ABOUT US

Hi, my name is Sean Wilson and I own and operate Padlockd Escape Rooms. As a graduate of Queensland University of Technology with a focus on Technical Production, my journey into the world of escape rooms began when friends invited me to one. Intrigued, I delved into the realm of themed rooms, hidden clues, and challenging puzzles.

​

What started as a personal fascination soon evolved into a full-fledged passion. I envisioned escape rooms that went beyond the ordinary, with immersive experiences featuring sound effects and mood lighting.

 

Transitioning from smaller business ventures to the grand scale of escape rooms, and with the guidance of mentors, I successfully launched Padlockd Escape Rooms in March 2018.

 

Over the past five years, my team and I have crafted 27 unique escape rooms, consistently expanding our offerings. With a dedicated staff of 50 locals, Padlockd has become a sought-after destination for captivating experiences, drawing in both Gold Coast residents and tourists. Beyond entertainment, we actively engage with the local community through events and sponsorships.

 

My staff and I welcome you to Padlock'd to come and escape reality with us.
