AN ADDICTION to escape rooms is leading a Redbank Plains family to fill their house with the puzzles.

An escape room involves people being ‘locked’ in a room and having to use interactive elements to solve a series of puzzles to escape.

Keziah Jarrett said there were about four escape room businesses in Greater Brisbane, but some DIY on their home added to the tally.

“My husband and I started doing them years ago and got hooked,” Mrs Jarrett said.

“We were looking for something to do on date night and we could have done rock climbing or something like that but we came across escape rooms.

“We also bought an escape room board game and were playing it one night when my husband said he would give up his spare room downstairs to have one (an escape room). We started building it within week.”

Their first escape, the menacingly named The Executioner’s Toolshed, is open for business.

The Jarrett’s are also making the finishing touches to their garage, which they are turning into an “enchanted forest” escape room.

“The appeal of them is that it is an adventure. It is different and interesting,” Mrs Jarrett said.

Seraphim Escape is an escape room adventure game. Two-six people enter a themed room and have one hour to solve the clues, unlock the locks, and be free. Cost is $120.

The business is at 456 Redbank Plains Rd, Redbank Plains.
