Yes. The Undertaker sketches Murder Van at length in his diary, and Murder Van’s own story names its killer, the Night Locksmith, as The Undertaker in a new disguise. It is a concept horror escape room Escape This is developing in the same serial killer series, destined for Escape This Northbridge in late 2027.
Death Row is a horror escape room in development at Escape This, presented as picking up where Buried Alive left off. Its villain, the Keeper of the fictional Ironwood Penitentiary, is The Undertaker in yet another disguise, and in his diary he has been sketching the room since 2021. Death Row has no venue or opening date yet.
Only loosely. Asylum follows on from Buried Alive, so story fans may enjoy the coffins first and the padded cell second. Cannibal and Meat Grinder stand alone. Every one of The Undertaker’s rooms makes sense on its own, so the best order is whatever is playing near you.
Eighteen. Buried Alive, Asylum, Cannibal and Meat Grinder are each set to a strict 18+ limit in Escape This’s booking system, at every venue, and staff may check ID from anyone who looks under age. There is no child ticket and no exception with a parent. Age rules for Murder Van and Death Row have not been announced.
No. Buried Alive’s and Asylum’s rules say under-18s can’t come in as spectators, and the 18+ limit applies to everyone who enters Cannibal and Meat Grinder too. If your group includes teenagers, ask the venue to suggest a room with a lower age rule rather than bringing them along to wait.
Buried Alive takes 2 players; Asylum takes 2–4 players; Cannibal takes 2–6 at Northbridge and 2–8 at Sydney CBD; Meat Grinder takes 2–8 players (four minimum on Saturdays). Buried Alive is never more or fewer than two, because there are two coffins. Team sizes for Murder Van and Death Row have not been announced.
Per-player prices start from $59 for Buried Alive, $49 for Asylum, $49 for Cannibal and $55 for Meat Grinder, according to Escape This’s booking system. Prices are per player and vary by day and session; the booking page for each room shows the exact price. Murder Van and Death Row have no prices yet.
40% of 5,399 Buried Alive games, 54% of 6,511 Asylum games, 27% of 10,820 Cannibal games, 39% of 105 Meat Grinder games have ended in an escape. Escape This rates all four rooms 8 out of 10 for difficulty. Figures come from Escape This’s game records, as of 10 November 2026.
It depends on what scares you. Escape This calls Buried Alive its most extreme room, because you play lying in a coffin in the dark. Asylum leans on psychological pressure, while Cannibal and Meat Grinder lean on gory settings. Murder Van, still a concept, is described as claustrophobic, intense, extreme horror.
Buried Alive and Asylum. Buried Alive is played lying inside a coffin 200 × 70 × 50 cm, and Asylum includes crawling and tight spaces. Cannibal and Meat Grinder have no crawling or confined sections. Murder Van, still in development, is described by Escape This as claustrophobic by design.
Yes, two of them. Cannibal takes one wheelchair per session at Northbridge and Sydney CBD, and Meat Grinder takes one per session in Melbourne CBD; a few puzzles are harder to reach from a chair. Buried Alive and Asylum are not wheelchair accessible. At Northbridge, Cannibal is downstairs behind a step-free gate that staff open with advance notice, so call the venue to plan a visit.
They are a big first step. All four rooms are rated 8 out of 10 for difficulty and Buried Alive is meant for experienced players, though gamesmasters give hints whenever you ask. Newcomers may find Cannibal or Meat Grinder the gentler way into The Undertaker’s world, since both take bigger groups and have no crawling.
At three Escape This venues. Escape This Northbridge (48 Lake Street, Perth) and Escape This Sydney CBD (630 George Street) run Buried Alive, Asylum and Cannibal. Escape This Melbourne CBD (259 Collins Street) runs Asylum and Meat Grinder, with Buried Alive due from 1 March 2027.
Two, all at Escape This Melbourne CBD, 259 Collins Street: Meat Grinder, which plays only in Melbourne, and Asylum, which opened there on 3 October 2026. Buried Alive is booked to join them on 1 March 2027. Cannibal does not play in Melbourne; Meat Grinder is the city’s cannibal room.
Yes. Escape This plans to open Asylum and Cannibal at its new Brisbane CBD centre in the first half of 2027. Exact dates, prices and the venue address will be announced when bookings open. Buried Alive and Meat Grinder have not been announced for Brisbane.
Yes, by booking each room separately. Northbridge and Sydney CBD each run Buried Alive, Asylum and Cannibal under one roof, and Melbourne CBD runs Asylum and Meat Grinder. Remember Buried Alive takes exactly two players, so a larger group might split between the coffins and another of The Undertaker’s rooms.
Through each room’s official page. The Undertaker’s diary doesn’t sell tickets; the rooms page here links to buriedalive.com.au, asylumescape.com.au, cannibalescape.com.au and Meat Grinder’s page on horrorscape.com.au, and to each venue’s booking page on escapethis.com.au, where live session times and prices are shown.
Murder Van is a concept horror escape room in development at Escape This. Players will be trapped in a serial killer’s van with 60 minutes to escape; it is described as claustrophobic, intense, extreme horror and is destined for Escape This Northbridge in late 2027. Its date, price, team size and age rule are not announced.
That Death Row is a horror escape room in development, set on the condemned wing of a fictional prison and billed as following on from Buried Alive. Its venue, opening date, prices, team size, age rule, difficulty and running time have not been announced, and The Undertaker’s diary never guesses at them.
