1 / 2Strike Escape Rooms Melbourne Central
đ Melbourne, VIC
Strike Melbourne Central on Level 3 of Melbourne Central combines bowling, two escape rooms (The Old Haunt and Shutdown), laser tag, and augmented reality darts. On-site cafe serves pizza and burgers for longer visits.
The Old Haunt was a really fun room! Some of the puzzles were tough or it seemed the clues came too late, but I liked how it gave you more hints as you went if you got stuck. The rooms are connected, so you have to go back and forth to solve stuff, which was cool. The only thing was sometimes we weren't sure if we'd figured something out, and we wasted time trying to figure it out. Or if we were too slow, the room would just solve it for us, and we didn't know if it was us or the room. But overall, it was a great mix of old-school and high-tech puzzles. I thought it would be a basic one, but it was fun and challenging. I plan to try the other rooms at Strike!
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 10 and up who can handle escape room logic and collaborate under time pressure. The combination of bowling and escape rooms suits groups where not everyone wants the same activity. Staff quality varies â when the team is engaged, the experience is significantly better.

Overview
The venue runs two interconnected escape rooms where players move between spaces to solve puzzles â The Old Haunt is a popular choice with progressive hint delivery as you go. Bowling lanes and laser tag run alongside the escape rooms, making it workable for groups with mixed activity preferences. Staff member Lou is specifically named in reviews as elevating the experience. AR darts add a newer layer for groups wanting something beyond traditional bowling.
