Escape Rooms near Camberwell
Planning something in Camberwell? Our Hawthorn venue is a short trip west, three rooms with live availability below. Below is a day around Camberwell Junction with a game folded in, the reasons an escape room fits the plan, and live times you can book now.
A day in Camberwell
Camberwell revolves around its Junction, its Sunday market and one of Melbourne's grandest old cinemas. Here is a day worth building around a game.
Camberwell Junction
Camberwell Junction, where Burke, Camberwell and Riversdale Roads meet, is one of Melbourne's premier shopping strips, more than 400 shops, wine bars and boutique eateries, plus the Camberwell Fresh Food Market for delis and produce.
The Camberwell Sunday Market
On a Sunday morning the Rotary Camberwell Sunday Market takes over the car park, Melbourne's most-loved trash-and-treasure market for vinyl, retro homewares, vintage fashion and curios. It is a Melbourne institution, celebrated in art and film.
The Rivoli Cinema
The art-deco Rivoli Cinema has been a Camberwell landmark since 1940, all grand staircase and period glamour, and it has been voted one of the world's best cinemas. Have a drink at the Nineteenforty rooftop bar or a nearby wine room after the film.
…then the escape room
The easy part: Hawthorn is a short trip west, with three rooms and live availability below.

Reasons to book an escape room near Camberwell
Whatever the occasion, there is a Rush room close to Camberwell to build it around. Each of these has its own guide if you want to go deeper.
Date night, with dinner and the Rivoli
Camberwell is made for a night out: an early room at Hawthorn, then dinner at the Junction and a film in the glorious old Rivoli, with a wine at Nineteenforty to finish. It beats dinner-and-a-movie because it is dinner, a movie and a game.
Date ideas in Melbourne → The best escape rooms in Melbourne →A Sunday out at the market
Make a Sunday of it. A treasure hunt through the Camberwell Sunday Market, brunch at the Junction, and an hour in the room. An escape room slots into about 90 minutes, so it is easy to build a full day around.
Things to do in Melbourne this weekend →Kids, teens and the school holidays
Camberwell is a leafy family suburb, and the school holidays are our busiest family window. Under-16s play with a participating adult, larger family groups split across rooms and compete, and every room runs the same 60 minutes so it is easy to plan around younger players. The Nine-Nine at Hawthorn is a family favourite.
Escape rooms for kids & families → School holiday activities →A team session near the office
An escape room puts a group under real pressure a short trip from the desks, priced by the room, with larger teams split across rooms and racing each other.
