WHAT IS AN ESCAPE ROOM?
Escape rooms are an exciting experience for people of all ages. You and your teammates will be given new identities and settled into a game where you are faced with a series of puzzles to solve using only the available items and your mind. It could be:
- Leading an expedition team into the Egyptian Pharaoh’s tomb in our Egyptian escape room
- A group of talented young people learning skills to extinguish evil and save the world in our Ancient Chinese escape room.
- A group of innocent people being attacked and locked into a strange hotel room.
- Discovering the truth about what happened in our horror escape room set in an abandoned hospital.
As you progress through the story, you will try to unravel the mysteries within and complete your goals within 60 minutes.
Based in Glen Waverley, The One Room Escape is one of the biggest and best escape rooms in Melbourne. To learn more, visit our handy FAQ, or contact us to book your escape room experience today!

TESTIMONIALS
Awesome escape room with several different rooms within the one story. Helpful and polite man running it. Slightly out of the city but if you have a car a great afternoon out
LuNewZealand
Three escape options offered at one site. We did the Egyptian one and it was was brilliant. Comes with variable endings depending on how you are shaping up. Definitely challenging and a fun way to spend time with friends.
Rose
It was a really good escape room, the staff were very friendly and nice. I was really impressed with the setup, I would go again
Justine
So much fun. Very hard to get the clues. Best to do it in a group so everybody can help out. We did the five pearls room at Glen Waverley and the owners were lovely and helpful. Could only get through three rooms. really want to go back and do it again.
Annie
Great escape room. We did the Egypt themed room, and were pretty impressed by the scale of the rooms. John the curator(?) was a great guy too, super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommended!
Jeremy
Such a great night. We went as a family and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The rooms were challenging but not over the top. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Thanks again guys for a great night.
Brett
It's a lovely clean place with a very patient owner/worker .you can go early to spend time with the many games and puzzles placed on the tables in the foyer from your childhood days. There was four of us and we didn't escape , found the room hard . There are two other rooms apperently not so hard , will defiantly return .
Leanne
This was our first escape room experience and it was AWESOME!!! Went as a family group. John was so lovely and it was really challenging. Would definitely recommend.
Amanda
Loved the host he was funny and welcoming and didn’t make us feel bad that we failed. The room was also so much fun and we loved it!
Jana
Great customer service and amazing mechanistic features. Clearly a lot of time and money has gone into this place. We had to wait a little bit as it was very busy but the timer only started once we entered the room. Will be back!
Christina
I had never been to an escape room before but i must say that The one room escape definitely made me want to go again. It was an amazing experience.
Sharon
Been here twice, for the rooms: The Legend of 5 Holy Pearls (more challenging), and Return To Thebes (balanced difficulty).
Both have very impressive props and setup would make you feel like walking into a movie set.
The owner is very friendly and helpful with the hints, so if you’re really stuck, just ask.
Yew Fong Lim
Great first time experience at The One Room Escape. We did ‘The Legend of the Five Holy Pearls' room. Puzzles were well thought-out, creative and implemented various mechanics apart from the traditional ‘lock and key’. The host was friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back!
Brendan Luu
We celebrated my son's 11th birthday with 6 of his friends and we could not be happier. We had to change the date a number of time and John was extremely accommodating. Thakns John for the adventure the kids had a ball!!
Samar Thompson
Booked here for a night out with friends. It exceeded our expectations. John is very accommodating especially when I was being annoying and changing group numbers and rooms last minute. We enjoyed Return to Thebes so much we immediately booked another room to do straight after. We have one room left to do and we'll definitely be returning.
Gemma Billingham
We had a blast at the one escape room!
John was so kind and the rooms where so thought out and cleverly put together. Thank you John! We hope to come try out one of your other rooms in the near future.
Yehudis Simons
Amazing place with most friendly staff. Our annual team building event was great fun and everyone had great fun. The rooms were fun to play and had the right amount of difficulty to suit everyone. We would go there again for sure. Highly recommended for team buildings or just some fun time with friends and family.
