4. Expedition Sydney

With some of the best-themed escape rooms in Sydney we’ve seen in our quest so far, Expedition Sydney in both Redfern and Gladesville is an awesome location for your next family bonding session.

Their Forgotten Son room involves the following scenario: "The sun is low on the horizon on your return trek in the High Country. As the cold starts to bite you notice a faint smell of wood fire lingering in the air and a flickering flame can be seen between the haze in the distance. Seeking shelter you make your way towards the light where you come upon an old wooden, rusty, tin house. The sounds of a sobbing child emanate from within. In sensing its distress and unable to leave the child you look for a way in."
