CaidenWe played the Nemesis. It is a really challenging room. Was planning to play the Aokigahara but the staff has suggested us to try other room first as Aokigahara is really hard. Lucky that we had listen. Nemesis took us more than an hour to finish. The staff is very nice and give us some extra time. Enjoyed it very much. Highly recommended!!

A-Man90I have done Exodus and Alcatraz here. Apparently Alcatraz was the hardest room they have it requires minimum of 3 people. I found Lost australia rooms are lot different to other escape room providers because Lost Australia rooms are technologically advanced. They do use things like RFID whenever possible. Also not everything you have to do in the room is a puzzle. Certain activities will push you into a laughing fit. Exodus room was really big and had amazing use of technology. I personally found it harder than the Alcatraz. Exodus was about the story of Moses. You do not need to have any knowledge about the history but you will learn the whole story there. Remember to be very observant!
Alcatraz was about the classic Alcatraz prison escape where we have to escape the prison before the guards catch us. We loved every bit of the experience. Will return to do the other rooms.March 15, 2020

halyn_89My favourite aspect of this escape room was pressing a button at the beginning of the experience, to enter into an elevator.
The puzzles in the room had variation; for example, using movable props, interacting with technology, non-technology and the space around, working with dials and buttons, working with visuals, audio, letters and/or numbers. The format of the locks also had variation. A majority of them required entering digits into a keypad, while others didn't. Perhaps also consider traditional combination or key locks, as well as letter locks in future escape rooms if haven't done so already? I've been to escape rooms where puzzles were continuously readings on paper and opening traditional locks, so I really liked the assortment that LOST Australia Station provided in this room.
In my opinion, there were puzzles that were difficult, appropriately challenging and straight-forward but took time to complete. So this made me feel pressured, triumph and pushed me to think of alternative approaches at different times. This is what I enjoy from escape rooms particularly when you manage to escape.
There were two of us, and we were given one lantern. It would've been more convenient to find a standard torch somewhere, but this wasn't a big deal. If 3 or more people, then I think it would be better to have another portable white light - even if it needed to be found somewhere in the rooms.
When we unlocked the door in the final room, we had hoped it would open to another room for us to tackle more puzzles. We made it through in just under an hour, but the staff notified us in the last 13 minutes that we could take our time to complete the room. Maybe because there were no bookings after, but I thought this was kind of them and really appreciated it : ) It was a really good experience, and would definitely like to try out their other rooms.March 12, 2020

Cherry101010Went to escape room with 6 people total and it was pretty interesting. It wasn't a scary escape room but success rate did make sense. Although scheduled for 75 minutes, it took us 3 hours (180 minutes) to complete the escape room. The vendor was nice and also called us in advance that the escape room was difficult. Worth doing but definitely shouldn't be the first escape room to try.

Tom MThis is our first time doing this sort of thing and we loved it! We found it really challenging although we are keen to return to do better. We did the exodus room and it was really high tech and fun. The staff member was tops. She helped us out as it was our first time and she made us feel at home.

AmberFun room (Castiglione) and perfect for a first timer (my partner). We came on Saturday. The waiting room with the pool games was great!
I've done six rooms now and would suggest making the intercom more accessible - it was difficult to have to go back through the tunnel and crawl if we needed to ask a question or check how much time was remaining. Walkie talkies would work better.
Also, the host was lovely, but she wasn't watching us while we did the room (something I've not experienced in any of my previous rooms) - so if I headed back to room 1 to ask for a clue, I had to first explain/confirm which part we were up to before getting a hint (also, her accent was quite thick and it was sometimes difficult to understand what she was saying).
Overall a very good room and we would return to do anotherFebruary 10, 2020
