The Old Bag Factory has housed an escape room since Fall 2016. In Fall 2017, Escape Down Under became the official escape room of the Old Bag Factory, falling under its umbrella of entertainment options exclusively owned and operated by Old Bag Factory Management.

There are two rooms available for play now, Fright at the Museum, which involves art and magic and The Inventor's Challenge, which is a race to find the long hidden inventions of an inventor from long ago. In each room, you find clues and put together puzzles to work your way through the room to reach the objective, all in a timed one hour.
