This place clearly has no respect for their customers' time.
Being made to wait for 40 minutes past your booked time is utterly unacceptable.
And to add insult to injury, being told to wait upstairs with no one bothering to check on you is just downright disrespectful.
Their excuse of being "checked and waved" is a pathetic attempt to cover up their incompetence.
Save your money and sanity, unless you enjoy being treated like garbage.

We were tasked to find a killer before he found us! The theming of the room did not disappoint. We were impressed by the relevant decor and the correspondence of the clues to the plot line (which does not always happen in escape rooms). The puzzles were the challenging, but in an enjoyable way. We felt like we really achieved something when we opened the first door. Unfortunately, a malfunction allowed us to open the third door way before we should of been able to. This meant that we were exposed to clues that we were not ready for. Distracted, we skipped over several 'key' elements and were left feeling cheated. We felt we would of had a better chance if the third door had remained locked. Our game master (who we thought was amazing) apologised... we felt cheated out of the full experience. After paying a significant amount for two players, we expected it to all function correctly. Kindly, out game master gave us free bowling passes as compensation, but after reading a few reviews on this site...we found out that everyone was given that anyway. We loved the room, we loved our game master...but we did not love the overall experience. A malfunctioning door really spoiled it and should not of happened. The doors are supposed to be locked aren't they??
We highly recommend the forensic room, but just make sure that you aren't able to open the doors by pushing on them. Solve a puzzle and enter your codes first. Sad face.
It pretty much destroyed what would have been an otherwise thrilling experience.

This is a great game or form of entertainment, me and a few friends had chosen to be locked into a holding cell and had to try escape. Have to admit between 4 of us we failed to find all the clues. However now we are determined to come back and get it and give a crack at the time trial! To much fun haha.

Took my granddaughters for a game of bowling n the school holidays. We were 5here when it first opened, so easily got a lane. By the time we had completed our two games, the place was packed and a family were waiting for our lane. Efficient staff on the counter. Arcade games, escape rooms, laser tag, food and drink also available.

We were given tickets to an escape room as a gift. We did the forensic escape room.
The organization was poor and confused. We were approached by three different staff members telling us different things and ended up with a guide who was not exceedingly professional. One staff member offered us drinks and we accepted, and then our guide complained to us about having drinks because we were due in soon. So communicate across staff better? He didn’t have the personality for it at all; he was condescending, a bit passive aggressive and told us a few times that he didn’t like the escape room much.
As it was, the escape room was actually pretty fun but difficult. We hadn’t done an escape room before so we don’t have much to compare it with, but the puzzles were good if tricky at times.
We enjoyed it enough to want to try more escape rooms but next time would choose somewhere different with hopefully better customer service.

The Outer Space Escape Room was booked as a Father's Day gift, to be enjoyed by daddy and daughter. They had a great time!!! The whole experience was tougher than they expected, but so much fun.
The staff member who prepped them for the room was engaging and entertaining, making the experience super fun before they entered the room.
Not a yucky, scary, or frightening room at all. Perfect for families with kids.

You walk into Strike and it's lit.
Music up to date place looks neat and there's not just bowling but laser tag, Exitus, Bar, pool tables and arcade games. Been a hand full of times and tried it all. Will be back literally tonight for a game of boring with the boys. Thank you Strike !

Strike, hence the name, is a 10 pin bowling alley. It is extremely professional and is set up exceptionally. They have a cafe there which sells very nice pizza. Definitely come here.
