    So good. Simon was incredible, give Simon a raise. He took the whole experience to another degree of awesomeness, and I'm so grateful we got to have him! (I'm sure the rest of the staff are awesome too) We did the show must go on. Very fun! It was challenging for us, but in a fun way. Very easygoing and exciting.

    A friend and I did ‘The Show Must Go On’ and our host Brody was one of the nicest, charismatic and enthusiastic hosts I’ve ever had! This room is described really well on the website for being different to the standard type of escape room. I was really pleased with the room; I have done plenty of escape rooms and it was fun to do something a bit different. The story is really entertaining and it has great puzzles. What made the experience 5 stars though was Brody’s interactions - you can tell he loves his job! Brody really got into character and made the experience much more funny and enjoyable for us. Definitely recommend 😊

    The best quality room escape I have ever experienced! The technological elements were great, puzzles and codes aligned with the story very well. Really enjoyed my time there, I 100% recommend to try the place out. The team was so enthusiastic and friendly. Really made our night👍 Thank you so much Brodie!

    The room we did was honestly so fun! Competitive and cooperative! Croz was so welcoming when we first entered the lobby and for only working for a bit, he did very well with entertaining us! We will be definitely be coming back soon :)

    We did the escape room 'The Artifact' with the amazing game master Emily. The puzzles were straight forward with nice cooperative puzzles. The puzzles made sense and loved the personal experience from the Game master. Overall, it was fun and challenging! I would highly recommend and will come back to try another one of their escape rooms.

    Me and my friends did the artifact room and had Brody as our sassy AI! And he was amazing! Made the whole night so much fun! Brody was so funny, quick witted, charismatic, witty and very quick in responses. I am a Theatre chick with performance experience and he exceeded my expectations! Very well done, very much deserves a raise! His banter was flawless

    We opted for the most difficult room - The Artefact. It was run by Stuart. Apparently, this was Stuart’s first time running it but I couldn’t tell. He did an amazing job and thoroughly entertained us with a balance of humour and hints. They have a variety of rooms which is amazing for all group sizes and preferences! The selection is constantly evolving :) The staff is cheerful and friendly. They leave enough time between groups to allow for latecomers. We were 15 mins late and still had plenty of time to finish. Highly recommend

    What an extraordinary experience! It exceeded our expectations in every way, offering a perfect blend of adventure, fun, technology, mind-bending challenges, and brain teasers. Without a doubt, it's the ultimate source of enjoyment for a group. The people there are friendly and easy to approach. I highly recommend it!

    This was my teenager's first escape room experience, she and her friends took on 'Ex Libris' and completed it with enough time left to do the bonus objectives. Just the right level of difficulty, with additional fun added by the wonderful game master Brody, and my teen had an awesome time. Definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Mark A. 3 years ago on Google
    Did the dual Ex-Libris room with a group of mates for a friendly competition to see who could get out the fastest... Our hosts Vicky and Tina obliged our request to give us no clues... Very difficult but extremely yet annoyingly satisfying... Highly recommended rooms!!!

  • 5/5 Marvin S. 3 years ago on Google
    Having never done a Escape Room before, could not think of another place to start my Escape Room addiction! I played two rooms, throughout my experience, the Game Masters for each Kenton and Brody were excellent, welcoming and very engaging. They took away my initial nervousness as a new player and I was immediately hooked and immersed in the puzzles! This is a absolute must do while in Sydney.

  • 5/5 Ben P. 3 years ago on Google
    Great family experience. First time we’ve had live narration in an escape room and it really adds to the experience. Thanks Helen!

  • 5/5 Hannah A. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a wonderful time today completing the Ex Libris escape room. The entire experience was well worth the money! Special shout out to Helen who was a great guide along the way ?

  • 5/5 Jeffrey Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Pretty well made escape room. Not too hard not too easy. Helen an amazing GM!

