Red Herring

Every Minute Matters

Exclusive to Crown Melbourne.

Red Herring is an escape room experience unlike any other. 

You, your friends, four cutting-edge Cubescape technology escape rooms and a complimentary drink to be enjoyed before or after your experience.

Every minute matters.

What is an escape room?

Imagine being immersed in a real-life mystery. That's an escape room. You become part of a story that requires you to solve riddles, piece together puzzles and crack clues. Just you, your team and fifty minutes on the clock to find the final exit and escape. 

Expect to be challenged and cheered on. Expect something testing and tricky. Expect to be drustrated and most of all, expect to have fun.

You'll have a 30 minute briefing with a cocktail, beer, wine, cider or soft drink, and warm up puzzles before you and your team are locked in your room with 50 minutes to complete the game.

Each of the Red Herring rooms is equipped with next generation AI technology.
