    Had such an amazing experience yesterday playing Perpetual Motion with my partner! The room was very well put together, I found the use of objects in the room and the type of puzzles we had to complete very clever. I particularly liked our Games Master - Julia. When we escaped she gave us such a great breakdown of our decision making process throughout the game, which was really interesting to hear considering everything happens so fast during the game haha. Will be back for sure! Thanks for the great time!

    First time there with others who had been before. Easy parking, lovely drive to Galston. We were made to feel welcomed and it was such a great time had. Really challenging and gets the mind thinking in really different ways to solve puzzles that open locks. You do get some help if you need it, which we did :) Caters for all different levels of ability. Great fun and totally recommend going there.

    Took the kids to Elude to play Torquay. The room was well thought out with lots of different types of puzzles to solve. It was very fun to play but was a bit too hard with the time limit. We were very thankful for the clues and extra time. Will be back to try other rooms. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Highly recommended!

    First time in an escape room, and the experience was great. We were made thoroughly welcome, and the briefing was both entertaining and informative. It really set us up for success! We went through the “Perpetual Motion” room, which is the beginners level. (And I would advise those who have never been in an escape room before to start at this level.) Based mainly around locks (of all types) clues to open the locks ranged from difficult to bloody confusing puzzles! Solving the puzzles often involved thinking outside our established frames of reference. We managed to escape the room with 3 minutes to spare (which was in the top 20%) which is pretty good even if I say so myself. If there is one criticism it was the very steep slope from the parking area to the rooms. OK for the young and fit, not so good for us oldies. Maybe they could look at some easier access. But, as I said, the staff were great, the room was great, the puzzles were interesting and I will certainly be back.

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

  • 5/5 Vanessa E. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great experience today at Elude. One of the best Escape rooms we’ve done. Lots of challenges (and laughs and a bit of stress by us!) The Elude team were awesome! We are looking forward to going back and trying the other rooms (We did Torquay Beach Room). Extra bonus was we used the NSW Govt parent vouchers and it was super easy and great to support local business. A great day with the family to finish the school holidays (and to celebrate a Birthday)! Highly Recommend. 10/10 Thanks Elude!

  • 5/5 Sarah B. 11 months ago on Google
    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.

    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.

  • 5/5 Ash G. 11 months ago on Google
    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.

    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!

  • 4/5 Max N. 11 months ago on Google
    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.

  • 1/5 Nakeisha B. 1 year ago on Google
    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 :(

  • 5/5 Nicole L. 9 months ago on Google
    Wow! We had so much fun today and still buzzing from the experience. It was the first escape room for our son and what a great way to celebrate his 7th birthday. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves whilst showing him the ropes of this brilliant activity. Our game master, Darren, was great at helping us through our room, dropping us great hints to keep our momentum and adrenaline going when we needed it. The puzzles were fun, perplexing in just the right way and we had plenty of laughs throughout. What a great activity to do as husband and wife, too! Sharpened our communication skills and teamwork! We will be back very soon for more.

  • 5/5 Sergio M. 1 year ago on Google
    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.

    Elude Escape Room provided my friend and me with an unforgettable experience that far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by their commitment to inclusivity and their willingness to adapt to meet our specific needs. Their dedication to accommodating different languages and accessibility requirements is commendable. What truly sets Elude Escape Room apart is their open-mindedness and their genuine desire to collaborate and improve their services continually. This commitment extends to making their escape rooms accessible for Deaf and Auslan-using individuals, which is a testament to their dedication to serving a diverse range of customers. We chose the Perpetual Room, and it proved to be an exhilarating challenge filled with unexpected twists and turns. The puzzles and riddles were ingeniously designed, keeping us engaged and on our toes throughout the experience. The attention to detail and immersive atmosphere within the room was truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend the Perpetual Room to anyone seeking an adrenaline-pumping adventure. It's an excellent choice for both escape room enthusiasts and newcomers alike. The thrill of solving puzzles and uncovering hidden surprises will keep you talking about the experience long after it's over. Elude Escape Room has certainly left a lasting impression on us. Their dedication to inclusivity, commitment to improvement, and the sheer excitement of the Perpetual Room make it a must-visit destination for all adventure seekers. We can't wait to return and explore their other rooms, as we're confident they'll be just as fantastic as this one.

  • 5/5 Makena S. 5 months ago on Google
    Great puzzles, you can really tell they have thought about every single element and how they interact. Room designs are BEAUTIFUL and expansive and the games master is not too pushy! They let you solve the room until you really are stuck and need help, unlike some other places I have been. Definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Charles P. 5 months ago on Google
    Small rooms, big challenges! These escape rooms are awesome. They each have a theme. I've only done the indoor ones, but they have outdoor ones and some interesting new games coming soon! The place is located in the semi-rural town of Galston. The staff are friendly, and their animated nature makes for an encapsulating experience. Highly recommend you test your brains and try these escape rooms. You won't be dissapointed

  • 5/5 Jessica L. 7 months ago on Google
    They are very passionate about what they do there. We played Perpetual motion- easily one of the best escape rooms we have been to. The puzzles are very thoughtful in its setup. I would definitely recommend it to others.

