Escape This in numbers

How many games has ER-OS logged across Escape This?

ER-OS, the booking and game system Escape This runs on, has logged 51,932 escape room games across the five Escape This centres as of 24 October 2026, 15,169 of them in 2026. That count starts when each room’s games began being recorded in ER-OS, so it is not a lifetime total.

How many rooms does Escape That measure?

Escape That tracks 41 open Escape This rooms at 5 centres, plus 12 retired rooms kept in the archive and 7 rooms ER-OS lists as announced. 37 of the open rooms have the 100 games needed to appear in a ranking.

Which state has the hardest Escape This rooms?

Western Australia, clearly. Escape This rooms in WA have a 49% escape rate over 36,619 games, against 74% in New South Wales and 86% so far in Victoria. Northbridge’s horror rooms are the main reason.

How many players has Escape This hosted?

Escape This says it has hosted more than 500,000 players. Escape That does not add up a player total of its own: ER-OS reports player counts per room group, the same figure for every copy of a room, so summing them would count the same players several times.

Who publishes Escape That?

Escape That is the statistics site of Escape This, built on its own ER-OS records. Escape This is Australia’s largest escape room operator, and runs its own escape room design studio and escape room factory in Australia. APAC Insider’s Australia Business Awards named it Escape Room Operator of the Year for both 2025 and 2026.

Hardest and easiest

What is the hardest Escape This room in Australia?

Cannibal at Escape This Northbridge, going by escape rate. Only 28% of its 1,865 logged games end in an escape, the lowest of the 37 Escape This rooms with 100 or more games. The Possession at Escape This Northbridge is next at 31%.

Which five Escape This rooms are the hardest to escape?

By escape rate, among Escape This rooms with 100+ games: 1. Cannibal, Northbridge (28%), 2. The Possession, Northbridge (31%), 3. High Noon, Perth CBD (32%), 4. Zombie Apocalypse, Northbridge (33%) and 5. Buried Alive, Northbridge (33%). Four of the five are in Northbridge.

Which Escape This room do the most teams escape from?

Pirates at Escape This Melbourne CBD has the highest escape rate among ranked Escape This rooms: 99% over 138 games. Magic School at Escape This Manly follows at 97%. A room with a high rate can still be tight on time, so check its average winning time too.

Is a low escape rate the same as a hard room?

Mostly, but not entirely. Escape rate measures how often teams beat the clock, and Escape That uses it as the difficulty ranking because it is the one measure every room shares. It also reflects who books a room: horror rooms with 18+ age limits draw different groups from family adventures at Escape This.

Most played

Which Escape This room has been played the most?

Entombed at Escape This Perth CBD, with 2,824 games logged in ER-OS. Bank Heist at Escape This Perth CBD is second with 2,539. These are logged games, not lifetime plays, so long-running rooms may have more history than ER-OS shows.

Times, records and clues

Which Escape This room needs the most clues?

Asylum at Escape This Sydney CBD averages 11.2 clues per game, the most of any ranked Escape This room and about 2.1 times the national 5.3. Hitman at Escape This Perth CBD is next at 8.4.

Where do Escape This teams ask for the fewest clues?

Zombie Apocalypse at Escape This Melbourne CBD, at 2 clues per game, the lowest among Escape This rooms with 100+ games. Clue counts depend partly on how each room’s game hosts offer help, so compare them within a centre where you can.

Which games count towards an Escape That leaderboard?

A game counts if ER-OS logged it as an escape and its date falls inside that room’s run at that Escape This centre. Times dated before a room opened, such as the 2001 dates in some records, or after it closed, are left off the top ten.

Brisbane

Are there Brisbane escape room statistics on Escape That yet?

Not yet. Escape That only publishes numbers that ER-OS has logged, and no Escape This games have been played in Brisbane. The first escape rates, winning times and leaderboard entries will appear after the centre opens in the first half of 2027.

Which rooms are coming to Escape This Brisbane CBD?

Escape This has announced Pirates, Captain Nemo, Wizard’s Chamber, Cannibal, Frankenstein Resurrection, Zombie Apocalypse and Asylum for Brisbane CBD. Each already runs at another Escape This centre, so the Brisbane page shows their current escape rates as a guide.

Where will the Escape This Brisbane centre be?

Escape This has said only that the centre will be in the Brisbane CBD; no street address has been published. Escape That will list the address, phone number and map link once Escape This announces them.

Will Brisbane be Escape This’s first Queensland centre?

Yes. Escape This currently runs centres in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne only, so Brisbane CBD will be its first in Queensland. Escape This has also said Queensland plans include what will be the state’s largest escape room centre.

Retired rooms

Which Escape This rooms have been retired?

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.

What happened to The President’s Briefcase?

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.

Why do most retired Escape This rooms show no numbers?

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.

How the numbers work

How does Escape That calculate an escape rate?

Escape rate is games escaped divided by games played, as logged in ER-OS, rounded to the nearest whole per cent. For a centre, a city or Escape This as a whole, ER-OS combines the underlying games first, so a busy room counts for more than a quiet one.

What does a dash mean in the Escape That tables?

A dash means there is nothing to report yet: no games logged, so no escape rate, winning time or clue count. Escape That never shows 0% for an Escape This room with no games, because 0% would mean teams played and none escaped.

What does “2026” mean in the Escape That tables?

The 2026 columns cover Escape This games logged since 1 January 2026, the period ER-OS returns for its year view. All-time columns cover every game ER-OS holds for the room. Both refresh together each time the site rebuilds.

Why are the game counts lower than on the old Escape That site?

The previous Escape That site drew on an older system and quoted lifetime play counts, for example 10.4K plays of Bank Heist at Perth CBD. ER-OS holds fewer games for that room (about 2,500), because it only counts games logged in ER-OS. Every figure here comes from ER-OS so Escape This rooms are compared on one basis.

How does Escape That handle rooms with a 45-minute limit?

Shorter rooms are marked wherever times are compared. Telephone at Escape This Perth CBD has a 45-minute limit, so its average winning time and records look quick next to hour-long rooms; the fastest page names the quickest 60-minute room separately.

How often are the Escape That numbers updated?

Every page is rebuilt from the public ER-OS feeds on a schedule, and each shows the date of its data; the current figures are from 24 October 2026. Between refreshes the Escape This numbers on the page stay as they were at that date.

Using the data

How should I cite Escape That figures?

Cite “Escape That (escapethat.com.au), Escape This statistics from ER-OS, 24 October 2026” and link the page the number came from. Every answer on the site has its own #link, so a quoted Escape This figure can point at the exact question.

Where do the Escape That numbers come from?

From ER-OS, the system Escape This uses to book and run every game, through its public, read-only feeds: the leaderboard feed for games, escapes, times and clues, the room catalogue for which rooms run where, and the review summary for ratings and review totals.
