Escapade Escape Rooms
Step into Victorian secrets with Heirloom Ballarat's haunted escape room. Solve puzzles, uncover dark histories, and beat the clock in this immersive paranormal adventure.
Escapade Escape Rooms is an escape room venue located in Ballarat Central, Victoria. Specialising in immersive, themed one-hour escape room experiences, Escapade offers three distinct rooms: Heirloom Ballarat, Dr Skinner's Office Ballarat, and Panic! At The Escape Room Ballarat (4 person max). Each experience places a small team into a carefully staged scenario where solving puzzles, uncovering clues, and completing objectives within a sixty-minute time limit is the central challenge.
Heirloom Ballarat explores haunted antiques and artefacts, inviting players to unravel supernatural secrets hidden in period objects. Dr Skinner's Office casts participants as detectives investigating the eerie office of a controversial psychologist linked to a series of crimes. Panic! At The Escape Room delivers a high-adrenaline scenario focused on rapid problem solving under pressure and is explicitly limited to four players to maintain intensity and balance.
The venue emphasises clear safety briefings, staffed game masters, and structured session management to create consistent, controlled experiences. Booking details, session times, and capacity notes are published alongside each room listing and should be consulted before arrival. The Ballarat Central location offers convenient access to local transport and amenities, making Escapade suitable for locals and visitors alike.
These experiences are suited to friends, families with older children, small corporate groups, and escape-room enthusiasts seeking varied themes and mechanics. Descriptions here reflect factual information from the venue's published experience summaries and listings. Contact and booking details are available through the venue listing and The Adventure Collective entry for up-to-date session availability and pricing and reviews.
