CRYPTORIUM

Our team is local to Bendigo, and we dream of bringing people together to enjoy our escape room experiences and social events while indulging in a variety of beverages and sweets from our café!

We are located in the heart of Bendigo, and offer a unique space that combines adventure, coffee and socialising - not just an escape room, but an 'unlocked' moment to share with friends new and old.

After a stressful day at work, a special occasion or just your ordinary day, our escape rooms and social gathering services offer a chance to escape stress and make memories.

"Our vision is to be Bendigo’s hub for adventure, connection, and relaxation. We blend escape rooms, quality coffee, and social gatherings to inspire creativity, foster teamwork, and create unforgettable experiences for all."

Additionally, our party and function services can make your celebration even more adventurous, special and unique.
