Escape rooms have come a long way from padlocks, combination codes and a handful of clues scattered around a room. Tucked beneath Hay Street Mall in the heart of Perth CBD, Escape This is home to a huge collection of totally immersive adventure experiences, giving families, friends and groups plenty of worlds to choose from. The multi-award-winning company, recently named Australia’s Best Immersive Experience Provider for 2026, has built its reputation around cinematic sets, elaborate puzzles and experiences that make you feel like you’ve stepped directly into the story.
ESCAPE THIS – Perth CBD
At Escape This, there are some seriously imaginative scenarios to choose from. In Hitman, you’ll find yourself trapped inside the secret headquarters of Assassins Anonymous after your lift gets stuck between floors, giving you just one hour to find a way out before the boss returns. Bank Heist throws you into a robbery gone wrong, with a collapsed escape tunnel, wired alarms and a vault still waiting to be cracked. Or head back to the Wild West in High Noon, where you’ve been locked in separate cells after a stagecoach robbery and need to break free and reclaim your stolen loot before the clock strikes twelve.
For something more magical, The Wizard’s Chamber puts you in the Headmaster’s sanctum, where you’ll need to uncover an immortality elixir and destroy its formula before dark sorcerers breach the castle. Meanwhile, Hotel: Murder Mystery, which took first place at the global Immersive Experience Awards, drops you into 1920s Paris, where accused of murder you’ll need to clear your name and figure out ‘whodunnit.’ Then, Lost Tomb is WA’s largest escape adventure and a three-time international award winner, taking you deep into an ancient tomb packed with secrets to uncover and challenges to overcome. With 12 different experiences and so many themes under one roof, you can keep coming back and still find a new adventure waiting.
Perfect for a family day out, a school holiday activity, a birthday celebration or a big group adventure, Escape This Hay Street is designed to get everyone involved. The experiences vary wildly in setting and storyline, but they all share the same focus on teamwork, problem-solving and transporting players into another world for an hour. And because the venue is right on Hay Street Mall, it’s easy to turn your escape into part of a bigger day in the city! If you’re looking for something that gets everyone off their phones and working together, this Perth CBD escape room destination is well worth adding to your plans.
