Escape This rates Dracula 7 out of 10 and describes it as a challenging room for experienced escapers. The puzzles take deep thinking and careful reading of the hunter’s notes, so a group with a few rooms behind it has the best chance.
On paper, slightly. Escape This rates Van Helsing 7.5 out of 10 against Dracula’s 7, with intermediate-level puzzles. Brand-new escapers are best mixed with someone who has played before; for a team of complete beginners, Escape This points to Pirates or Magic University in Melbourne first.
Sixty minutes in Dracula’s graveyard. Arrive 15 minutes beforehand and leave 15 minutes after to catch your breath and debrief, so the whole visit takes about 90 minutes. Teams that beat the Count finish a little sooner. Van Helsing also runs for an hour.
Dracula costs $49 per player Monday to Thursday and $59 per player Friday to Sunday at Escape This Northbridge. Everyone pays the same because everyone is 15 or over, and those prices exclude public and school holidays.
Van Helsing is $59–$65 per adult and $45–$55 per young adventurer aged 13 to 15, depending on whether you pick a peak or off-peak session. The Melbourne booking calendar shows each session’s price before you pay. Dracula in Perth has separate prices.
Open the booking page, decide between the Count’s crypt in Northbridge (Dracula) and the hunter’s catacombs in Melbourne CBD (Van Helsing), then tap a free time; the calendar locks it in on the spot. You can also phone Northbridge on (08) 6118 0286 or Melbourne on (03) 7078 8118.
Never. Every Dracula and Van Helsing booking belongs to your group alone, a policy Escape This has always kept. If you would rather face the Count with people you have never met, you’ll need a different operator.
Dracula takes ten at most and Van Helsing eight, and Escape This won’t stretch those limits. Split the group and book a second room to start at the same time; Escape This Northbridge runs eight other rooms. For work events and very large groups, Escape This’s team-building hub can plan several rooms at once.
Yes. Escape This gift vouchers, sold on escapethis.com.au, can be spent on Dracula in Northbridge or Van Helsing in Melbourne, which makes a night in the crypt an easy present for the horror fan who already owns every edition of the novel.
Four to ten. Dracula’s minimum is four because some puzzles need several people working at once, and ten is a firm ceiling. Van Helsing in Melbourne is different: two to eight players, with at least four on Friday and Saturday evening peak sessions.
