Tough. Escape This rates The Possession 8 out of 10 and calls its puzzles intermediate: layered and complex, yet tuned so a sharp team isn’t left stranded for long. It rewards groups who already have a few escapes behind them; a team of total beginners will find it a steep first night.
It’s a big ask. Escape This suggests The Possession for groups where at least some players have done a few escape rooms, because of its 8/10 rating. A brand-new team usually has a better first outing in an easier room, then returns for the sequel once it knows how escape rooms work.
Northbridge: $49 a player Monday to Thursday and $59 Friday to Sunday. Sydney CBD: $55 Monday to Thursday and $65 Friday to Sunday. Melbourne CBD: $55 for off-peak sessions and $65 at peak. The Possession is 15+, so there’s no child rate, and in Perth and Sydney the midweek price doesn’t apply in public or school holidays.

Most of the week. The Possession takes pairs except at peak times: Northbridge and Sydney CBD want four or more on Saturdays, and Melbourne CBD wants four on Fridays from 4pm and Saturdays from midday. In Perth and Sydney a pair can still ring on the Saturday or walk in and grab any spare slot.
Split up. The Possession caps every team at eight and Escape This won’t bend that, so bigger groups book a second room to start at the same time. In Northbridge, The Haunting is an obvious companion; for work groups and larger events, Team Escape organises multi-room bookings.

No. Every booking for The Possession is exclusive to your group, a policy Escape This has held from the start. Nobody you don’t know will be in Cathy’s house with you.
Yes. Escape This gift vouchers cover The Possession in Northbridge, Sydney and Melbourne and are sold on escapethis.com.au. Just make sure the lucky recipient is 15 or older, because the age rule still applies on the night.
Escape This has promoted The Possession for exactly those nights, as well as birthdays and date nights. Up to eight horror fans fit in one session, nobody under 15 can join, and anyone who has been drinking will be turned away, so keep the celebratory round for after you get out.
From two to eight. The Possession runs with as few as two at quieter times and never more than eight, with a four-player minimum at each city’s peak times.
