At the moment, Escape Manor offers two unique experiences to work your way out of. The Asylum challenges patrons to get out of the super-creepy Ward 13 before a mad scientist ghost shows up, and The Covenant requires escapees to fight their way out of an office where a shady soul-selling deal was made. Light bites, drinks and brain-teasing puzzles are available in the lounge for pre and post-escape discussion and revelry, because who doesn’t need to unwind after running away from haunted spirits? Both a Gallery and a Wine Cellar Escape room are in the works, as well as a licensed bar for those who need a little Dutch courage.

Originating in Canada, the Escape Manor concept has made its way to Brisbane through a hands-on ownership group led by locals Peter and Kelley Courtney. The duo’s combined 60 years’ experience in entertainment, hospitality, and business has lent itself well to Escape Manor, a world-class entertainment experience that offers something outside the norm. This is something to keep in mind next time your boss suggests a team-building activity – we guarantee that this is a heck of a lot more fun than dorky trust exercises.

Do you have what it takes to get out in time? You can make bookings at Escape Manor through the venue’s official website.