  • 5/5 Laura S. 7 months ago on Google
    Fantastic escape room absolutely full of fun puzzles that really challenged us even though we've done heaps of escape rooms before. We did Perpetual Motion and it was very immerssive and had believable props and decorations which made it amazing. There were lots of rooms and places to explore. My kids loved it too.

  • 5/5 Robin R. 5 months ago on Google
    Darren & Julia were wonderful hosts and we had an incredible time playing three of their rooms. You can see the passion and love they’ve put into every experience and I highly recommend Elude Escape Rooms!

  • 5/5 Ingrid W. 3 months ago on Google New
    We all really enjoyed our time here, it was a wonderful way to spend an hour with our boys. The room set up is very well done - professional and looks fantastic. Clues given when needed and the puzzles were so good. Highly recommend a trip out to here as a group / family event….we will certainly be going back to do the other 3 rooms and outdoor game.

  • 5/5 Danielle G. 4 months ago on Google
    Elude Escape Rooms was so much fun. 5/5 and exceeded expectations! We did the Murder Mystery Room and there was so much detail in there, it was so amazing and we had great fun. Our Host was lovely and very passionate about the rooms scenario and clues which made the experience all the more interesting! It was also very refreshing to have a dedicated Host to assist us and look after us, who then spent the time explaining the room and things we may have missed along the way, and to not be rushed out the door afterwards. We will be back for more!

  • 5/5 Yevgeny S. 6 months ago on Google
    We did the Perpetual Motion room, enjoyed it a lot. The puzzles were interesting and the whole experience was well organised. (Note that there is a bit of walk from the parking to the rooms, so be prepared in case of bad weather)

  • 5/5 Kaye F. 2 years ago on Google
    We buy an Escape Room for our 4 grandchildren as Christmas presents. We decided it was too difficult to buy for them as they have every thing so we have done this for the past 2 years and will be doing it again this year. Fortunately when we mentioned this was going to happen again they were extremely happy. We go along with them. Children are aged from 10 - 15. Staff are brilliant and very helpful.

  • 5/5 Vadym K. 3 years ago on Google
    What an amazing experience! The room is designed very creatively, so it keeps you engaged and on your toes. The staff are extremely friendly, supportive and helpful. As a bonus it is located in a quiet and beautiful suburb, but there are still great places to dine and shop nearby. We had a great time as a family and we will definitely come back again to try all the rooms! P.S. Thank you very much from the Crazy Frogs Team! 😉

  • 5/5 Laura C. 3 years ago on Google
    Really fantastic escape rooms and friendly hosts! We tried the easiest room with two people and it was very challenging. The host is very attentive and is flexible in providing just enough extra clues so that you do not get completely stumped but allows for you to still be challenged. You can tell a lot of effort has gone into the creation of the rooms. Will be back for sure to try out the other rooms!

  • 5/5 Yun L. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent room and lovely game master. Spent about an hour after the game having a chat and some feedback on what we could do better as a team to succeed in record timing in other rooms. What stood out in this room were a couple of puzzles which were new and interesting from the many we've been through already. The overall experience, whilst challenging, was absolutely fun and cannot wait to get through the other two rooms. Definitely recommended!!

  • 5/5 Jenny C. 2 years ago on Google
    Had an absolutely amazing experience! As a first time visitor to Elude, we did Perpetual Motion and looking to do more rooms soon!! The room was well thought out and the puzzles were a lot of fun. Thank you to the Elude team for your passion and vision :) Can't wait for what you guys do next!

  • 5/5 Jessica S. 2 years ago on Google
    First time at Elude Escape Rooms for a church group social event and it was the best time! Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely! The staff were incredibly friendly and you could tell they were so passionate about what they do. The room we did was challenging, but the staff gave us clues if they could tell we were struggling and running out of time, so we could actually experience the entire storyline and game. It was fantastic and we couldn’t fault it!!

  • 5/5 Georgia-Rae F. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely AMAZING! I would highly recommend. Passionate owners and fabulously thought out rooms. We had so much fun and I will definitely be returning. The best escape room experience I have ever had.

  • 5/5 Laura P. 2 years ago on Google
    Really really fun! My family and I completed our first escape room here and we loved it! The owners were lovely and ensured we had an enjoyable experience. We will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Orit V. 2 years ago on Google
    The best escape room experience in Sydney. The place is welcoming and easy to find. When we arrived, we were welcomed by the game master, who explained clearly to us about the room we selected, how the puzzles are structured and how we should proceed. The escape room is beautifully designed, the puzzles are interesting and challenging. The game master monitor the progress constantly and will deliver a hint if necessary. The escape rooms are being changed over time, so can come few times and have different experiences.

