Escape This Manly
Not in Manly · 630 George Street, Sydney

Finished Manly? Next stop: Escape This Sydney CBD

Once your crew has cracked all 3 Manly rooms, the next ones are across the harbour at 630 George Street in the city: a different venue, with 10 rooms of its own.

In short: Escape This Sydney CBD is a separate venue at 630 George Street, Sydney, not in Manly. It runs 10 rooms (Cannibal, The Wizard’s Chamber, The Possession, Pirates, Kraken: Nemo's Revenge, Buried Alive, Asylum, Frankenstein Resurrection, Zombie Apocalypse and Pirate Island), so it is the natural next stop after the 3 Manly rooms; the Manly ferry to Circular Quay is the scenic way there.

Heads up: none of the rooms on this page are in Manly. They are at 630 George Street in the Sydney CBD.

Manly has 3 rooms, and keen crews get through them. When that happens, Escape This’s other Sydney venue is the obvious follow-up: Escape This Sydney CBD, at 630 George Street, with 10 rooms and none of them repeats of the Manly line-up.

It is a different flavour, too. 6 of the George Street rooms are horror, several of them strictly 18+, while the rest are adventures in the same family-friendly spirit as the Corso rooms.

Bookings, prices and leaderboards are separate for each venue. The numbers on this page belong to George Street alone and are never added to the Manly totals elsewhere on this site.

Getting from The Corso to George Street

Harbour first, then the city

  1. Walk out of 2B The Corso and cross the road to Manly Wharf: the ferry terminal is directly opposite the venue.
  2. Ride the ferry to Circular Quay. Escape This puts the crossing at roughly 20 minutes; the timetable decides how long you wait for one.
  3. From Circular Quay, head south through the city to 630 George Street. Escape This describes the venue as about a 10-minute walk from Town Hall Station, and Circular Quay and Town Hall are both City Circle stations.
  4. Book the George Street session with enough slack for the crossing; the two venues keep separate bookings, so a late ferry is not something either can hold a room for.

Travel times are Escape This’s own guidance; check Transport for NSW for live ferry and train times.
