Packs will be handed out from The Basement, 712–720 Hay Street Mall once the hunts return.
In short: Escape This Perth CBD at The Basement, 712–720 Hay Street Mall, Perth, is one of five starting points for the Packhunt return in mid-2027. A new home base for Perth packs in the shopping heart of the city, with routes still to be revealed. Games, prices and team sizes haven’t been announced.
The centre sits below the Hay Street Mall, a short walk from Perth Underground, so a pack collected here would start in the middle of the CBD’s shopping streets.
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.
Yes. Escape This Perth CBD, in the basement under the Hay Street Mall, is one of the five centres Packhunts return from in mid-2027, alongside Northbridge. That gives Perth two places to collect a pack, though how Packhunt routes will be shared between them hasn’t been announced.
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.
Join the Escape This coming-soon list and you’ll be told about the games, the routes and the day Packhunt bookings open.