  • 5/5 Samuel W. 3 years ago on Google
    Went with a few friends and it was such a worthwhile and fun experience! The puzzles were the right amount of challenging. If we ever got too lost or started over thinking a problem, the staff were able to subtly point us in the right direction. Both rooms “The Artefact” and “The Game” were great and filled with very innovative puzzles that’s set them apart from other escape rooms. Would 100% recommend this place to both new and experienced escape room fans.

  • 5/5 Vivien W. 3 years ago on Google
    Way beyond our expectation. This is our first time trying room escape. Our GM Helen has done a great job in guiding us through the game. Will definitely come back again!

  • 5/5 Jason C. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a great experience at Next Level Escape Room, the room was challenging, fun and our hosts Vicky and Tina were very entertaining with their narrations and made the whole experience enjoyable. Would defintely go again. Thanks again to our hosts Vicky and Tina for a very entertaining experience. Special thanks to Tina for the Rick Roll we recieved

  • 5/5 Krystal D. 3 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed Ex Librus today with my friend Kate. Kenton was a great GM who made our experience very enjoyable! Can't wait to come back and do another room in the future ??

  • 5/5 Nikki M. 3 years ago on Google
    This was our second time doing an escape room and we had so much fun! Our games master Brody was super helpful but also let us puzzle out things which was great! The theme of the room was books and stories and it was really well thought out and entertaining. I highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Terrence A. 3 years ago on Google
    Shout out to Tina and Vicky for allowing us to play without clues for as long as possible.

  • 5/5 Amaura P. 3 years ago on Google
    First time escapee here, this was such an awesome experience!!! My friend and I went through Ex Librus room. It was chocked with fun little easter eggs and references. GM Kenton is a master at storytelling and funny/sassy ways to give us hints. The room itself was pretty challenging, but incredibly fun to solve and go through. 11/10 would get rickrolled again.

  • 5/5 Ray b. 3 years ago on Google
    Vickie was a great game master, she made the room enjoyable and made the experience that much better. Will definitely be back !

  • 5/5 Angela K. 3 years ago on Google
    My friends and I had a fantastic experience visiting Next Level Escape! Margaret was very helpful and a great game master. We will definitely be back again!

  • 5/5 Kazim N. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a fantastic time at next level escape, the game was fun and challenging. The atmosphere was great too. Margaret was a great host and added to the overall experience. We all agreed we would definitely go again to try the others.

  • 5/5 Danielle D. 3 years ago on Google
    We played Ex Libris and loved it. GM Brodie was bubbly and entertained us throughout. I would highly recommend, Next Level is not like other escape rooms on the market.

  • 5/5 Melanie D. 3 years ago on Google
    Loved the escape room here the theme was excellent and the option to do two more challenges once you finish made it even better. The staff were great, was met by Brodie who was super professional, friendly and helpful.

  • 5/5 Daryl N. 3 years ago on Google
    On my first time here I had Brodie who was enthusiastic, funny and made our experience great. The rooms are well designed with great production value. Definitely coming back!!!

  • 5/5 Kenjo H. 3 years ago on Google
    Vicky was amazing !!!

  • 5/5 Tere R. 3 years ago on Google
    Possibly one of the best escape rooms in Sydney! Great story, great game master (thanks Kenton for guiding us with as much robotic patience as you were able to muster!), great and logical puzzles and overall a super fun experience! Highly recommended and looking forward to doing the next one at Next Level Escape!

  • 5/5 Clara L. 3 years ago on Google
    It was our first time playing escape room. We were having a debate about going or not as we are a bit worried that we wouldn’t be able to solve the puzzles and escape from the room. But it turned out really smooth even we stuck on some puzzles for longer time. Thanks to our great game master Helen who gave us hints exactly when we most needed them! We even solved the extra puzzles in addition to escaping the room even though we ran out of time! We are so happy to have Helen as the game master! A big thank you! We will definitely come back for more!

  • 5/5 Amber W. 3 years ago on Google
    A must-go fun place for friend gathering! Especially at a boring Saturday night! We had Helen as our Game Master! She is so lovely and patient and gave us hints when we were wasting too much time! Her voice was professional throughout the journey!

