Escape Room Melbourne<\/h2>\n\t

One of the best-known escape rooms in Melbourne’s CBD is, in fact, Australia’s oldest mystery game facility – Escape Room Melbourne (ERM)!<\/p>\n

Set up by 2 designers with PhDs in psychology, ERM has been offering a truly unique team activity to Melbournians since 2014.<\/p>\n

Their original facility at Flemington had just one escape game – “Escape Room,” in which you have to unlock the mystery behind a locked room abandoned for fifty years.<\/p>\n

They’ve since expanded, opening up new locations like one at Yarra Street where you can test your skills of deception against a magician and investigate suspicious goings-on in an old mine.<\/p>\n

How to get there?<\/i><\/b> They mention on their website that both their locations are near tram and train stops, so availing of public transport may be convenient.<\/p>\n

When did Escape Room Melbourne open?<\/i><\/b> ERM first opened in 2014 in Flemington. It gave Melbournians a whole new idea of just how much fun indoor activities can be!<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
