If you are looking for a great family bonding activity, I highly recommend Time’s Up Escape Rooms in Wanneroo. An Escape Room is a real-life, puzzle-solving adventure game, where you and your team are locked in a room and immersed in a fantasy scenario – to get out, you have to find clues, solve puzzles and work together to beat the clock.
At Time’s Up there are four different rooms to choose from – we did the Grinchmare Before Christmas, which was perfectly themed for kids.
Upon arriving we were greeted by the friendly staff, after checking in we had a rundown of the rules, given elf hats so we could dress the part and told our mission. Given the theme, I was expecting it to be easy, but I was wrong. We had 60 minutes to restore Santa’s factory and save Christmas. We quickly learned, the trick to escaping is to be open-minded, observant to what you see in the room, willing to try every possible solution and working as a team!
The staff at Time’s Up are following your progress through the cameras in the room, you have the option to ask for a hint any time by waving to the camera – there is no limit of clues and you do not get a time penalty.
While I won’t share the details on how we escaped, I am happy to report that WE SAVED CHRISTMAS… only just! But we did it!
Booking an Escape Room experience is easy, you can book online or call 0426372273. Games cost $22 for children under 15 and $35 for adults.
This was our first Escape Room experience, we will definitely be back again, we cannot wait to try the other rooms!!!
