The Possession Horror Escape Room Melbourne CBD

Melbourne's spookiest escape room! You can experience The Possession at Escape This Melbourne CBD.

Escape This is conveniently accessible via public transport, with a short walk from Flinders Street Station and plenty of street and paid parking options nearby.

Come on down to Escape This and brave Melbourne's most terrifying haunted escape room... if you dare!

The Possession has a difficulty rating of 8 out of 10.  With complex puzzles, the focus is still on fun, interactivity, and immersiveness... but with some added challenge thrown in for good measure. The Possession provides an outstanding balance between completing the game without too much frustration and giving players a thrilling experience. 

Highly recommended for date nights, bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate events, and team building activities where you really want to put your team's problem solving skills to the test. Learn more about our difficulty levels here.

The Possession has been designed for adults with a tense and sometimes gory horror theme. Therefore, it is not suited to children and is restricted to 18 years and up only.

The easiest way to book The Possession is through our online booking widget. 

Our website shows live availability and all bookings are confirmed immediately. It's the quickest and best way to secure your desired time slot.

At Escape This, all bookings are exclusive to your group. This has always been (and will remain to be) our policy before, during and after Covid.

If you want to be locked in a room with a group of people you have never met before (some people do!) then we recommend you try another escape room experience provider.

Absolutely, if you want to book multiple escape rooms, including The Possession, to start at the same time. Please use our multi-room booker.

You will be able to see availablilities, and book accordingly for all the rooms in our Melbourne CBD Escape Room Center.

You certainly can, it is a popular thing to do! Whatever you choose to wear please wear closed footwear and, ideally, something that is comfortable to move around in.

You'll have one hour to escape from The Possession. We recommend you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled start time and if you allow for 15 minutes afterwards, to catch your breath and debrief, your whole experience will last around 90 minutes. 

If, however, you are amongst the lucky few that escape The Possession with your sanity intact then your time with us may be a little shorter! 

The maximum group size that The Possession escape room can accomodate is 8 people.

Our group limits are set to optimise gameplay and ensure a truly immersive experience for all our guests. Fortunately for you, it is company policy to never compromise on your gameplay experience so these limits are NOT flexible! 

If your group is larger than 8 players we suggest that you book multiple rooms to start at the same time and split your group across the rooms. Thus ensuring the very best experience for everyone in your group.

Spoken cues and clues are a key element of our escape rooms. Presently, these cues are only available in English, though we are working towards multi-language options. To ensure the best escape experience in the meantime, we recommend that the majority of your player group should be fluent in English.

The Possession is a challenging room with intermediate level puzzles. Ideally, if this is your first escape room, other members fo your group will have played a few rooms before. For a group of purely first time escapers we would recommend trying Pirates or The Wizards Chamber.

Like all escape rooms, The Possession is a controlled lighting environment. It may feature periods of complete darkness and/or flashing lights. Similarly, you might experience confined spaces and/or jump scares during your escape. If you have any concerns or questions, please raise these with our Gamesmasters at check-in.
