Why it's worth checking out

Padlockd Escape Rooms & Bar sits on Surfers Paradise Boulevard in the heart of the Gold Coast's most famous precinct. Combining immersive escape rooms with a bar, it's become one of the area's most popular attractions — the enormous volume of glowing reviews reflecting just how much fun visitors have cracking the puzzles and beating the clock.

The appeal is that combination of genuinely well-designed, immersive escape rooms and the social bonus of a bar to celebrate (or commiserate) afterwards, making it a brilliant outing for groups, friends, families and team-building. The near-perfect rating across thousands of reviews points to slick, engaging rooms and great hosting, right in the middle of Surfers.

With a 4.9 rating from more than 9,600 reviews, it's an overwhelmingly admired destination. Rooms, difficulty levels, session times and pricing vary, and the popular slots book out fast — particularly on weekends and during holidays — so it's well worth checking current availability and reserving your room directly ahead before you go, especially for a larger group.
