The start of the experience really wrecked it for me. The staff member was very enthused, would rather be somewhere else. No direction given, just lead in and given a pretty crap 30 sec blurb before having to watch a video on escape room etiquette which we couldn't hear as the audio was stuffed. So by that staff my friends who hadn't done an escape room before were looking at me like 'WTF!'

So the puzzle itself was not too bad, very small room however. Pretty good tech , some of the puzzles were a big vague or loosely relevant. So I can't complain to much at the room itself, just the wrapping around which really ruined it for me. Hence two stars. How bout some enthusiasm, get your guests hyped up!

Extremely unhappy is a nice way of putting it. One star is being generous.

I booked and paid a deposit last Thursday for a friend and I to have a try at 6pm Saturday night. I was driving from Kuranda and my friend was driving from Atherton. At 5:28pm on Saturday I received a text (not even the decency to call) stating the following:
Hi Adam, you have booked an escape room at the Cairns Riddle Room this evening? It is with great regret that I inform you we have just performed our daily check of the props & one of them is not working to standard. We would like to offer you a refund or alternatively we can reschedule until sometime tomorrow.

Now I understand that the unexpected can happen. That's part just of life. But, to only send this half an hour before we were due to be there is just unacceptable . Upon receiving this text, I called to ask if we could possibly try one of the other rooms as the next day didn't work for us. But that was a no.

Also, I'm not sure of her name but the lady I spoke to on the phone didn't really seem to care much at all that we had traveled to Cairns specially for this.

I prefer to do things in person, so we went to the location only to find that it was all locked up.

I later called back and requested my deposit to be returned. Which they agreed to.

I won't be wasting my time with this place again.

We did this escape room today and had a great time. My wife and I have done heaps of escape rooms before, and this was one of the best. A bit different to normal escape rooms but that makes it even more of a challenge. The host was great and made us feel very welcome and supported us as required. The clues/puzzles/equipment all worked and there were some very cool/unusual puzzles. Very happy with our experience here and I would have no hesitation recommending this place to anyone else. 😃👍

Absolutely not worth the money. $162 for 6 people. Aircon was not working and it was hot, main equipment for clues out of batteries so time wasted, host rude when asked to fix. No starting clues. Host didn't seem to want to be there or have us there. Clues took way to long to come through.. clues weren’t riddles but colour related. Only 1 room and it was tiny. Don't waste your time and money. Would of preferred to of stayed in bed.

Absolutely not worth $80 for two people. Half of that would be excessive. We have done many escape rooms and this is the worst one we've experienced. Host didn't seem to want to be there, and her clues pointed us in the wrong direction. Explanation of the game was in small print on a sign on the wall. Only 1 room and it was tiny. Don't waste your time and money.

Great 60 minutes of teamwork. First time doing this activity, but was heaps of fun for those who enjoy challenging themselves. Would recommend for family with kids over 10 years old.

Had a great time with Will and his mate escaping the riddle room. Well put together. Perfect for a wet day when visiting the north. Makes for great conversation and bonding. Hope to do it again with a room change.

Lovely and helpful staff, great entertainment!
We came to Cairns just for few days and as it is in city center it suits for tourists very well.
Best for 2-6 people in all ages. No experience required!

Idea of riddle room was to find hints to lock yourself out of the themed rooms.
