Elude Escape Rooms

Perpetual Motion:The positives are: The lady running it was very friendly. The waiting room was nice.The negatives were:We did the room as a 6 person team. The intro area and initial puzzle is in small not well lit area. It was hard/impossible for us all to work on it at once I felt claustrophobic. Once we were in the main room it was still badly lit. The puzzles were all sequential so if you got stuck on one bit you couldn't move on to another puzzle. And you couldn't split in to smaller groups as it was only one puzzle at a time. Some of the puzzles were only 3 people puzzles. In short it seemed to me to inappropriate for 6 people. Also I found one of the puzzles not that great. We had about 6 clues and we knew kind of what we were meant to do before we got one clue, but it didn't really seem to make sense. And the clues didn't really help. The clues we got weren't in a timely manner to help us get to the end either so we missed the end. I personally didn't think any of the puzzles particularly interesting. So overall I can see they made a great effort, it's a good room, but it's not amazing IMHO.

Fun and challenging at the same time. Very cleverly put together and the rooms are aesthetically pleasing. Our host was very welcoming and hospitable as well as very helpful with some of the clues when we needed them. Would love to try another escape there.

Amazing ! We have never done an escape room before but my son wanted to do one for his 11th Birthday…. We went with 3 of his friends and had a great time ! Harry the game master was so patient and fabulous with a group of rowdy kids!! Highly recommend we will be back but without the kids !!!

Attended birthday party here, the kids said the puzzles were interesting, took them 50 mins to escape . Outdoor 2 big tables under cover.

Tried to book for my birthday for just my fiancé and I since I wanted something fun for just the two of us. They said they couldn't book less than 3 people for a weekend but allow 2 people bookings in the week. My partner and I work fulltime jobs in the week. They called back to say they would allow 2 people to book on a weekend providing it was a walk in last minute. I explained that they were asking me to gamble on the time we wanted being available and risk wasting my fuel and birthday to drive out there for that. Really disappointing response from the owner :(

My friends and I returned to do Framed and Perpetual Motion. Both were amazing! You can tell the room was thought out very carefully to ensure that the puzzle solving could transition smoothly. Everything made sense, whether it be the puzzles itself or where to use the solution. They really were able to immerse us into the rooms with the amazing sets designs and props used. I liked how there wasn't really any irrelevant props that were useless and time wasting that other rooms do. I have now completed all indoor rooms at Elude and I can say they’re the best in NSW. You can tell the Owners really love what they do, and the rooms are thought out to the slightest detail, as you'll find out when they give you a lovely briefing at the end of every game. Elude is very consistent in that all the rooms are high quality, even to their puzzles they place in the toilet. The only bummer is that all the indoor rooms have been completed but we will definitely be back for the outdoor one!

Excellent escape room experience. Emma was really nice. The puzzles were thoughtful and engaging and the set up of the room was really neat. We really enjoyed Torquay and will be back for other rooms.

First ever escape room for most of our group of 4. We had 75mins and over 10 locks to open. The team at Elude have a great setup and are friendly and personable. The room was really well laid out with lots to discover and decode. Having done one now we would definitely do more. The reception has a lot of other great puzzle activities and games too so you can take your next challenge with you.

This was our first escape room experience and I think the bar has been set very high for future escape rooms. Julia, our game master was so lovely, she explained everything to us, gave us helpful hints along the way and even took the time at the end of the session to walk through the room. The attention to detail was very well thought out, it was clean, welcoming and i can’t wait to go back. Thank you for making our first experience so enjoyable.

By far the best Escape room place in NSW!! Firstly, the owners are so welcoming and lovely, which immediately starts your experience on the right foot. The entire place is clean and well presented, starting from the walk from the cars all the way to the reception, with numerous puzzles along the way (check the toilets). The rooms themselves are very attentive to detail and have so many puzzles involved. All rooms flow smoothly and have a story involved which the owners clearly explain to you after your room, clarifying any questions you may have. The rooms are very well thought out and its clear the owners have taken so much time and care to ensure each room is perfect. These rooms were all different to your usual rooms which often have similar puzzles or designs, all originally created by the owners. Not a single negative about this place. Would highly recommend ticking this place off the list. I will 100% be returning when more rooms open in the future. 100/10. Best in the escape room business.
