The lab’s lead scientist never left the building. She watches every team on the cameras from a storeroom upstairs, and writes it all down. Newest notes first.
In short: Written from a storeroom above the abandoned lab of Zombie Apocalypse, these made-up notes follow Dr Morrow as strangers finish her cure in Northbridge, Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD. Nothing in them spoils a puzzle, and each note links to the real room facts.
Zombie Apocalypse is a 60-minute horror escape room designed, built and run by Escape This, playing at Escape This Northbridge, Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD. Its story says a virus has overrun the world and the scientists of the last lab chasing a cure fled when a horde broke in, leaving one infected test subject in a failing containment chamber.
Dr Morrow is fiction written by Escape This for this site. She imagines one of those scientists never left; her name, her storeroom and the name Gerald are the notebook’s own inventions. No real scientist, laboratory or outbreak is described, and no puzzle is given away.
Gerald’s real-world paperwork lives elsewhere on this site: the two-to-four team limit, the 15+ rule, ticket prices and how many teams finish the cure are all drawn from Escape This’s live booking and game records, refreshed with every build.
A comic, made-up notebook kept by Dr Morrow, the scientist who ran the abandoned lab in Zombie Apocalypse and now hides in its storeroom, watching teams finish her cure on the cameras. Each note grumbles about a real part of the game, such as the 15+ rule, the haze or the four-player limit, and sits beside the real room facts and a booking link.
No. The Zombie Apocalypse story says the lab’s scientists fled when the horde broke in; Dr Morrow is Escape This’s invention for this notebook, imagining that one of them never left the building. She, her storeroom and her name for the test subject, Gerald, exist only in the notes. The facts beside each note, such as ages and team sizes, are real.
Not a drop of it. Dr Morrow talks about her vials, her chamber and her subject in the same broad strokes as the Zombie Apocalypse story, but she never writes down a step, an answer or where anything is kept. Your team can read every note and still walk into the lab knowing nothing useful.
The openings. According to Escape This’s booking records, Zombie Apocalypse first ran at Escape This Perth CBD from 18 January 2024 to July 2024, opened at Escape This Northbridge on 31 May 2024, at Sydney CBD on 31 October 2025 and at Melbourne CBD on 28 August 2026, and Dr Morrow’s notes for those days carry those dates. Every other date is the story’s own.
Roughly monthly. New Lab Notes appear on their dates through 2027, each on a different part of Zombie Apocalypse, from arrival times and English reading to panic buttons, wheelchair access and the Brisbane lab, so there’s usually a fresh note from Dr Morrow when you come back.
Book Zombie Apocalypse in Perth, Sydney or Melbourne. Two to four of you, one subject, sixty minutes of power.
