The story

I trust you are wondering where you are. While your location is not important, what these walls offer is: redemption, if you earn it. The furnace is already burning, and in one hour this house will ignite. You believed you were free, free from your guilt, your shame, the consequences of your lies. I am always watching. You have one hour. Find redemption, or face true justice.

Planning a birthday or corporate event?

HackSaw: Chapter 2 is one of our more intense rooms.

Each room holds up to 6, so larger groups split across rooms at South Yarra and play at the same time. For corporate team-building and group functions, see our team-building page or email enquiries@rushescapegame.com.au.

Frequently asked questions

Is HackSaw: Chapter 2 actually scary?

Yes. HackSaw: Chapter 2 is a brutal, trap-filled horror in the spirit of the Saw films. The fear comes from the set, the lighting, the sound and the story, not from anything chasing you.

Are there live actors, or does anything chase us?

No. There are no live actors, and nothing chases or follows you. Every scare comes from the set, the lighting, the sound and the story, never from a person in the room with you.

Will anything touch or grab us?

No. It is a hands-off experience. Nothing in the room makes contact with you, and you never need to touch anything you would rather not.

Can we leave if it gets too much?

Anytime. You are never locked in, the door stays unlocked, and you can step out whenever you like. Your games master watches the whole game and can pause or step in within seconds.

I get claustrophobic. Will I feel trapped?

No. You are never locked in and the exit is always available, so you can step out the moment you want to. If you would rather skip the horror, Game of the Dragon and Cluemanji at South Yarra are brighter, all-ages rooms.

Is it suitable for first-timers?

Yes. It is a solid challenge, but no experience is needed and your games master gives hints to keep every team moving.

What is the minimum age?

Parental discretion is advised for players under 15. Under-16s are welcome with a participating adult in the room.

How many players do we need?

Two to six. Larger groups can split across rooms at South Yarra and race head to head.
