Why an escape room works for a girls trip

Competitive about absolutely everything.

Every group has the organiser, the one who reads every clue out loud, the one who finds everything by accident and the one who just wants to try every combination on the padlock.

An escape room puts all of that in one room with a clock on the wall, and the roles everyone has played for years come out almost immediately.

Win or lose, the debrief lasts longer than the room did.

The friend who said she was hopeless at puzzles solves the last one.

What an escape room is like

Locked in, clock running.

An escape room usually means a themed room, a set amount of time, and a chain of puzzles and clues the group solves together to get out before the clock runs down.

  1. The door closes.

    A quick briefing, then the clock starts and everyone talks at once.

  2. Clues everywhere.

    Codes, keys, hidden things and at least one clue that turns out to be decoration.

  3. The last minute.

    Everyone shouting numbers at whoever has the padlock.

  4. Two friends hugging in a kitchen

    Then make it a weekend.

    Book it, then pick a girls weekend in your city, with somewhere to stay, the food, the drinks and where to next, already in an order that works.

What kind of girls group an escape room suits

The competitive ones.

It suits the friend who’s brilliant at trivia nights, and the one who’s never been allowed to hold the map.

Friends in their fifties cheering in a group selfie

The competitive ones.

A clock, a goal and bragging rights.

The puzzle people.

Codes, keys and clues to argue over.

The group that needs a laugh.

Nothing is funnier than watching your friends panic at a padlock.

Every age at the table.

From the twenty somethings to the friends who’ve been to every birthday since school.

A milestone birthday.

A game everyone remembers who won.

Friends from different chapters.

Nothing breaks the ice like solving something together.

Real girls trip reviews

In their own words, exactly as written.

Two women in sunglasses taking a selfie on a city street

I am normally the spreadsheet person.

Colour coding, confirmation numbers, addresses, reminders, who owes what. The lot.

On Saturday afternoon I realised I hadn't looked at my spreadsheet since we arrived.

Growth.

Nicole, 37

Not tacky. Not "girls just wanna have fun" cringe. Not trying to turn us into influencers.

Just a very, very good weekend with my friends.

Thank god.

Tahlia, 25

A game, or a whole girls weekend

Play it, then keep going.

Plenty of groups book a game and have a brilliant hour. Then everyone’s on the footpath arguing about the last clue, working out where to go next.

A My Ultimate weekend is the whole thing in one booking: somewhere to stay, something to do built in, the food, the drinks and where to next, so the day turns into a weekend together.

Somewhere to stay, already in it.One living room for the getting ready, the debrief and the morning coffee.
One front door at the end of the night.Everyone heads home to the same place, still arguing about the last clue.
