It’s one of the best. Pirates is rated 6 out of 10: the clues are mostly in plain sight and the work is connecting them. First-time crews and switched-on kids do well, and it’s the most escapable room at Escape This Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD.
Perth CBD: $49 adult and $39 child Monday–Thursday, $59 and $49 Friday–Sunday. Sydney CBD: $55 and $45 Monday–Thursday, $65 and $55 Friday–Sunday. Children are under 16, and those prices exclude public and school holidays. Melbourne CBD uses peak and off-peak pricing: $59–$65 per adult and $45–$55 per young adventurer.
Pick Perth, Sydney or Melbourne on the booking page, choose a session and you’re confirmed straight away. You can also phone Perth on (08) 6118 0286, Sydney on (02) 9173 8535 or Melbourne on (03) 7078 8118.

Yes, on every day except Saturday, when crews need at least four. In Perth or Sydney, a pair can still phone the venue on a Saturday or walk in and take a free slot if there is one. The room works well for two.
Yes, in Perth CBD or Melbourne CBD, where both run: escape the galleon, then follow Calico Jack to his island. Pirate Island also opens at Sydney CBD in November 2026, so Sydney crews will soon be able to play both.

Pirates holds eight at most. Split the group and book a second room at the same start time. Pirate Island in Perth, Melbourne or, from November 2026, Sydney makes a natural pairing, since both halves of the crew end up fighting Calico Jack.
Yes. Escape This gift vouchers cover Pirates at every venue and are sold on escapethis.com.au, which makes them an easy present for a pirate-mad birthday.
No. Pirates bookings are always private. Your crew has the galleon to itself.
Two to eight players at all three venues, with a minimum of four on Saturdays (in Melbourne, Friday and Saturday evening peak sessions). The cap of eight doesn’t bend.
