F . A . Q

Is Ukiyo an escape room? Is it VR? Is it live theatre? What is it? How do we win??

  • Our rooms are narrative-based interactive experiences inside physical set pieces.
  • Each of our worlds has a cast of interactive characters who you influence.
  • At Ukiyo your goal is not to win, it is to understand.
  • The more immersed you allow yourself to become in the story the more meaningful your experience will become.
  • There will be puzzles to solve, but also friendships to forge. The journey is the reward.

How many players can we have?

  • The Crumbling Prince can have 2-5 players 
  • Deep Space can have 2-6 players
  • On weekends and public holidays we require a minimum of 4 players for bookings. *On the Thursday immediately before each weekend however, any available slots will become open for 2 and 3 players.
  • If you have a group of 2-3 players and wish to play on a weekend, you can join our waiting list by emailing us at ukiyoau@gmail.com

 

If we have too many people what are our options?

  • If you have more than 6 players we can split your group across both of the rooms at the same time. Please give us a call or email us and we’d be happy to arrange a session for your group.

 

Are the rooms suitable for children? 

  • Without parent supervision we recommend a minimum age of 11
  • With parent supervision we cater to guests as young as 6

Do you have to play both episodes on the same day? 

  • No, you do not have to play both episodes on the same day
  • We recommend taking a break between your games if possible, to give you time to reflect.

What is your cancellation policy?

  • Last-minute cancellations (less than 48 hours) and no-shows will not be eligible for a reschedule.