  • 5/5 Zhou Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Helen is very nice and patient with us :) great experience with the escape room and we r able to solve the 2 additional puzzles thx to Helen. Will definitely come back for harder one :)

  • 5/5 BaoTram P. 3 years ago on Google
    My bf and I did the Artefact room and it was quite challenging for the two of us which made it so fun. Tina was a great guide for the day and throughout the challenge. She did an amazing job making us feel welcome :DDD

  • 5/5 Sara W. 3 years ago on Google
    We played The Game room and loved it. Really fun and original concept with well designed puzzles and lots of interesting details. We had a great time and our game-master Logan was terrific and really contributed to our overall enjoyment. We have played lots of escape rooms and this was one of the best experiences we have had - highly recommend it!

  • 5/5 Nick G. 3 years ago on Google
    An absolutely fantastic adventure. My team and I loved both rooms we finished (The Artefact, Ex Libris) The 'Gamemaster' Brodi (Brodey, BRO-di) was absolutely fantastic and kept making us laugh while keeping us in the experience. Will definitely come back in the future with more friends, and keen to see what rooms will be available next time!

  • 5/5 O C. 3 years ago on Google
    My family and I visited Next Level Escape last night. For my husband, sister, and I, it was the second time playing one of your games. Last year, we played Ex Libris together and were absolutely blown away by the caliber of storytelling and creativity of the puzzles. We had been eagerly awaiting your reopening so we could try another of your rooms. We weren't sure if it was going to be possible to match the incredible experience we had at Ex Libris, but we were willing to try. Last night we played The Artefact. From them moment Brody (sorry if I spelled that wrong), met us at the door we felt welcome to the space. The new waiting area is lovely and spacious. Brody introduced us to the game and got all of the rules and stuff sorted, and then we got to play. Once more, the theatrical storytelling came into play. Our group was larger this time, with five people including my 10 year old daughter. It was her third escape room, but by far her favourite. She loved interacting with Hal and thought every part of the room was heaps of fun. That was the general sentiment for the rest of the group too. All of the puzzles were challenging and well themed, and the room was very well kitted out. The GMing helped with the immersion and provided plenty of laughter all around. We've done quite a few rooms around Sydney now, but Next Level Escape has skyrocketed to our favourite venue. Between the awesome themes with all the best Easter Eggs, the inventive puzzles, and the consistently excellent GMing, we love it. We are certainly coming back again (hopefully soon) to try The Game. I think the biggest difference between Next Level Escape and other places we've been to is the enthusiasm and involvement of the GMs. There is no question that the staff love the rooms and are passionate about ensuring players have a great experience. That kind of enthusiasm is infections for players, and is why we are intent on visiting again! Thanks to Brody for the great GMing (and for being patient with the loud kitty cat in the room- she had a blast).

  • 5/5 Phuong T. 3 years ago on Google
    Our group played The Game. Had a great time. It was a good escape room for 8 people. We were kind of worried it wouldn't be, but it was perfect. Kenton (sorry if that's not how you spell your name, my dude) also has really nice shoes.

  • 5/5 georgie g. 3 years ago on Google
    Such an awesome experience! Best escape room so far! Brody is brilliant and makes the experience that much better! Thank you so much for looking after us! 5 stars to Brody for his amazing performance! We definitely be back!

  • 5/5 eets l. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place for family and friends, Helen was great and would give us subtle hints during our session and made it just a little bit easier for us to figure out the next clue, highly recommend going here, I would go again in the near future

  • 5/5 Z C. 3 years ago on Google
    Did the Artifact room. Was an excellent experience. Great puzzles and theming with an awesome GM Brody.

  • 5/5 Rigo M. 3 years ago on Google
    Great well-produced rooms, haven't tried the VS yet but tried the other two and had heaps of fun. Logan and Jordan were great hosts. Rooms are up there amongst the best in Sydney

  • 5/5 Leon J. 3 years ago on Google
    I had fun doing the escape rooms. At first it was an enjoyable kind of frustration and as my team gradually solved more of the puzzles, it felt very rewarding. The game master did a fantastic job hosting the experience, aiding us when required and getting us riled up when appropriate.

