Aaron Hooper

Next Level Escape

Aaron Hooper and Leanne Yong are the owners at Next Level Escape, an escape room in Sydney that prides itself on unique game structure, GM interactions, and games that make you laugh. They design and build their games themselves – Aaron is the tinkerer who loves creating and designing cool new gadgets, while Leanne is a sucker for indie games with strong narratives and innovative mechanics.

Aaron is a former economist at the Reserve Bank of Australia turned engineering student at UNSW, who would love to send a rocket into space one day.

A limited number of discounted hotel rooms are available at the RECON 26 hotel and venue, the Sheraton Laval Hotel.

Our block of rooms on-site at The Sheraton Laval Hotel is SOLD OUT.

Luckily, we have secured a second, smaller block of rooms at Le St-Martin Hôtel & Suites. This is a 5-minute drive away from the RECON venue. If you missed out on the original room block, Le St-Martin Hôtel & Suites is our choice among the many hotels in the area. They are providing a special RECON rate of $209 CAD per night (plus taxes) that includes breakfast, wifi, and parking.
