Will you prevail? Or will you fall prey to his cunning?

Learn more about The Killer’s Game

It started half a year ago. Michelle Monteith, a Ringwood resident, disappeared in broad daylight, leaving no trace. 3 months later it was Danielle Swanson, then Andi Dumont 2 months later. No bodies have been recovered and any leads we have are tenuous at best. It’s only been a month since Miss Dumont’s disappearance but whoever’s behind it has struck again, this time taking a young woman by the name of Teagan Jones. They’re escalating their timeline and if we don’t nail them soon, at this rate, another girl will go missing by lunch. If you’re half as good as your reputation, I know you can track down this monster down and bring them to justice. Good luck.

the dollmaker

How far would you go to bring back a loved one?

Would you sacrifice your principals? Your morals?

What if you had the ability to snatch the person you loved most from the hands of death himself? And only for the small cost of your humanity. Of course you would do it! So surely you can’t fault me for what I’m about to do to you. Your parts will help me bring her back; and I have to bring her back.

FAQ

IS THERE A MINIMUM AGE?

The age minimum requirement varies from room to room. Please see the room details/booking calendar on this website for more information. NOTE: Any participants under the age of 12 require a parent/guardian over the age of 16 in the room with them. Any participants under the age of 16 must have a parent/guardian over the age of 18 on premises for the duration of the activity.

HOW LONG DOES THE ESCAPE ROOM EXPERIENCE LAST?

Our game play is 75 minutes long, but if you’re smart cookies, or experienced escapees, you may escape faster! We also have 15 minutes before game play for “briefing” (explaining the story, giving instructions, etc), toilet stops, etc. At the conclusion of your experience, you have the opportunity to take a team photo and write your name on our sign wall. So in total, allow approximately an hour and forty minutes for your experience.

IS IT SCARY? IS IT HARD

Well, fear and difficulty are highly subjective! So what you may find difficult and/or terrifying, others may not. To make it easier to determine, there are difficulty ratings and parental advice listed alongside each room’s booking calendar. These are given as a guideline. For more information you can email timeiskeyask@gmail.com or call on 0412 979 400.

WHAT IF I'M LATE?

Regardless of what time you arrive, your session will end at the scheduled time to allow for the next group of customers. So please be punctual to ensure you can enjoy the full experience! NOTE: Refunds will not be given based on lateness, as our refund policy requires 24 hours warning.

WHAT IS AN ESCAPE ROOM?

An escape room is where a group of people get “locked” in a room for a specified amount of time and have to solve puzzles and complete challenges to escape. Players (“escapees”) have a story explained to them and rooms are designed to support this story line (as though escapees are characters in the scenario).