  • 5/5 Rowan 3 years ago on Google
    Fun escape room experience, definitely recommended if you're around the CBD and want to try out something with a bit of challenge. Big shout out to our narrator, Kenton, extremely quick witted commentary took our experience to the next level.

  • 5/5 Madison B. 3 years ago on Google
    SHOUTOUT TO BRODY!!!! Best game master EVER. We’ve done 20+ escape rooms and this was by far the BEST experience. Thanks for being amazing BRODY!

  • 5/5 Jeremy L. 3 years ago on Google
    Had Logan for The Artefact and Jordan for Ex Libris. Both great guys and deserve their points for the review. Even gave my mate his umbrella back. Nailed Artefact but fluked Ex Libris. Still fun

  • 5/5 Yan 3 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended! Did Ex-Libris and it was very well designed with a scaling difficulty Big thanks to our GM Katherine for being an a terrific guide, giving perfectly subtle hints, too notch sound effects and being overall awesome!

  • 5/5 Dark P. 3 years ago on Google
    Did the Ex Libris room and loved the experience. We went as a group of 8 mostly comprised of teens and there were enough puzzles to keep us all involved and busy. The game master Brody was very funny and entertaining, he was very cheerful and made our experience amazing. Would go back to try the other rooms

  • 5/5 Jacob N. 3 years ago on Google
    Brodi was an amazing host and game master. Made an already entertaining escape room into a humour filled brain teasing time. Would highly recommend to others looking for a challenge to sign up. We took a group of 8 people into the Ex Libris challenge and despite having no book knowledge was able to complete each challenge with enough time and brain power.

  • 5/5 BIKAL A. 3 years ago on Google
    Pretty awesome place with nice hosts. Their escape rooms are nicely conceptualised and quite fun.

  • 5/5 Eve C. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a fantastic experience here for my work Christmas party! The facilitators were lovely and passionate, and the experience was very team building. My only comment would be that the lighting was quite harsh and didn’t match the mysterious ambiance

  • 5/5 Lorraine C. 2 years ago on Google
    We played "Show must go on" with 4 adults and 2 kids and had the best time. Bodies was a delightful and enthusiastic games master. The storyline was fun and the puzzles were entertaining to solve. Really well thought and interactive experience. Can't wait to try the other games in this escape room!

  • 5/5 David L. 2 years ago on Google
    My friends and I took part in one of their escape rooms and had a blast. The challenges in our room had great diversity in difficulty and were great fun to solve. Our narrators Shell and Nicky were the best too, and their inputs over the intercom made our experience that much better and more enjoyable. Overall, would definitely recommend for anyone to come. Especially if you have any spare $25 discover vouchers

  • 5/5 neilrulz 2 years ago on Google
    By far the best escape room experience ever! Leeanne was such a charm and a great actor! Really enjoyed my experience here. So much fun and enthusiasm. Will definitely come back Neil

  • 5/5 Guang C. 2 years ago on Google
    We’ve done a lot of escape rooms and would for sure recommend this place. We did the artefact escape room. Fantastic experience, quite innovative and we especially liked the interactivity and sense of humour. Daniel was a great host. Thanks next level escape!

  • 5/5 M S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience, as guided by Logan. They were patient and ensured we enjoyed and challenged ourselves. Highly recommend for large groups, they have 2 copies of the same room for some healthy competition.

  • 5/5 Jenniefer G. 2 years ago on Google
    We went with a group of 6 today to play Ex Libris and we had so much fun! We were able to escape the room within 59 minutes! Thank you to our host Nikki, she was great! We are excited to come back and do more rooms!!

  • 5/5 Stephen S. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great time with workmates. It was most peoples first experience in an escape room and Brodie made it really enjoyable for us. We split across two identical rooms for a head to head which made it even more fun. Thanks team!

