New Sydney escape room business - IceBreak Escape Room

Hi everyone

I recently learned that a new escape room business has opened in Sydney, by the name of Icebreak Escape Room.  They are located at Suite 3, Level 8, 428 George Street, Sydney.  

I sent them an email and one of the owners, Rose came back to me and has answered some of my questions about her business (to help me write this post).

Rose worked in an escape room as a part-time job for 2.5 years and she found it to be a really good industry to work in.  So, together with her husband and 2 friends, Rose decided to start their own business. 

Icebreak opened back on 1 October 2020.  They have 3 room themes, the summaries of which are below:

1.   Silent

There was once a famous fortune-teller who lived in an older cabin.  As long as you give him enough gold coins, he would answer all your questions.  However, one day, the old cabin became deathly quiet.  Now, you are in front of Mr Slient's old cabing seeking to know your own future...

Duration: 60 mins  Capacity:  2-5 people  Difficulty 3/5

2.   X-Case

In an abandoned factory office, there was a mysterious murder.  Police searched this area and have no clue.  So they called you as a detective to help.  You came to the factory, but found things are far from a simple murder case.

Duration:  60 min   Capacity:  3-6 people   Difficulty:  3.5/5

3.   Vanishing

Recently a young architect has been reported missing after receving a large inheritance.  His concerned friends have come to you for help.  Will you be able to find out what has happened?

Duration:  80 mins   Capacity: 2-10 people   Difficulty:  4/5 

 

Rose describes their rooms as being very story-based and largely linear in design.  They have brought the rooms to Australia from China, but have changed approximately 30-50% of each of the rooms to fit the style of the Australian escape room market.  Rose also told me that their rooms are always evolving, as they learn from their customers' experiences and feedback. 

My team and I will hopefully get over to Icebreak soon and as always, I will post my reviews here.

Thanks

Scott
