Horrorscape is Escape This’s guide to its own horror escape rooms: all 19 of them across 3 venues in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne, sorted by sub-genre and city, with escape rates, prices and age rules that refresh from Escape This’s booking system. Each room links to its official site where it has one.
Escape This runs 19 horror rooms as of 25 October 2026, counting every room at every venue. They are built on 10 different horror themes, several of which play in more than one city. The count comes straight from the Horror tag in Escape This’s room catalog. Horrorscape also lists The Dunny, but as a spooky thriller, not a horror room.
Because Escape This files The Dunny under Adventure, not Horror. It has a deranged villain, a deadline at sundown and a creepy outback set, so horror fans ask about it, but it plays for laughs as much as screams. Horrorscape keeps it on the thriller shelf and never counts it among the horror rooms.

Every room here is an Escape This production. Escape This is Australia’s largest escape room operator, and runs its own escape room design studio and escape room factory in Australia, so the coffins, crypts and meat lockers are designed and built in-house before they are installed at a venue.

Escape This was named Escape Room Operator of the Year in the APAC Insider Australia Business Awards in both 2025 and 2026. The award covers the operator as a whole, horror rooms and adventures alike, rather than any single room in this guide.
There is no scare meter, so it depends on your fear. Escape This has called Buried Alive its most extreme room and billed The Possession as its most terrifying, while Cannibal and Meat Grinder lean on gore and Asylum on psychological pressure. For the toughest puzzles rather than the biggest fright, Horrorscape ranks rooms by escape rate instead.
Look for a lower difficulty rating and a higher escape rate. Escape This rates The Haunting, Dracula, Zombie Apocalypse and Frankenstein Resurrection 7 out of 10, below the 8s. By the numbers, the most-escaped ranked horror rooms are The Haunting in Northbridge (51%), Frankenstein Resurrection in Sydney CBD (80%), Possession in Melbourne CBD (91%).
A cast of eight. The Northbridge Butcher keeps you in his meat locker in Cannibal, and a cook who hunts on the side runs Meat Grinder’s kitchen. The Undertaker nails you into Buried Alive’s coffins, and a cheerful voice on the intercom runs Asylum’s therapy. Cathy, a child ghost, haunts The Haunting and The Possession; Count Dracula waits on his Bride in Dracula and Van Helsing; and Victor Frankenstein wants your help with his creature in Frankenstein Resurrection.
Several are told in pairs. The Haunting is the prequel to The Possession, which sends you back into Cathy’s house a decade later. Asylum begins with survivors of Buried Alive waking up in a padded cell. Dracula and Van Helsing share one gothic story from the Count’s side and the hunter’s, and Meat Grinder is Escape This’s Melbourne take on the cannibal story it first told in Cannibal, with a different villain. Each room still plays on its own.
Horrorscape sorts the Escape This horror rooms into six shelves: supernatural (ghosts and the undead), haunted house (Cathy’s two visits), gory, serial killer, thriller (coffins, cells and labs) and classic monsters (Dracula, Van Helsing and Frankenstein). Several rooms sit on two shelves at once.
Among Escape This’s horror rooms, Cannibal at Northbridge has the lowest escape rate: 33% of 2,186 teams as of 25 October 2026. Next is The Possession at Northbridge (35%). Only rooms with 100+ games are compared.
Cannibal, Asylum, Zombie Apocalypse and Frankenstein Resurrection. Escape This has scheduled all four for its new Brisbane CBD venue in the first half of 2027, alongside some of its adventure rooms.
The Institute is a new Escape This room set in a secretive institute on a remote island, where an experiment is under way and your team’s choices steer the ending. It opens at Perth CBD in December 2026, and Horrorscape files it as a spooky thriller, not a horror room.
