A brilliant game in which players solve a series of puzzles using clues & strategy to ultimately escape before the clock runs out. Use skill, logic & reasoning to solve the puzzles. Great team building, teaching the importance of communicating and working together. Experience an exhilarating adrenaline rush from playing the game, and give your brain a great workout.

Our experience with Perpetual Motion was excellent. The rooms are really well put together, the props are top notch and the puzzles are a good mix. Clues are provided as you need them, with smaller tips, and if necessary, more help in case you’re totally stuck. The game masters, Julia and Darren were amazing before and after. Since we were the last slot of the night, we were able to have a chat with them at great length about the design of the room, tips and tricks for working a room better and overall strategy that makes a great escape team. Overall, we had an amazing time!
5. McKell Park

After a delicious lunchtime feed of fish and chips at Brooklyn recently, we walked passed the Hawkesbury River Train Station down to McKell Park. This park is nicely positioned by the river and the Brooklyn Baths (an enclosure in the river for public swimming). We followed the path by the river to Flat Rock Point and around to Parsley Bay on the other side of the hilly point, this is an easy short picturesque walk. There are picnic shelter sheds, a children playground and a collection of historical photographs to peruse in the park. Car parking in the area can be difficult on weekends as Brooklyn is a popular location.
