Narrow Escape Rooms is owned and operated by Shelley, Craig & Kit, a local family who are also parents, Penrith locals and escape room enthusiasts. When we completed our first escape room (we failed), we excitedly sat around for hours afterwards talking about our experience. After a few more experiences around Sydney & Melbourne, we started talking about what our escape room would look like until we decided to take the leap and start one.
Kit has an electronic trade and has been interested in electronics ever since she was a kid helping her dad fix arcade machines.
Craig is an IT Systems Engineer who loves 4 wheel driving, camping, fishing, playing Xbox and escape rooms. Craig & Kit have designed and created all our escape rooms and puzzles.
Shelley loves to play games, her first job was working in Timezone (a games arcade), she brings with her experience in administration, human resources, finance & social media.
Supported by the rest of our family we are pleased to have opened Narrow Escape rooms in Penrith, Western Sydney, the adventure capital of NSW.

Did the Inheritance room. With a 30 something percent success rate was ready for a challenge (and slightly worried we would fail) but the puzzles flowed well together and we smashed it. Really clever mechanisms and multiple puzzles being able to be completed at the same time allowed us to divide and conquer then come together for others.
Would highly recommend Narrow Escape Rooms for your next challenge!
We did the inheritance. Fun room. Has a bit more of a home made feel than others, but better puzzles and stories than some more commercial rooms. The games master Jake was friendly and the one hint he gave didn’t give the puzzle away but pushed us in the right direction. Recommend!
Had an awesome time. Very well put together with lots of challenging puzzles. Big thanks to Jacinta she was awesome and a very good game master. Will be returning to do the other 2 rooms.
Had a blast and Andre was extremely helpful and super friendly
Had a chat afterward where we discussed the embarrassing moments we had with some of the puzzles but all in all had an amazing time
Probably the best escape rooms I’ve been to! We did Launch and it was challenging enough to pick our brains but not impossible, all of my teammates including beginners and veterans to escape rooms loved it. Jake was a great game master and orientated us so well which set us up for success. Would definitely do it again if I’m in the area!
My husband and I did all 3 rooms at Narrow Escape. Each one had great puzzles and concepts which were challenging but enjoyable at the same time.
I hope to see more rooms in the future and we will definitely be there to support.
INCREDIBLE ESCAPE ROOM EXPERIENCE. We did Undetected and Inheritance back-to-back. The production value of these rooms is phenomenal. We’ve done over a dozen escape rooms and this was by far the best.
My group did the inheritance room and the Narrow Escape Rooms. It was so much fun! The age ranges we had were 14-33 year old. Everyone was able to participate and contribute to solving the puzzle. Highly recommend!
We were a group of 5 ranging in age from teens to in their thirties and this was so much fun! I hadn’t ever done an escape room before but everyone else in our group had and they all agreed it was a good one and I had a lot of fun as a first timer. Great set up, challenging but also fun and rewarding. Can’t wait to go again when they have another room for us to try.
OMGGGG! we had so much fun. The staff gave us clear instructions, was very helpful and friendly. Will recommend to all my friends. Can’t wait for the next room to be built
Amazing!!! Having never done an escape room before Narrow got me hooked. The staff were super friendly, booking was easy and we ended up doing all 3 rooms in less than a month. We’ll worth the visit!
Absolutely unreal, have done a few escape rooms in the past. Nothing compares to the detail that’s been put in. Overall 10/10 Escape room: Undetected.
Absolutely awesome. We booked this for my daughter’s 13th birthday party and they all had a fantastic time. Shelley and the team were super encouraging (and patient) to help the girls “escape”. Very professional and a highly recommended experience.
Our group of 4 had an amazing time doing the Undetected escape room. The puzzles were changeling but nothing team work couldn’t over come. Fun and interactive, imaginative theme. The instructions and instructors were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back and purchasing one of their box escape games aswell 🙂
As good as it gets! We did Inheritance room – fun, challenging and exciting! Highly recommend. Shelley and the team there are absolutely fantastic. Perfect hints and perfect post-play walkthrough. The whole experience was 5 star and up there with the absolute best of our escape room experiences around the world. Thank you! We will be back
It was overall an awesome experience! I’m sorry if I’m saying his name wrong but Jesse was really great and accommodating! 10/10 experience.
Very good puzzles and friendly service. Clever design and great service for all your needs
Great escape rooms and a lovely place! Did the Inheritance and the Undetected escape rooms and had a ball, the puzzles had logical flow, were very creative and were a delight to do.
We love having a local escape room company who are not only so close, but are SO good! We have completed Inheritance and Launch as a family of four, and have really enjoyed the flow of the rooms, the puzzles, the opportunities for teamwork and those ‘aha’ moments. After completing over 80 rooms as a team, Inheritance is in our top 5. We can’t wait to try out the new room soon, as we’re sure it will be just as excellent!
Highly recommend these guys for a fun night out. It was awesome to see people enjoying the job they do.
We’ve done all 3 escape rooms now, and each one is different but just as fun and challenging. Definitely recommend it!
