. The Haunting averages 4.95 out of 5, and 179 survivors gave it five stars. Reviewers keep coming back to the creepy atmosphere, the detail in the set and props, and gamesmasters who make the night.
Who made The Haunting?
Escape This wrote, designed and built The Haunting itself, from Cathy’s nursery to the effects that bring Atkins House to life, and runs it at Northbridge. Escape This is Australia’s largest escape room operator, with its own escape room design studio and escape room factory.
