Manifestation on George Street

In short: The house spreads to Sydney. The Possession opened at Escape This Sydney CBD, 630 George Street, on 25 October 2024 (Escape This’s booking system). The Sydney story opens in an abandoned building, and the room takes one wheelchair and has no crawling.

Friday, 5.30 pm, Sydney time. I have followed the entity across the continent. The Possession has opened in Sydney, on George Street, behind a frontage so ordinary that I walked past it twice. That is how they get you.

The Sydney telling begins differently, staff say: a rotten old building left empty behind the glass towers, the sort of place everybody has heard of and nobody has checked. Then you are inside, and it is her house, and she is every bit as pleased to see you.

Notable: a team went in tonight with one member in a wheelchair. Staff explained that the Sydney house takes one wheelchair per session and has no crawling, though a few puzzles sit awkwardly for a seated player, so the team shares them out. In Perth the house is upstairs and the answer is no. The entity has made adjustments for Sydney. Fascinating. Possibly building regulations.

Meter reading on George Street: constant beeping. Noreen, on the phone, pointed out that I was standing beside a tram stop. I have moved six metres to the left.

FAQ

What this file answers

Does the story change in the Sydney and Melbourne houses?

Only the opening. In Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD, The Possession begins in a decaying building that has stood abandoned behind the city’s glass towers, a place you wrote off as rumour until you were shut inside. The fate to avoid is identical: ending up as one more piece of Cathy’s collection.

Which Possession venues can take a wheelchair?

Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD, one wheelchair per session at each. Some puzzles are harder to reach seated, and in Melbourne one or more chambers may be out of reach depending on the mobility aid. The Possession at Northbridge isn’t wheelchair accessible, and the team there can suggest an accessible room instead.