  • 5/5 Jordan S. 2 years ago on Google
    My partner and I booked the library room. Logan was an excellent game master. Chiming in when we were stuck with just enough of a hint to help, but not to give anything away. Always stayed in character and made it a really fun experience. The puzzles are very thought provoking and well hidden. I loved that there's added humour to some of the clues and Easter eggs hidden throughout. Was definitely the best escape room we've done so far, hopefully we can come back one day and try some other rooms.

  • 5/5 Emily E. 2 years ago on Google
    My friends and I have done a lot of different escape rooms over the last few years but the Ex Libris escape room we did today was our favourite by a mile. Kenton was a wonderful GM; funny, professional and provided helpful clues without giving anything directly away which we loved. Having multiple rooms with simultaneous puzzles was a great experience for the 3 of us as everyone felt accomplished by the end. We'll certainly be back in the future and can't recommend Next Level Escape more!

  • 5/5 Jessica T. 2 years ago on Google
    Out of all the escape rooms I've done in Sydney, I have to say Next Level Escape is THE BEST escape room I have done! Our games master, Josh, was really nice and friendly, and made sure that myself and my group had a fun time while doing the escape room! We chose to do the Artefact, and Josh did not fail to entertain my group. The room was very fun and had a lot of challenges and the environment and staff in Next Level Escape are very friendly. Its name definitely lives up to its high quality standards, and Josh took our experience to the next level literally! I will definitely come back to Next Level Escape and highly recommend to everyone!

  • 5/5 Scott O. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a fantastic experience in 'The Show Must Go On' which was a little different from previous escape rooms that we've done. It was a super immersive experience with voice acting and lots of great special effects. Our game master Brody was so fantastic and hyped us up for a fun time. Will definitely be back to try some of their other rooms!

  • 5/5 Wilfred K. 2 years ago on Google
    I had recently did (The Artefact) here at Next Level Escape as a work event. The type of puzzles, creativity and excitement involved was perfect. I believe we had Tom as our host for the room and they made the experience so much more enjoyable. Tom never broke character and played the role very well. They were humorous, subtle in terms of hints and provided the right amount of contribution when required. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Becky M. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome escape room! We did the Ex Libris room with 12 people and were all able to have a blast! Really clever clues that were all about interacting with the props, solving clues and using keys and codes - loved that it didn’t involve any “outside knowledge” but was all achievable within the room. A lot of fun Easter eggs for book lovers too, without taking away from the XP for those not familiar with the books. Definitely a great room for a bigger group (although maybe 8-10 max! 12 was a bit chaotic at times, there was at least one bit you wouldn’t get a chance to see before others solved it). Make sure you follow Google maps carefully - the entrance to the building isn’t super obvious if you’re not on the lookout (lift block within an office type building) - but maybe that’s the first challenge :) Huge thanks to our game master who did a fab job making it fun, making the rules clear, and encouraging us as we went 🎉

  • 5/5 Arielle H. 1 year ago on Google
    We did ‘The Game’ room with 5-6 people. The escape room was super fun and well designed. Leanne was a great GM and super friendly. We had one team member come in late to our room, and Leanne was kind enough to refund the amount they would have paid, which she didn’t have to do at all! Keen to come back and try the rest of their rooms!

  • 5/5 Alyssa M. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently went to Next Level Escape and completed "The Game" room and I had the best time! Our game master Han was terrific and so enthusiastic. He had very vibrant energy and made the whole experience so much fun by making jokes and even entertaining us during the game briefing. I had an awesome experience and couldn't recommend this escape room and Han enough!

  • 5/5 Daniel G. 1 year ago on Google
    Best escape room I’ve done! We did The Game with two teams of 6 each and had a blast. Clever and fun puzzles, with the right amount of challenge. Emily was a great host. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Sherwin T. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great experience. It was a lot of fun and the staff member who worked with us was friendly and engaging and made the day a memorable one. The escape room and puzzles were good and sufficiently challenging that we had to work together to solve them. Would definitely like to try again

  • 5/5 Kam K. 1 year ago on Google
    Not an expert in escape rooms but definitely enjoyed the game and narration at Next Level Escape. Still a few more themes to explore in the future! Well done guys.

