Constructed in 1897, Atkins House, the building at 48 Lake Street in the heart of Northbridge stands as a testament to time, showcasing pre-Federation architecture from a bygone era. Over the decades, it has witnessed the changing landscapes of the city of Perth, evolving industries, and countless visitors who have walked through its doors. Today, Atkins House is home to Escape This, Australia's premier escape rooms operator, and fittingly for reasons you soon learn, host 9 totally immersive, totally terrifying Horror themes escape rooms including fan favourites The Haunting and Cannibal.

Twelve Unfortunate Souls

As you can imagine of a building that is 126-years-old, Atkins House has quite a storied past... including a darker side. For a time it was the happy family home of Perth's illustrious Atkins family, that was until 1919 when lady of the house, Mrs Emily Mary Atkins, was found dead on the property. A year later her husband died, with the property eventually being converted to a boarding house owned by a Mrs M Long. During her time of ownership the property was the site of 11 further deaths! That's 12 recorded deaths that have taken place within walls of Escape This' Northbridge venue. Some say, paranormal investigators included (watch an investigation in full, HERE) that these spirits still linger, eternally trapped and forever making their presence known by making things go bump in the night.
