About this tour
When Sarah from our BugBitten team hit The Escape Game at Fashion Place in Murray, she found a puzzle-solving setup that's bright and engaging rather than spooky. You're locked into a themed room with your group for an hour of problem-solving, codebreaking, and teamwork. The venue sits right in the shopping precinct, so it's easy to tack onto a retail run or grab a bite nearby. Allow 15 minutes before to get briefed and 15 after for photos and wind-down — the full experience runs closer to 90 minutes than a solid hour of gameplay.

What to expect
You'll turn up early to meet your team and get a thorough briefing on the mission and how the puzzles work — this sets the tone and means no one's scrambling confused. Once locked in, you've got an hour to spot clues, crack codes, and unlock the next stage. The room design avoids jump-scares and dark corridors; instead you're problem-solving in well-lit spaces that feel fun rather than stressful. Sarah said the pacing works — there's always something to try next, and the difficulty scales so beginners and veterans stay engaged.
After the hour, staff walk you through what you missed (there's usually something) and you get proper time to snap photos and debrief with your mates. It's the kind of activity that actually gets people talking and laughing afterward, not just relieved it's over.
Good to know
Escape games are a solid indoor option when weather's rough or you want something different. This one skips the horror-movie aesthetics, so families with kids, older guests, and mixed-confidence groups all have a genuine shot at enjoying it. No crawling through vents or solving obscure riddles — the puzzles make sense once you find the clues. It's wheelchair accessible and pram-friendly, which rules out a lot of escape rooms.
You're indoors in a locked room for an hour, so if you're claustrophobic or prone to feeling trapped, it might feel tight even if it's not dark. The experience leans on teamwork, so a group of complete strangers needs good communication. Fashion Place itself gets busy on weekends, so parking and entry can be slow.
Arrive 15 minutes early. Wear comfy clothes — you'll be moving around and bending to check things. Group sizes typically range from 2 to 8 people. Peak times are evenings and weekends; weekday mornings are quieter.
