Horror against adventure
Escape This tags each room in ER-OS as horror or adventure. Put the open rooms in those two piles and the gap is the single biggest pattern in the data: horror rooms let out 50% of teams, adventure rooms 65%.
Age limits are part of the story. Most horror rooms are 15+ or 18+, so they never see the family groups that many adventure rooms welcome from age 9. The comparison is between two different crowds as much as two kinds of room.

Escape This in numbers: the questions
How many games has ER-OS logged across Escape This?
ER-OS, the booking and game system Escape This runs on, has logged 64,716 escape room games across the five Escape This centres as of 25 October 2026, 28,916 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.
What percentage of teams escape an Escape This room?
59% of all logged games across Escape This end with the team out before the clock runs down: 38,224 escapes from 64,716 games. In 2026 so far the figure is 66%, so roughly three teams in five get out.
How long does a winning team take, on average, across Escape This?
A team that escapes takes 52:21 on average across every Escape This room, measured in minutes and seconds from ER-OS. Almost every room is 60 minutes, so most winners use a little over 50 of them; in 2026 the average is 52:04.
How many clues does the average team ask for at Escape This?
The average Escape This game uses 5.3 clues across all rooms and centres (5.2 in 2026). The range is wide: Asylum at Escape This Sydney CBD averages 8.4, while Zombie Apocalypse at Escape This Melbourne CBD averages 2.
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.
Are more teams escaping Escape This rooms in 2026 than before?
Yes. The Escape This escape rate for 2026 so far is 66%, against 59% over all logged games, and 5 of the 5 centres are running at or above their own all-time rate this year, so it is not just one centre’s mix.
Which state has the hardest Escape This rooms?
Western Australia, clearly. Escape This rooms in WA have a 51% escape rate over 43,558 games, against 75% in New South Wales and 85% so far in Victoria. Northbridge’s horror rooms are the main reason.
Which Escape This centre has the lowest escape rate?
Escape This Northbridge, with 42% of 16,930 games ending in an escape. The next-hardest Escape This centre is Escape This Perth CBD at 56%, a gap of 14 points.
At which Escape This centre do teams escape most often?
Escape This Manly: 95% of its 2,641 logged games end in an escape. Escape This Melbourne CBD is next at 85%. Both have logged far fewer games than the Perth centres (2,641 and 893), so their figures move faster.
Are horror escape rooms harder than adventure rooms, going by Escape This data?
On average, yes. Across open Escape This rooms, horror-tagged rooms have a 50% escape rate over 25,701 games; adventure rooms have 65% over 38,778. The hardest adventure room, High Noon at Escape This Perth CBD, still sits among the horror rooms near the top of the difficulty table.
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.
How many five-star reviews do the Escape This centres have?
At least 17,969 across the five Escape This centres, from an ER-OS average of 4.95 out of 5 as of 25 October 2026. Escape This Sydney CBD has 6,628 and Escape This Northbridge has 5,272.

Which Escape This room has been played the most?
Entombed at Escape This Perth CBD, with 3,289 games logged in ER-OS. Wizard's Chamber at Escape This Sydney CBD is second with 3,021. These are logged games, not lifetime plays, so long-running rooms may have more history than ER-OS shows.
