Archive · rooms no longer running
Rooms that have closed at a centre, with the dates ER-OS holds and where to play them now if they still run somewhere.
In short: ER-OS lists 12 retired Escape This rooms; only 2 have games logged, because most closed before their games were recorded in ER-OS.

ER-OS live data · 24 October 2026 · dates from ER-OS · How we calculate
A room retiring at one centre does not always mean the game is gone. Pirates left Northbridge and runs in three other centres; Wizard’s Chamber and Bank Heist moved the same way. Where a retired room still plays somewhere, the table links straight to its live statistics.
Dead Man’s Chest and The President’s Briefcase have their own sites in the collection, which keep their stories. Escape That keeps the numbers, such as they are.

ER-OS lists 12 retired Escape This rooms, including Hitman (Manly), President's Briefcase (Perth CBD), Dead Man's Chest (Perth CBD), Pirates (Northbridge), The Crooked Eight (Manly) and Mindcraft (Manly). Several, such as Pirates and Wizard’s Chamber, closed at one centre but still run at another.
Dead Man’s Chest ran at Escape This Perth CBD from 11 January 2024 to 23 November 2024, according to ER-OS. It has no games logged in ER-OS, so Escape That has no escape rate for it; deadmanschest.com.au keeps its story.
The short-format President’s Briefcase closed at Escape This Perth CBD in December 2024, and an earlier Northbridge copy closed in December 2023. It returns in Melbourne in April 2027, redesigned as The President’s Bunker.
No. Hitman closed in Manly on 6 December 2025 after 204 logged games and a 90% escape rate. It still runs at Escape This Perth CBD, where 55% of 1,766 games end in an escape.
Most retired Escape This rooms appear to have closed before ER-OS began logging their games, so ER-OS holds their opening and closing dates but no games. Escape That shows a dash for those rooms rather than a zero, because a zero would suggest nobody ever escaped.
