The Manly room is not wheelchair accessible. It has no crawling, tight or confined spaces.
The Perth CBD room is wheelchair accessible and popular with players with limited mobility. A few puzzles may be harder to reach from a wheelchair, and the room can take one wheelchair per session.
The Dunny is equal parts creepy and hilarious rather than a horror room. Expect fading light, periods of darkness, the odd jump scare and plenty of outback humour, but no crawling, confined spaces or smoke effects. Families play it all the time.
You get 60 minutes in The Dunny. Arrive 15 minutes before your start time and allow about 15 minutes afterwards to debrief, so the whole visit takes up to 90 minutes.
