## Evolo Room Escape – Hobart: What to Expect at Hobart’s Original Escape Room

If you want an escape room in central Hobart that’s built for puzzle-solvers (not just jump scares or cheap props), Evolo Room Escape – Hobart is one of the most established options in the city. Evolo describes itself as Hobart’s original escape room experience, first opened in 2016, and it operates as an independent Tasmanian creator with two sites (Hobart CBD and Moonah).

This guide focuses on the Hobart CBD venue at:

– Address: 187 Campbell St, Hobart TAS 7000, Australia
– Coordinates: -42.874897, 147.324396 (provided)
– Type: Escape room center (provided)
– Rating: 4.9 (provided)

## Quick facts that matter before you book

### It’s private-booked (you won’t be paired with strangers)
Evolo states their bookings operate on a private basis—even if you book only the minimum participant number, the room is entirely yours.

### Booking is essential, and hours can shift based on sessions
Evolo publishes “opening hours,” but also notes they’re variable and determined by booked sessions, and that the bookings page is the most reliable source for availability.

Published opening hours (Hobart venue):
– Monday: closed
– Tuesday: closed
– Wednesday: 3pm – 10pm
– Thursday: 3pm – 10pm
– Friday: 3pm – 10pm
– Saturday: 10:30am – 10:30pm
– Sunday: 10:30am – 6pm

### Pricing is set per team (Hobart 60-minute rooms)
For the 60-minute rooms at Campbell St (Hobart), Evolo lists these team prices:
– 2 participants — $89 per team
– 3 participants — $114 per team
– 4 participants — $139 per team
– 5 participants — $164 per team
– 6 participants — $189 per team
– 7 participants — $214 per team (only available in Obscura)

Note: Evolo’s pages show this pricing structure, but they don’t specify currency on the FAQ snippet shown. The business is Tasmania-based, so it’s commonly AUD, but I’m not going to assert that as certain unless the page explicitly states it.

## The three Hobart escape rooms (themes + player counts)

Evolo lists three 60-minute rooms at the Hobart site.

### Secrets of the Jungle (2–6 players, 60 minutes)
Premise: You’re looking to recover an ancient relic tied to a missing researcher named Sherwood Bloxham, solving challenges he left behind in a jungle setting.
– Game length: 60 minutes
– Players: 2–6
– Location: 187 Campbell St, Hobart

### Obscura (2–7 players, 60 minutes)
Premise: A painting has been stolen from Haven Gallery by former artist-in-residence Leslie Stenhouse. Security footage shows the painting moved to his studio/exhibition “Obscura,” and he has since disappeared—leaving a note addressed to former colleagues.
– Game length: 60 minutes
– Players: 2–7
– Location: 187 Campbell St, Hobart
– 7-player note: Evolo states 7 players is only available in Obscura.

### Defusal (2–6 players, 60 minutes)
Premise: You’ve been called to a start-up called Ignyyyte (spelled with three Ys). A bomb has been placed in the break room, and the “bomb defusal expert” has been replaced by a chatbot—your team must work with it to defuse the bomb.
– Game length: 60 minutes
– Players: 2–6
– Location: 187 Campbell St, Hobart

## Practical logistics: getting there, transport, and parking

Evolo’s Hobart venue is on Campbell Street, and Discover Tasmania describes it as about a 10-minute walk from Hobart CBD, accessible by bus, with a nearby bus stop outside a Woolworths on Campbell Street. It also notes street parking nearby.

Because those specifics come from a third-party listing (not Evolo’s own site), treat them as directional rather than guaranteed—especially if you’re visiting during events or peak periods.

—

## Cancellation and rescheduling (the details people miss)

Evolo’s stated policy:
– With 48+ hours notice, they’ll provide a reschedule code or move your booking to another available time/date, with no fees.
– With less than 48 hours notice, an administration fee applies depending on what you booked ($49 for an escape room, $99 for Space Race).

That “admin fee” detail is easy to overlook when plans change—especially if you’re coordinating a group.

—

## Inclusivity and accessibility notes (what’s confirmed vs unknown)

What I can state confidently from the sources:
– The Hobart location is listed in a heritage-listed building on Discover Tasmania and Hobart & Beyond.
– Evolo encourages group experiences for families, colleagues, and social outings (their own positioning).

What I cannot confirm from the sources I reviewed:
– Step-free access, lift availability, wheelchair suitability, hearing/vision accommodations, sensory considerations, or accessible toilets.

If accessibility matters for your group, the most factual advice is: contact Evolo directly and ask about the specific room and entry setup (because heritage buildings can have constraints). Evolo lists phone 0438 550 441 and email [email protected].

## Data freshness and what might be outdated

A few pieces of info are clearly time-sensitive:

– Opening hours are explicitly described as variable and dependent on bookings. Always verify your date/time via the booking system.
– The Discover Tasmania listing appears older (it shows “Published: 3.7 years ago” in the page metadata), so treat its transport/parking notes as potentially dated.
– A regional tourism listing (Hobart & Beyond) shows it was updated 3 December 2025, which suggests the basics like address/contact are likely current. and Beyond

## If you’re choosing between the three Hobart rooms

Here’s what’s strictly supported by Evolo’s own room descriptions:

– Want 2–6 players with an adventure narrative → Secrets of the Jungle
– Need to bring 7 players in Hobart CBD → Obscura (the only one that allows 7)
– Prefer a modern/comedic “tech start-up” setup with a bomb-defusal hook → Defusal

## Key takeaways

– Evolo Room Escape – Hobart runs three 60-minute rooms at 187 Campbell St: Secrets of the Jungle, Obscura, and Defusal.
– Bookings are private (your group only), and booking ahead is essential.
– Group pricing is published per team, with Obscura the only Hobart room that supports 7 players.
– Some third-party listing details (walk time, bus stop, parking) may be helpful but could age; check current conditions when planning.

If you want, paste the two internal RealJourneyTravels URLs you want to prioritize (e.g., a Hobart city guide + a Tasmania itinerary). I’ll weave them in contextually without making any assumptions about your site structure.
