An escape room is a great way to do something a little out of the ordinary with your friends.

If you’ve never been to an escape room before, you’re in for a treat. An escape room is a game in which a group of people are locked in a room. In order to escape the room, the players have to solve a series of puzzles in a limited amount of time. Each room has its own set of puzzles and riddles that you must solve to get into the next room until you ultimately finish the game by escaping from the final room.

The puzzles are usually based on a theme, and players must work together to uncover clues and solve the puzzles to escape. It’s a fun but challenging way to spend time together with your friends, especially if you and your group are looking for something that’s a little more outside the box. 

If you’re having a hens party in Sydney and want to plan an activity that’s challenging, fun, and different, an escape room is the way to do it.
