What is an Escape Room? An Escape Room is a fun and exciting experience like no other. You are placed into a specially designed room with your friends and you have to solve a series of puzzles using only the items in the room to progress through a story and find your way out. You will have 60 minutes to successfully complete your objective. Each puzzle is different and will require you think inventively. You will need to think about clues carefully, analyse your surrounding, use objects in unusual ways and work as a team to escape. As you solve each puzzle you’ll uncover new information that will make you rethink everything in the room. Communication with your team is the most important tool to use if you want to get out in time. Escape Rooms first begun in 2007 in Japan and have quickly spread to all corners of the globe. In Australia, escape rooms started in Melbourne and then made their way across the country. As the awareness of escape rooms grew it was important that Canberra has its own escape room so we weren’t being left behind. The Nightmare Room You are contacted by the DreamWake Corp. an experimental science facility that specialise in Oneirology, the study of dreams. They have developed a new technology which can transfer a conscious mind into another's subconscious. They need your help with a particular case; a patient is trapped inside a recurring nightmare. The DreamWake Corp. believe that if you are able to go deep into her subconscious and find out what is causing the nightmare she’ll be able to wake up. This procedure has never been fully tested and once inside you'll only have 60 minutes before you lose your connection and become trapped inside her nightmare forever. Anything could happen in the Nightmare Room.

We attempted the hotel room and had a blast! it was our first escape room and our host was incredible Sarah, was so helpful and supportive and I would recommend going just to see her! The hotel room was incredible and unique and would be my highest recommendation would definitely go back to the riddle room to complete their other rooms, also a new room is coming out in January. It was the best fun our family has had in a long time, The room required moving objects to complete the room and was a one of a kind room.

Fantastic escape room in Canberra! We played Cold Case. We're experienced escape room enthusiasts and this is a well-designed, well-decorated, immersive game with lots of clever, original puzzles and satisfying "Aha!" moments! Our game master Siobhan was really lovely and did a great job in making us feel welcome and supporting us in our game. Can't wait to come back and try Revelation's other games!!

A great experience for the whole family. We had looked into other Canberra based escape rooms but none were suitable for younger tween children. Our group of four included two kids, ages 9 (taller than 120cm) and 12, myself and one grandparent aged 70+ and the experience was physically perfect for everyone. The puzzles were fun and not too challenging and everyone felt they had a good turn in participating and working together to solve the puzzles. We loved that the puzzles were not limited by the real world. The whole VR experience was a lot of fun for all of us and made great ‘what did you do in the school holidays’ stories. Will definitely return for other experiences.
