★★★★★

Great escape room - “the dunny” was a fun afternoon out. Puzzles were tricky but not impossible, and Allegra was great - very friendly and a great host!

★★★★★

We had a blast escaping The Funny. Hannah was a wonderful game master and we finished in a nailbiter! So I'm much fun and lots of cool puzzles.

Questions, answered

The Dunny in Manly: questions

Did the Room Eight rooms have different names?

The old Room Eight site suggests so. The Dunny’s page sat at an address ending “indisposed-escaperoom”, and a blogger’s review on its media page called the room Indisposed. Hitman’s page address ended “targeted-escaperoom”, and the room was headed Targeted. Escape This Manly uses the current names only.

Which room at Escape This Manly has the lowest escape rate?

The Dunny. As of 25 October 2026, 94% of 814 recorded teams have escaped it, against 96% for Entombed and 98% for Magic School. Escape This Manly only ranks rooms with 100 or more games.

Entombed or The Dunny: which suits a group better?

Pick by mood. Entombed is a detective story with Egyptian treasure in a lamplit study; The Dunny is a comic outback survival game in a locked outhouse. Both are rated 7 out of 10 at Escape This Manly, but more teams get out of Entombed (96%) than The Dunny (94%).
