Escape @ Science Centre

Tried Shangri-la with my boyfriend today ( escape room ticket fee is inclusive of SCS entrance). It was super fun yet physically taxing so be prepared to climb and crawl. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Highly recommended for its price point!

We played all three games and had a great time! Felt there was a good mix of physical and mental puzzles and the rooms were all so pretty - production value was 💯💯 Can’t wait to see what else the team has in store and we will come back for the next one!

went today and had an awesome experience because the staff made it better!! my niece was afraid of the Dr x room. the kind staff came to fetch her and let her watched us from the monitor and he explained everything to her. so sweet. we managed to escape thanks to his help as well!! highly recommended for family :)

Played all 3 rooms: Shangri-La, Dr. X and Museum Super fun! Museum is one of the rare escape rooms where you can bring your phone …

Escape @ Science Centre though relatively new (7ish months), had several broken components/puzzles which made the experience less than ideal. The stories to the rooms are available online and if the staff narrated it before putting us in the room, the experience would’ve been much better. However, it seems like majority of the staff are not service-trained, do not understand how escape rooms are best enjoyed and would probably benefit from additional training. That being said, the puzzles are honestly quite novel and a breath of fresh air from your typical number/alphabet locks. Novelties like the use of mobile phones with cellular reception and splitting the party but requiring them to solve puzzles together was well appreciated! Entry into Science Center being included is also greatly appreciated. It’s honestly disappointing that the only way to ensure that only your group is present is by purchasing all 8 tickets for the time slot. Especially when some rooms really shouldn’t have any more than 4. This is clearly stated in the T&Cs, but it’s clear that some people don’t read it. Overall: ✅ Novel puzzles ✅ Largely beginner-friendly ✅ Free entry to Science Center ❌ Poorly trained staff ❌ Puzzles slightly broken ❌ Others may purchase tickets for the same slot as your group Specifically about the rooms: #1 Museum of Humankind: • Recommended no. of pax: max 4 • Not recommended for individuals with claustrophobia #2 Shangri-La: • Recommended no. of pax: 4 • Recommended to wear a mask, high tops or boots and don’t plan for any other activities after this #3 Dr. X: • Recommended no. of pax: max 4 • Contrary to what is expected, the person being separated from the group is in the least scary part of the escape room. Recommended that this individual has prior experience with escape rooms. • Not recommended for individuals with severe hemophobia (honestly, looks more like red paint than blood, but just putting it out there)

We did the Shang-Ri La room. Only four total puzzles, one of which wasn’t really a puzzle, and the last puzzle was broken! Complete waste of time and money, take your kids to a better escape room

Theme: Museum of Humankind - Went as a group of 6 to find out 2 others have been added to our group (We were not informed beforehand and having others you don’t know joining the same room isn’t made available on the website). - Misled by a directional sign that led us to a closed entrance, had to circle back and ended up late. - Led into the escape room without instructions on when we could begin, only realised it was so when we spotted that the obscure timer had started the countdown. - Contraption for one room wasn’t working. It could only be confirmed after the countdown ended and a staff tested it out. We were unable to try out the next room… Staff were unapologetically unpleasant and sarcastic through the entire process. Overwhelmingly disappointing experience on an off day. Do not recommend.
