Had a great time in the B99 room. The puzzles were rewarding without being overly complicated or rage inducing. James was a terrific game master, talking through the radio in character which helped elevate the experience.

We had an incredible experience at Rush Escape Rooms in Hawthorn! We took on both the Stranger Things and Hawk Saw rooms and had an absolute blast from start to finish. The Stranger Things room was a nostalgic thrill—packed with clever puzzles, eerie details, and just the right amount of challenge. It truly felt like stepping into the Upside Down! Hawk Saw was intense and immersive, with a darker, more psychological edge. The puzzles were creative and kept us thinking right to the end. The atmosphere really amped up the tension—in the best way. A huge shoutout to our game host, Jack, who was absolutely fantastic! He set the mood perfectly, gave clear instructions, and helped make the experience feel smooth and exciting. You could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it made a big difference in our overall experience. Highly recommend Rush Escape Rooms if you're looking for a fun, well-designed escape room adventure. We’ll definitely be back to try more rooms!

We had such a wonderful experience celebrating Dad’s birthday with the Stranger Things escape game — 10/10! It’s by far the best escape room we’ve ever done. The storyline was incredibly well thought out and genuinely shocked us at times! A huge thank you to the staff for the helpful hint when we needed it 😋 The room design and atmosphere were absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!