  • 5/5 Ilona C. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend Next Level Escape Rooms. We all had so much fun and the puzzles were challenging and great quality. The rooms are multi level and cleverly designed so there is something for everyone - enjoyed by teens and adults. Great for groups of friends, families, colleagues or community groups. Our guide Lauren was friendly and animated and made the experience very positive. We will definitely be back to try the other rooms.

  • 5/5 Jess L. 1 year ago on Google
    We completed the Ex Libris room last week as a team of two and we thought it was a very well-paced experience, with very fun puzzles and mechanics and a perfect degree of challenge. The base escape was very doable and the bonus objectives whilst challenging, were not over the top difficult either. We would like to thank Josh for being an engaging game master and he did an excellent job narrating the entire experience for us. In summary, 10/10 experience.

  • 5/5 Daniel 1 year ago on Google
    Our experience was very fun. We had an amazing host (Logan). We are all very excited to come back and play again <3. however would have been a big help if there was a possible way we could have left our phones charging while we were in the room.

  • 5/5 Ross A. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a wonderful time, and Brodie was an excellent game master, he was so engaging we were convinced he must be a DM in DnD as well! Highly recommend, Next Level Escape was very accommodating and involved, with humourous and friendly staff members (Like Brodie).

  • 5/5 Jane H. 1 year ago on Google
    These guys handled a booking of 12 people at very short notice. The staff were polite helpful and competent. Our game host was interactive and engaging. The game itself was challenging enough to keep us amused for 66 minutes and everyone had a great time with enough puzzles to keep our team of six involved at all times. We will be back to try the next one. Amazing experience.

  • 5/5 Amy Y. 8 months ago on Google
    I did The Artefact room with four of my friends and we all absolutely had a blast. Our host Stuart was so charismatic and fun. The room was just the right level of difficulty but not so much where you lose interest in the puzzles. We would definitely go back and try the other rooms at some stage. Can’t wait to go back

  • 5/5 Verena V. 8 months ago on Google
    THE GAME - If you like playing games this room is the room for you our game master Aaron was amazing and played his role extremely well. Would definitely go back and explore and escape the other rooms.

  • 5/5 Davina L. 8 months ago on Google
    Nikki is great! We felt that the room went smoothly since she is very kind and attentive. The room is also very well thought of and the puzzles are the perfect level. Really enjoyed the experience! Would definitely go again :D

  • 5/5 Lily L. 8 months ago on Google
    We just completed the artefact game and it was an absolute blast! Stuart our game host was amazing! He was a great host and made our experience extra fun! We were laughing and having a great time before we even started the game because of Stuart. Highly recommend next level escape room!

  • 5/5 Nee Shuang H. 9 months ago on Google
    The experience is amazing as always! This is my 2nd time there and this time we decided to play 'The Game' room. The room is amazingly decorated. The puzzles was nice to solve. Though I must say that it was the game master, Simon who really helped bring the atmosphere together. His acting is really good and he helps bring the games atmosphere together! I would definitely go back there again to try the other rooms!

  • 5/5 Phil M. 8 months ago on Google
    Aaron was a brilliant and accommodating host. The event ran smoothly and was loads of fun. He helped us walk that tightrope between a too difficult challenge versus a too easy one with too much hand holding. He was quick with a joke and very observant. Somehow managed to herd the flock of meandering cats that was my group! Thanks again Aaron and thanks to all the rest of the team behind the scenes. Great job, knocked it out of the park.

  • 5/5 Ulladulla L. 10 months ago on Google
    After discovering Next Level Escape we weren’t entirely sure what to expect. Most of us had never had the experience of doing an escape room so we decided to give it a go. It was a really excellent, exciting experience. The room was unbelievable and really well done, however the highlight of our night was the service we received from Simon. He took our experience to the next level and really deserves this review. We will definitely be booking in again to next level escape rooms to try the other three rooms. And any other escape rooms we stumble upon around d the country. Thanks again Simon. The Barr family.

