ARRIVING AT TREVENA GLEN FARM

Your two hours start at Trevena Glen Farm on Winn Road, Mount Samson, a working animal farm in the green hills about 35 minutes north-west of Brisbane city. Mount Samson sits at the foot of the D'Aguilar Range, the forested ridges that wall in Brisbane's western side. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early, as sessions start on time. While you wait, look for the farm's old Moreton Bay fig, around 140 years old and a favourite picnic spot. Moreton Bay figs often begin life as stranglers, sprouting high in another tree and sending roots down to the ground.

THE ESCAPE ROOM: THE FARMER'S MISSING KEY

A staff member sets the scene. The farmer has lost the key to his prized golden egg trophy, and inspection day is almost here. Then the door closes and your team of two to six has 60 minutes to find it. Some clues sit in plain sight, others need a sharp eye, some logic and everyone pulling together. You chose your level when you booked: Beginner gives the most help and suits families with primary school children, Medium suits players who have done a room or two, and Advanced leaves you mostly on your own. Can you beat the clock?

THE PREMIUM ANIMAL TOUR

Then it's out to the paddocks for an hour with a guide who is yours alone, so you can linger with the animals you like best. Pat the alpacas and take them for a short walk. They come from the Andes of South America and talk to each other in soft hums. Lead Samson, the farm's mini horse, sit a child on a donkey for a photo, and feed the pigs, who are always hungry. Cuddle and groom the guinea pigs, say hello to the rabbits, feed the goats and sheep, then scatter grain for the hens and collect their eggs.

FINISHING WITH A DRINK

The hour ends with a complimentary drink and time in the farm's VIP areas, a good moment to compare notes on who cracked which clue and who the alpacas liked best. The farm has a café if you'd like to stay on for something to eat. From here it's an easy drive back to the city, about 35 minutes, or north to the hinterland towns of the range if you're making a day of it.

How we collect and publish reviews

Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.

Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.

Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.

(5/5)

Our family had a wonderful time. The escape room was lots of fun with great puzzles, and the private farm tour was very informative, with our daughter loving meeting all the animals.

(5/5)

A great little day trip not far from Brisbane. My partner and I did the well-themed escape room, and the staff fitted in a last-minute private booking so we could meet the farm animals. Great coffee too, and we enjoyed it as a couple among all the families.
