10 Fun Activities & Games in Sydney That You Shouldn't Miss
Sydney offers plenty of historical and contemporary Australian flavor. The marvelous Sydney Opera House looks like a great origami sailboat, floating peacefully in a harbor. Wander the narrow cobblestone streets of The Rocks and then take in a street performance on the Circular Quay before heading into the Museum of Contemporary Art. The views from the Sydney Tower Eye observatory are epic – use this chance to get to know the layout of the city from high above.

Played the Lost Mine and it was mentally challenging but fun! Missions need a bit of thinking to complete and it was thrilled with some dispense. If you need a bit of help throughout, you can always call the game master and Lily will give you some awesome tips. Definitely would recommend

I did the Supercell last night with a group of friends (almost all of us first timers to escape rooms) and we had the best night here. The room was challenging without getting frustrating and we all had a lot of fun working together (we escaped as well! Which was super exciting for all of us haha). Our host for the night was James and he was brilliant, explained everything really well and was super friendly, really set a positive mood. For this room he had control of when/if we got clues and they were always really well timed and dropped just regularly enough to keep us progressing. Definitely recommend this place, we couldn't stop talking about it for the rest of the night and all want to go back and try the other rooms :D

Escape rooms are live-action strategic games, where players work in teams to discover clues, solve puzzles and accomplish tasks in order to successfully reach the goal in a limited time. Real-life escape rooms are a fun new entertainment concept. It is a type of physical adventure game in which a small group of friends are placed in a room and have to use elements of the room to solve it.

‘The Ransom’ is the newest of the four escape rooms currently offered by Social Escape. We did it as a group of two (not recommended due to the multi-linearity nature and number of puzzles, but doable) and escaped with 15 minutes to spare. The theming was fantastic and we felt instantly transported the moment our game-master left us to our own devices (you’ll know what I mean once you’ve done the room, it really was very clever and I’m still smiling about it). The puzzles flowed well, were innovative in design, and there was good mix of mechanical and traditional locks. Cannot fault it, top marks!

Cipher room is amazing! There is such a high attention to detail put into everything here, from the atmosphere they create with the lobby’s decor to the confirmation email to the design of the rooms themselves. We played the Cabin and it had such a great array of puzzles and the room felt real. Our game master Tom was so lovely and knowledgeable and spent so much time talking to us about the rooms after our game which was greatly appreciated. And we loved the system of getting a pin to say you completed the room! We will definitely be back to finish our collection ☺️

Lots of laughs with friends playing through the Cosmos adventure. The problem solving was decently challenging, and the experience very immersive - though a little bit short for the group of us. This was fine though, the attendee let us play through a shooter game in the foyer for the remainder of our booked session. Also, the complementary tea and coffee was a really nice touch.

Virtual Room is an award-winning team VR experience (with no motion sickness!). Blending the escape room concept with a full 3D cinematic experience to deliver a unique, immersive & mind-blowing adventure lasting ~40-50 mins. Played in groups of 2, 3 or 4 players where each player has their own dedicated room - you will join each other in the virtual world where you can talk to each other, walk around, bend, throw objects and collaborate to solve the mission. With 3 missions to choose from, you and your team of 2-4 players will travel back to historical periods of time such as ancient Egypt and the moon landing to solve the challenges and save the world! In our latest mission, you even get to BE the zombies and fight for your survival! Guaranteed no motion sickness unlike inferior VR experiences (e.g. ones where you are sitting down or using poor quality VR headsets). Fun for all ages (no gore or horror) - friends, families (ages 10+), birthday parties, kids’ parties, hens/bucks night

We took our team of nine along to the virtual room. It was so much fun and mind blowingly cool. Once you've been set up, and the first virtual room appears, I can tell you that I felt as though I was actually in a futuristic spaceship with views out to all the out lying futuristic cities. The challenges are incredibly fun and great for team morale, as you need to help each other to achieve the goals and move to the next level. I can't wait to go back and do the next challenge! Even the gloves are rigged to give you sensory pressure and vibrations. Highly recommended.

We recently got engage at Expedition Sydney! My girlfriend and I have been doing escape rooms since we first got together and I thought it would be a good surprise. The staff was amazing and definitely went above and beyond to make the proposal a truly memorable one. They opened the room over the holiday period especially for us!!!!! A special thanks to Lindasay, Damien and Lee On who worked behind the scenes to organize and make things run smoothly. We also really enjoyed the room – good puzzles with mechanical locks which we much prefer compared to locks and keys.