  • 5/5 Reweena K. 8 months ago on Google
    Had an amazing experience!! Did “The Game” escape room as a team building activity and everyone had so much fun solving the puzzles. Simon was really great as a host. Highly recommended!! Easy street parking around or Wilson parking in Australia Square is just 3 mins walk.

  • 5/5 Jayden P. 8 months ago on Google
    5 stars. We played the library themed escape room and it was interactively narrated by our gamemaster Croz. He was great and we loved it.

  • 5/5 Emma F. 8 months ago on Google
    Such a great experience. Me and my friends had a brilliant time solving the puzzles and getting immersed in the storyline for our escape room. The staff were great, very helpful booking the experience over the phone and when we arrived they fun and welcoming.

  • 5/5 Doons L. 8 months ago on Google
    This was amazing! We did this on a team day with the five of us in the ex libris room. It was sooo much fun for so many reasons. Firstly, It has the right level of difficulty, where it was intriguing, fun but not too frustrating. Secondly, It was also amazingly narrated and hosted by Stuart, he was so fun and added to the other well built atmosphere. And thirdly, the decor and production was so well done. 10/10 would recommend

  • 5/5 Jackson D. 10 months ago on Google
    We had a really amazing experience doing ‘the show must go on’. One of the most immersive escape rooms I’ve ever done. Simon was an incredible game master. The puzzles, coupled with the visual effects, the props, and most importantly the acting, made it a massively enjoyable time. Would highly recommend if you want something fairly relaxed, but also full of excitement and entertainment.

    I played the room Ex Libris and I had so much fun! A completely unique experience and many fun puzzles and humour involved. A must try, especially if you’re visiting Sydney. Our game master was Mikaela and she was amazing being our narrator and guide. She also gave us many laughs. Favourite escape room experience yet! 😊

    Visited Next Level Escape to celebrate a friends birthday! We did ‘the Game’ room with Leanne as our GM :) This was PERFECT for a large group of people - we came with 10 of us! Competitive, interesting technology, fun concept, cool puzzles that were a good level of challenging! Leanne is also really expressive & passionate, making the experience really fun! Highly recommend if you want to do an escape room with a larger group of friends with a lil edge of competition!

    Had an enjoyable time and would thoroughly recommend to everyone. It was a unique experience for me and I will definitely head back again the next time I’m travelling. The rooms were very well-maintained and decorated. Throughout the entire duration, my family had fun solving the clues. Our narrator, Simon, was interactive, patient and we had a good laugh the whole time. Thank you Simon, you made it a very fun and one-of-a-kind experience !

    We did ‘ex-libris’, which is a fantastic room, really well-themed, clever puzzles that all make sense, and lots of funny moments. Our Master, Aaron, was truly wonderful! Not overbearing, helpful, and just the right amount of teasing. He genuinely enhanced the experience. Thanks so much Aaron! We’ll be back for more soon :)

    That was super fun. I'm hundred percent pumped for another game soon. Props to Stuart who has been an absolutely fantastic game master! I felt so much in the zone with his very perfect voice a d vibe. Totally matched the game's energy!

    We played The Game and had such a fun experience! Stuart, our host was very entertaining and helpful throughout the game. Loved the puzzles and the setup. Highly recommend! Thanks!

    Had a great experience with “The Show Must Go On.” Nikki was super knowledgeable and excellent at playing off our banter and ensured we had a great time. Their other staff are also very friendly and committed, so you can be rest assured you are in good hands. The room itself was really interesting with a good mix of story-based and puzzle components. Highly recommend Next Level Escape!

    I took my family here for their first ever escape room and everyone had a blast! The instructors were helpful, enthousiastic and very clever to help us in such a way that we always had the satisfaction of solving the puzzles. We had Aaron our guide and he added a whole dimension to the depth of immersion of the room. Definitely returning again!

    We did the Forest of Echoes room, and the game master (Nikki) did an AMAZING job creating an immersive environment. We had so much fun with the puzzles, but most of all the atmosphere in the room was just incredible. My favourite part about this room is how the puzzles and the story fits seamlessly. In a lot of other places that I've done, the puzzles seemed a little forced. But in this room, the puzzles were part of the story, and that made the entire experience just chef-kiss. Highly recommend for people looking for a different escape room experience (other than the typical finding-the-combination type puzzles). 10/10 would recommend.