  • 5/5 Erika L. 2 years ago on Google
    Elude escape rooms is amazing!! The game master was really welcoming and explained everything well. The puzzles in the room were unique and interesting and the attention to detail was clever. Will be going back again!

  • 5/5 itsjustme 1 year ago on Google
    Did this room with my best friend and although we may have been the stupidest people ever it was so fun! It was my first time doing an escape room and I had the best experience. So much more then you’d expect!! Afterwards they even explained everything and how funny it was to watch us. We were given extra time and that really helped. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 rowena s. 2 years ago on Google
    My husband and I visited the Elude escape rooms yesterday, and we had the most amazing experience. We booked the perpetual motion room, and we were looked after from start to finish. Emma was so lovely and gave us a great introduction and information before we started. I must say that this was our second escape room experience, but the first at Elude, and we were quite hopeless with all the clues :). But there were great hints given every time we needed them. The room itself is so well planned, and the attention to detail is incredible. You can see the passion and hard work that has gone into these rooms. We did not escape in one hour, but we really appreciated the extra time. Loved everything about our visit from start to finish, and would love to come back and try one of their other rooms. As Hills residents, we feel so lucky to have escape rooms of this superb quality so close to us, and would recommend this to everyone.

  • 5/5 Rhojan V. 1 year ago on Google
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is how you design an escape room! We did Perpetual Motion and it was some of the most fun I've ever had in an escape room. There are so many unique puzzles that have you genuinely thinking out of the box. Every puzzle connects to the theme of the room and challenges you without making you frustrated. Also, the centrepiece of this room is so freaking cool! If you want an authentic escape room with plenty of fun puzzles, I strongly recommend Perpetual Motion.

  • 5/5 Angela W. 1 year ago on Google
    Beyond our expectations! I visited with family from the US - we were a group of 3 adults and 2 teenagers. We were relative novices having each been to only 1 or 2 escape rooms in different locations previously. We LOVED our visit to Elude! The high ceilings and layout of the room meant that we were able to easily navigate the space as a group of 5 - unlike other escape rooms we had been to. There was something for everyone in the challenges presented and prompted us to work as a team. It worked well for our mixed age group and would also be great for primary school aged kids to enjoy. But what made this experience even more special was the way that Darren took us through our escape journey and explained details we hadn’t noticed. We all learnt more about ourselves and how our brains work - or don’t work :). I especially loved this location. It is not hard to get to from almost anywhere. Worth the drive to have the opportunity to visit this area - including as well as the fun at Elude. There are lots of great places to eat as well as gorgeous scenery to enjoy. Darren and Julia have clearly dedicated time, effort and enthusiasm into creating Elude and in ensuring that everyone attending has an amazing experience. I can’t wait to return to try more rooms and was especially excited to hear that there are even more in the making! Thank you for a fun, challenging and educational escape room adventure!!

    We had the funnest time at Elude. Julia hosted our big group and she was delightful. By far the best experience we have had doing escape rooms. Worth the trip to Galston. We were in stitches laughing! Just brilliant. Thanks again!

  • 5/5 Julie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Sensational family fun! Perpetual motion was a wonderful brain teaser with plenty of aha! moments. Very satisfying to work out the clues and escape. Helpful, friendly staff! We'll be back next holidays to test out our wits in the next room. I highly recommend the experience.

  • 5/5 Raymond N. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the most fun escape room places in Sydney. Rooms created by the wonderfully creative and energetic Game Masters Darren and Julia, you can see their passion and love for escape rooms shine and emanate throughout each masterpiece they create. The experience is just like any escape room, except you're matched with unique puzzles and a warm atmosphere building story that captivates you into their 1 hour worlds. Eludes Escape Rooms is highly recommended to visit for anyone with the interest of trying out an escape room.

  • 5/5 Sue M. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing, hosted by professionals who are extremely friendly and helpful, the location is amazing. The escape room we did had a mixed level of puzzles with very well timed hints if needed. Would highly recommend their new outdoor experience that’s opening soon.

  • 5/5 R T. 1 year ago on Google
    We were the last group to come through on a Friday night but instead of being rushed out so they could close up, Julia was AMAZING and sat there to chat with us about all the different escape room experiences she’s had and recommended other escape rooms for us to try out. Great customer service and awesome, fun and challenging rooms. We’ve done 2 of them and will definitely be back to do the rest!!

  • 5/5 Choo Ban H. 2 years ago on Google
    Never been to an escape room before. Elude is the right place for new fun and exciting experience. The owner and his assistant were extremely friendly and helpful. After the game they came in to explain what we went through in the escape room to give us a better understanding of our experience. Highly recommended as you would be entertained even when you are waiting at the reception.
