How a team-building booking works

Pick how much of the venue you need, tell the Escape This bookings team your numbers, and they line the rooms up so everyone starts and finishes together.

In short: There are three ways to book: one room online, a multi-room booking with matched start times for up to 60 people (priced per person), or full venue hire for up to 100 guests (hourly, two-hour minimum). Monday to Thursday is off-peak.

Up to one room's limit

One room, booked online

A single team in a single room, booked and paid online like any other session.

  • Live times on every city page
  • Pay per person at the normal ticket price
  • Booked privately: your team is never mixed with strangers
Groups up to 60

Multi-room booking

Your group spread across several rooms at one venue, with every room starting and finishing together, priced per person like a normal ticket.

  • The bookings team suggests a mix of rooms for your group
  • Synchronised start and finish times
  • 20% off Monday to Thursday (off-peak)
Up to 100 guests

Whole-centre events

Book out an entire Escape This centre for a fully customised team-building event: up to 12 experiences and up to 100 guests, planned around your group and charged by the hour with a two-hour minimum.

  • Furniture, decorations, AV systems and screens to make it yours
  • Catering options available
  • Off-peak (Monday to Thursday) hire saves up to $4,000
Step by step

From enquiry to debrief

  1. Send an enquiry

    Give the bookings team your city, preferred date, rough headcount and whether you want several rooms or the whole venue.

  2. Choose the rooms

    They suggest a mix of rooms that fits your numbers and appetite for horror, and lock in matching start times.

  3. Arrive 15 minutes early

    Teams check in, store bags and get a short briefing before the doors close.

  4. Play for up to 60 minutes

    Each team works against its own clock; game masters watch and send clues when a team asks.

  5. Photo and debrief

    Teams regroup for photos and compare times and clues — allow about 15 minutes, so roughly 90 minutes in total.

The Workplace Bonding Program

Escape This offers a complimentary Workplace Bonding Challenge with corporate bookings, available when you enquire. It was developed with a relationship expert.

Before the game, each person fills in a short Workplace Bonding Questionnaire that maps how they tend to solve problems and communicate. The escape room then puts those styles under real pressure, and the team leaves with practical pointers for working together back at the office.

Pricing

How group pricing is worked out

Multi-room bookings are charged per person: each guest pays the ticket price of the room they play, which varies by room, venue and day of the week. Monday to Thursday is off-peak, with 20% off.

Full venue hire is charged by the hour, with a minimum of two hours. The rate depends on the venue and the day; booking off-peak (Monday to Thursday) saves up to $4,000. Ask for a tailored quote with your date and numbers.

Starting prices for each room are on the capacity page and each city page.

FAQ

Booking questions

Why does an escape room make good team building?

Because the clock forces the habits teams find hardest at work: sharing what you know quickly, hearing out the quiet colleague who noticed something, and agreeing a plan under pressure. An Escape This room gives a group one goal and 60 minutes, so leadership, communication and problem-solving show up naturally — and the debrief afterwards gives everyone something concrete to discuss.

How is an escape room different from a typical corporate offsite?

Nobody sits through a presentation. Every person in an Escape This room is hands-on for the whole hour, inside a film-style set with its own story, sound and effects, and the result is measurable: did the team get out, how fast, and with how many clues. It also takes about 90 minutes, not a whole day.

Who runs Team Escapes?

Team Escapes is the team-building side of Escape This, Australia's largest escape room operator, which also runs its own escape room design studio and escape room factory in Australia. Every room your team plays was designed and built in-house, and Escape This was named Escape Room Operator of the Year in 2025 and 2026.

Is there a minimum number for a team event?

No group minimum. Most Escape This rooms run from two players, so a small team can simply book one room online. The multi-room and venue-hire options come into play once your numbers outgrow a single room; each room's own minimum and maximum are listed on the city pages.

How is a large group split between rooms?

The Escape This bookings team looks at your headcount and picks a mix of rooms whose team limits add up, then sets every room to start and finish together. Tell them if anyone wants to avoid horror or has an age or access need, and they will place those people in suitable rooms.

Can Escape This handle a company of more than 100?

Full venue hire tops out at 100 guests per Escape This venue, so for larger companies talk to the bookings team about splitting across venues or running sessions back to back. Perth is the easiest place to do it: its two venues are a five-minute walk apart.

What is a multi-room booking?

