A noodle run, a storm and a floor that isn’t on the directory. How every Hitman night begins.
The contract
Hitman is one room with one story, and it is a short one: a wet night in Midtown, a lift that stops where it shouldn’t, and an office belonging to people you should never meet.
Everything else on this site is the Club’s: the people around that building, the diaries they keep and the stories they tell about floor seven and a half.
Part one
Midtown, a wet night
It was meant to be a quiet night: rain on the neon, takeaway from the Lucky Noodle, home by eleven. Somewhere above the city, an electrical storm was building.
Part two
Halfway up the building the power surged, the lift shook and ground to a halt, and both the 7 and the 8 lit up on the panel. When you levered the doors open, you were between floors, in an office that isn’t on any directory: maps on the walls, cash on the desk, and an Employee of the Month plaque for an organisation called Assassins Anonymous.
Part three
Escape This Perth CBD · Hay Street Mall
Their best man is out on a contract tonight, and he doesn’t take kindly to visitors. Keep a cool head, work as a crew and find the way out of the lair inside sixty minutes, before the Hitman gets home.

Legend has it
Seven members, one biscuit tin and a motion to stop wearing name badges. The motion passed. The name badges stayed.

Legend has it
Nobody can say when floor seven and a half appeared. Gus says it was there when he started. The building’s plans say it never was.

On the record
Hitman is rated 10 out of 10 for difficulty, the only adventure room Escape This rates that high.
The opening date comes from Escape This’s booking system. Legends come from the lobby, the Lucky Noodle and the minutes, and are only as true as they say.
