Dream Constructor Escape Room

This escape room is way much better than I expected. It is beautifully made in a residential house but it surprised all of us in every level. I have been to other escape games in the city but I never would have thought we can do it in a house where it combined both mystery and darkness together so well. The host Richard designed the room all by himself and he was very friendly and happy to help when we were stuck. I cannot believe all of those hits were triggered by something we did instead of guessing a few digital numbers. There were six of us and we all puzzled and worked together. It was a great team building and fun game for a night. Very recommended. Thanks for a lovely evening! Vivien Lin

Should come with trigger warnings.First, the good stuff: the employee looking after us was amazing. Really patient and helpful.The problematic stuff: The story behind the escape room is going to be too close to home for many. These are the trigger warnings that any potential customer needs to be aware of: contains themes of caregiver burnout; violence by caregiver; relationship violence including reenacting said violence; religious imagery and themes; small spaces; darkness.The rooms are small and you are in the dark with some potentially triggering stimuli, so bear that in mind.The escape rooms are part of a larger house in a suburban area. People live in the house, so that's a bit unusual. I could smell their pet rats/mice/rabbits/guinea pigs. Also, one of the escape rooms smelt like cigarette smoke.The puzzles were too hard for us, but more seasoned players will likely enjoy the challenge.But, like I said, the personnel was great.

Really enjoyed this! The puzzles are clever and it was fun to have different mechanisms as opposed to just your standard padlocks. Wouldn't recommend going with a large group (4-5 max) as it would get cramped. We finished in an hour but did use all three clues. I quite liked the vibe in the residential house.

I think the premise was interesting, some of the puzzles had potential, but also, it's not a professional place and not very well executed. You go to the guy's house, the escape room is in a residential area and basically he had some spare space in his house and he created the escape room. You can hardly understand the voice cues because the recorded sound was TERRIBLE. Some of the puzzles had absolutely no logic to it or guides to get you there. My hubby and I have done many escape rooms and this one was just not great. I have it 2 stars for effort and story line

This escape room was OK but it doesn't seem like they have taken notice of the suggestions, as we found the same issues as other reviewers. Firstly, it is much too small for a group bigger than 4. Some of the puzzles were creative and very interesting, but only one can be solved at a time, so a small group of 2-3 people is best. Secondly, they told us it's rare for anyone to finish within an hour. They keep 2 hours aside for each booking and charge extra if you take longer than an hour. Why not just be honest and charge a little more for 90 minutes or something? Thirdly, the house really, really smells! There is obviously a pet there and it's not well-ventilated. It was worth a try but I much prefer the one in Ellerslie.

We were a bit spooked walking down a long driveway towards what looked like a cheap Bates Motel. Luckily, we were met with a lovely host and well made puzzles. The escape room itself was very good, but very challenging! Wouldn't recommend for beginners as it took us all 90 minutes of our allocated time to get through only half of the challenge, but for more confident players, this is a great activity.

This is the most creative escape room that I've ever been to, and I've been to many rooms in many different countries. Almost every single lock and challenge was creatively done and my partner and I had an amazing time. It's definitely a challenging room. The owner and creator was really nice as well. I'm looking forward to future rooms here!

This was fun! I went with my two adult children and their partners for my birthday (I didn't have to pay as it 2as my birthday, which was awesome). The puzzles were challenging and very cleverly put together, with secret doors that popped open, laser beams to activate clues and lots of other fun mechanical components. I highly recommend this as a fun activity for groups 14yrs+.

We had a great time playing as a team in this escape room game! It was very challenging and really made us think collectively as a team to solve the puzzles. The rooms were very well designed and mechanical which we thought was very challenging, would definitely recommend others to try it out!

Went there last year with 2 adults and 2 kids. Narration is unintelligible and very hard to hear. Was difficult to solve as there was no real logic between puzzles to assist the story.Based in a residential house which was a bit weird and production was lacking. We spent ages on a puzzle that required US date time entry which was frustrating. It is about 3 times the price of what it should cost imo, having completed dozens of escape rooms globally. However, the staff were friendly (+1*) and the automation and mechanics were cool.Would recommend if it was $20 a head....maybe..