A multi-room booking spreads your group across several Escape This rooms at one venue, each team playing a different experience, with everyone starting and finishing at the same time. It suits groups of up to 60 who don't need the whole venue, and each guest pays per person as for a normal ticket.

What can be customised at a whole-centre team-building event?

Almost the whole day: which rooms run, how people are mixed into teams, start and finish times, breaks, a welcome or results reveal on the venue’s AV and screens, decorations and furniture, and catering options. Escape This can also add its complimentary Workplace Bonding Challenge for a structured debrief.

What do you get with full Escape This venue hire?

The whole venue for your group: free run of up to 12 escape room experiences for up to 100 guests, flexible furniture layouts, room for decorations, access to the AV systems and digital displays, and catering options. Escape This charges venue hire by the hour, with a two-hour minimum.

Should we book several rooms or hire the whole Escape This venue?

Book several rooms if your group is under about 60 and the event is mainly the game. Hire the whole venue if you are close to 100 people, want to decorate, run speeches on the screens, bring in catering, or want people to wander between experiences rather than play once.

Will strangers be put in a room with our team?

No. Escape This never mixes groups: a booking is private to your team, whether it is one room or twelve. Some operators fill spare places with other customers; Escape This does not.

Can every room start at exactly the same time?

Yes — coordinating start and finish times is the point of an Escape This multi-room booking. On each city page the live booking grid shows every room's sessions side by side, so you can see which times line up before you enquire.

Can we book team building online or do we have to enquire?

A single room can be booked online straight away through the live booking grids on this site or Escape This's official ticketing partner, Fever. For several rooms or a whole venue, Escape This recommends enquiring so the team can tailor the rooms and timings — use the enquiry form, email bookings@escapethis.com.au or call (08) 6118 0286.

How does Escape This price a team-building event?

Two ways. Multi-room bookings are per person, each guest paying the ticket price of their room. Full venue hire is an hourly rate with a two-hour minimum. Both vary by venue and day of the week, and Escape This gives a tailored quote on enquiry.

Is team building cheaper Monday to Thursday?

Yes. Monday to Thursday is off-peak at Escape This: multi-room bookings are 20% off, and hiring a whole venue off-peak saves up to $4,000 compared with the rest of the week.

How do we get a quote for hiring an Escape This venue?

Send the enquiry form or email bookings@escapethis.com.au with your city, preferred date, rough numbers and how long you want the venue. Pricing depends on the venue and the day, so the quote is tailored; choosing a Monday-to-Thursday date is the easiest way to bring it down.

What happens when a work group arrives at Escape This?

Your teams check in, get a short introduction to how the rooms work, and are taken to their rooms in time for the shared start. Once the door closes the clock runs; when it stops, each team has a photo taken and everyone regroups to compare how they went.

Do teams get help if they get stuck?

Yes. Escape This game masters watch every room and send clues when a team asks, so a group of first-timers still reaches the end. Clues used are counted, which gives competitive teams something extra to compare at the debrief.

Can Escape This cater our team event?

Catering options are available when you hire a whole Escape This venue. For multi-room bookings, Escape This partners with nearby restaurants and bars for food and drinks before or after the game — ask the bookings team for details when you enquire.

Can staff under 18 join an Escape This team event?

Yes, in most rooms. Only a handful of Escape This rooms are strictly 18+ (Cannibal, Asylum, Buried Alive, Meat Grinder), and many adventure rooms are recommended from age 9. Tell the bookings team about apprentices or junior staff and they will keep them in rooms that fit the age rules.

Does our team have to play a horror room?

No. Of the 48 Escape This rooms, 26 are adventures — pirates, wizards, heists, a Wild West gaol and more — and 22 are horror. Perth CBD and Manly are entirely adventure rooms, so a group that wants no scares at all can stay there.

Can a colleague who uses a wheelchair take part?

In many cases, yes — but access varies by room, because some Escape This sets include steps, narrow doors or crawl spaces. Mention any access needs when you enquire and the bookings team will choose rooms that work for the whole group.

What is the Escape This Workplace Bonding Program?

A programme built with a relationship expert that turns the game into lasting insight. Before playing, each person completes a Workplace Bonding Questionnaire about how they solve problems and communicate; the escape room then tests those styles under pressure, and the team leaves with practical strategies for collaborating back at work.
