Shophouses in Mount Austin JB - things to do at Mount Austin

Is JB boring? Or are you? 😂 People often visit Mount Austin for its aesthetic cafes, but did you know that there is an escape amusement house there too?

If you’re looking for something exciting to get your adrenaline pumping, we’ve got you. Banghistory offers a unique experience for thrill-seekers, with activities like horror-themed escape rooms, a rage room and even a “childbirth” experience — all in one place!

“Childbirth” Experience

Man Enduring Childbirth Experience - JB Itinerary

Let your male friends experience what it’s like to give birth with a childbirth simulator for just RM25/pax.

So, how does it work? There’ll be shock pads attached to the abdomen and it has 10 levels of intensity. For reference, four is similar to how usual period cramps feel while the highest level is for childbirth.

Of course, this experience isn’t just for male friends who underestimate the pain of menstruation and childbirth; women can try it too. Or even your boss… (ours tapped out at level 6)!

Rage Room

There’s also a rage room for those who need to release a bit of anger at just RM35/pax for 30 minutes.

Unleash your pent-up frustration in a fun way by smashing various items, such as old electronics and more. Don’t worry, as you will be provided with safety gear to protect yourself from any flying debris.

Horror-themed Escape Rooms

Not only does Banghistory have a rage room, but they also offer escape rooms. It’s your chance to strengthen or test relationships with your travel companions as you solve puzzles together and attempt to escape within the time limit.

You can choose from several rooms with varying levels of horror, each featuring a unique theme such as a haunted hotel or radio station. For an added layer of fear and challenge, try the rooms with live actors!

We attempted the Resentment Teacher-Student room (RM78/pax) and were scared out of our wits. Some of us were too afraid to move and explore, but thankfully with a little help from the staff, we managed to escape within the 1.5-hour time limit.
