Latest reviews of challenging escape rooms in Melbourne
**🌲 "Escape Room: Forest of Confusion" 🌲**
⭐☆☆☆☆ (1 star, because zero isn’t an option)
Ah, where do I begin? Probably somewhere around the time I walked into a "forest cabin" escape room that had about as much forest in it as a concrete parking garage. Spoiler alert: there was no cabin either — unless you count a sad IKEA shelf and a fake plant giving up on life in the corner.
The puzzles were masterclasses in confusion. Think less "clever riddles" and more "cryptic gibberish left by a sleep-deprived raccoon." There were no instructions, no clues, no helpful nudge in the right direction — just pure, uncut bewilderment. Starting the first clue was like trying to find WiFi in a cave: technically possible, but mostly filled with disappointment and crying.
One sign did stand out though: *“Don’t pull the leaves.”*
Naturally, we pulled the leaves. Nothing happened. That, as it turns out, was the most interactive moment in the entire experience.
In short: If you enjoy feeling like you're being pranked for 60 minutes while surrounded by sad décor and cryptic chaos, this is your Disneyland. Otherwise, maybe just go for a walk in an actual forest — it’s more immersive and you might even learn something.
Escape? I barely escaped with my dignity.

This escape room isn’t for the faint hearted. I would recommend at least 4 players minimum. However puzzles are confusing and complicated. Recommended for experts for sure. I definitely will be sticking to difficulties 3 or less from now on
