FAQ

Where Convicted is up to

What kind of game is Convicted?

Convicted is a prison-break adventure escape room announced by Escape This. Your team plays inmates wrongly locked up for murder who escape their cell at night to reach the Warden’s office and find a letter proving the conviction was rigged. Its venue and opening date are yet to be confirmed.

Is Convicted scary, or more of a caper?

Convicted is billed as an adventure, not a horror room. The tension comes from sneaking through a maximum-security prison against the clock, not from jump scares. Escape This will publish age guidance for Convicted before tickets go on sale.

Is Convicted like a prison-break film?

Convicted borrows the feel of a classic jailbreak movie: an innocent inmate, a crooked authority figure and an escape planned under the guards’ noses. The story itself is original to Escape This rather than based on any film or series.

When will Convicted open?

No opening date has been confirmed for Convicted. Escape This has announced the room as coming soon, and this site will publish the date the moment it’s locked in.

Which city will get Convicted?

Escape This hasn’t confirmed a venue for Convicted. An earlier Escape This page pointed to Perth, but plans can shift, so treat that as unconfirmed. Escape This currently runs rooms in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne.

What will a ticket to Convicted cost?

Convicted’s ticket prices haven’t been announced. Escape This sets prices per room and city, so expect them to be published alongside the venue and opening date.

Are the details of Convicted final?

No. Convicted hasn’t opened, so its venue, group size, age guidance and difficulty could all change. This site separates what Escape This has confirmed from what’s still pending so nothing here goes stale.

Will Convicted be hard to escape?

Convicted’s difficulty rating hasn’t been published yet. Escape This rates each room once it’s built and playtested, so the official score for Convicted will arrive with its launch details.

Can an inmate sneak a mobile into Convicted?

Probably not. Escape This asks players to leave phones, smartwatches and cameras in a locker before a game, and Convicted is expected to follow the same rule. Final house rules will come with the booking page.

Who is making Convicted?

Convicted is an Escape This production, written, designed and built by the company’s own team rather than bought in. Escape This is Australia’s largest escape room operator, with its own escape room design studio and escape room factory.
