Packs will be handed out from 48 Lake Street once the hunts return.
In short: Escape This Northbridge at 48 Lake Street, Northbridge, is one of five starting points for the Packhunt return in mid-2027. Perth’s original Packhunt collection point and the start line for Lost in the City, named again for the return. Games, prices and team sizes haven’t been announced.
Lake Street is in the middle of Northbridge’s food and bar strip, roughly a six-minute walk north of Perth Station, with paid parking in the City of Perth car park on Aberdeen Street.
Lost in the City was Perth’s Packhunt. Players became newly landed visitors on a mission, picked up their pack in Northbridge and solved their way past the CBD’s sights before finishing somewhere in the city. It was pitched at families as well as adults. Its return hasn’t been announced.
No. Packhunts are not running at the moment, and the old Packhunt booking pages aren’t taking sessions. Escape This has confirmed the hunts return in mid-2027; until then, its indoor escape rooms are the nearest thing to a Packhunt.
Escape This says Packhunts return in mid-2027, across all of its cities. No exact launch day has been set, so keep an eye on this site or join the Escape This coming-soon list to hear when Packhunt bookings open.
Packhunts are set to return from all five current Escape This centres: Perth CBD and Northbridge in Western Australia, Manly and the Sydney CBD in New South Wales, and Melbourne CBD in Victoria. Each centre is expected to be a starting point; individual Packhunt routes haven’t been released.
The booking method for the 2027 Packhunts hasn’t been announced. To hear first, register on the Escape This coming-soon page, or call your nearest Escape This centre on the number listed on this site’s Packhunt start-point pages.
In Perth, Packhunt teams picked up their packs at Escape This Northbridge, 48 Lake Street, and walked south into the CBD. The old description of the Perth route named WA Museum Boola Bardip, Yagan Square, London Court and Elizabeth Quay among its stops.
That was part of the idea from the start: because Packhunts left from Escape This centres, teams were encouraged to book an escape room before or after their hunt. With the return using the same five centres, pairing a Packhunt with a room should be simple again, although no bundles have been announced.
They were a regular choice. Hens and bucks Packhunts started in nightlife precincts such as Northbridge and The Corso, so the group could head straight to a bar afterwards, and The Buckens was written for a combined party. Whether party packages come back in 2027 is still to be confirmed.
Join the Escape This coming-soon list and you’ll be told about the games, the routes and the day Packhunt bookings open.