    Absolutely brilliant. We did “The show must go on” with Matt as GM. I’ve done a few escape rooms but this one felt new and fresh. Matt played his role so perfectly that you couldn’t help but join in, the puzzles were challenging but achievable, but the real star is the humour. I’ve never laughed so much in an escape room. Only downside is the play doesn’t exist in real life, because i’d pay good money to see Scenes from Romeo and Juliet.

    We had a lovely time in The Show Must Go On with our GM Nikki - or, sorry, Nora. Great design, fun puzzles, and fantastic back and forth with the stage manager. Very fun experience, and we'll definitely be coming back for one of the more challenging rooms. Thanks!

    Aaron (Chet) was an amazing game master! We had a terrific time and he made the entire time enjoyable and fun with his witty jokes and Rick rolling us! We will definitely come back again to try out the other rooms for sure! Thanks Azza!

    Travelling down to this escape room to another level (literally), this experience (times by 2 as we had to come back the next day) was a ball of fun! We came for Forest of Echoes first, hearing that it was another narrative themed experience and came back for The Show Must Go On. Forest of Echoes was delightfully touching, wholesome and funny all at the same time, with a very non-linear set of puzzles. The environmental mechanisms were top-notch, giving us some free reign over this cool little forest microcosm. We highly recommend coming and playing this experience. It's a fun adventure with some great story arcs, and the creators did not hold back on pouring their own vibes into it. For that, it shines all the better, and we were in love with their unapologetic, personalised style of escape rooms.

    My husband and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary by doing the Ex Libris escape room. Our narrator was so fun and the overall experience was so awesome. The room is filled with so many intricate and varied puzzles. It was so immersive and it clearly has had a lot of thought put into it. Will definitely go again!

  • 5/5 Beth M. 5 months ago on Google
    We (2 adults & a 10 year old) did Forest of Echoes as our first room at Next Level Escape. The room was beautiful, the storytelling captivating with the puzzles carefully woven into each discovery. Josh, our game master, effortlessly balanced giving us guidance and maintaining immersion which was greatly appreciated. If you are looking for more than an escape room experience, something that lingers in your mind longer than the 80 mins you're in there, this is the room for you. I booked The Show Must Go On on the spot for tomorrow 😄

    Had an amazing experience with Aida as our GM for our staff party! She was incredibly kind and patient (as we had someone running late) and really looked after us and made sure we had a good time. The puzzles in the room were both challenging but fun and encouraged team work. The involvement of the GM was also fun and interactive and not something I've experienced at other escape rooms. Would definitely recommend Next Level Escape to friends and those who are new or experienced players.

    Wonderful fun for a great team bonding session! Zach and Nikki were wonderful commentators/facilitators of the game - highly recommended for a great laugh !!

    Had an absolute blast at Ex Libris! The room was the perfect difficulty, challenging but not impossible even though we were only a small group (two people). Special mention to Brodie our game master, who went above and beyond to make the experience fun for us! I also love how he lead us through the puzzles at the end of the experience and answered any questions or comments we had. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Sydney!!

    My friends and I really enjoyed our time playing ex lbris. The little helping voice in our heads Croz was amazing in assisting us along but allowing us to figure out the puzzles ourselves first. A very enjoyable experience 😆

    We had so much fun!!! We were a group of 5 and we did forest of echoes today. Tyler was our game master and she was absolutely AMAZING!!! Stayed in character the entire time and we actually had a good laugh in there. Also shoutout to Aaron who was our game master last time when we did The Game last time and both of them were spectacular. Definitely will be coming back to do the rest 🤭

  • 5/5 Amber L. 4 months ago on Google
    The escape room was stellar—good puzzles, creative theme and amazing game flow. But it was the game masters who really make the experience (shout out to Zach who was awesome!) You can tell they’re working hard to give you the best game possible and they’re delivering. Well done!
