We were so lucky to play Torquay and Magician’s Lair at Elude. Both are brilliantly fun games with many thrilling and masterfully constructed puzzles (and clever Easter eggs galore!!). We absolutely loved both games!

Thank you to our buddies Julia and Darren for hosting us and for creating such amazing experiences! ❤️

Like so many people around the world, we are MASSIVE fans of Valve's 2007 game Portal. Today we wanted to highlight the lead designer of this extraordinary and groundbreaking game - Kim Swift.

A legend in the gaming industry, Swift was not only responsible for Portal, but also pivotal in the creation of such games as Star Wars: Battlefront II, Left 4 Dead, and Half-Life 2. Swift is considered a pioneering figure in the gaming world, and has been an inspiration to women designers and developers everywhere.

So, on this special day, we'd like to celebrate this extraordinarily talented woman! ❤️

Happy International Women's Day, everyone!

Morty (an international hub for escape room enthusiasts) just announced the "Best of Morty awards". This year’s list honors 358 escape games and 10 haunted attractions across 27 countries.

We were incredibly excited to learn that both La Rébellion and Mr Pepper’s Toy Shop were awarded for 2025!

A massive thank you to anyone who played our games and took the time to write a review! We really appreciate your support! ❤ Congrats to all the other businesses that were awarded too. To learn more, just head to https://morty.app/

Thank you to Riddle Room Canberra for hosting the escape room owners' event this week! It was such a delight to catch up with this lovely community, and to meet some new owners too!

During the event, we got to play Riddle Room's latest game 'The Mine' and it is FANTASTIC! We really loved the set design and clever puzzles. We highly recommend that everyone check it out (as well as everything else Riddle Room has to offer!).

Thanks again to Chris, Jesse, and all the Riddle Room staff for such a fun event! ❤️

We were so thrilled to discover that Time Out Sydney has included The Cipher Room in their 2025 Recommended list!
