- vanessabN4801SR0 contributionsChallenging family fun!!Thank you for a creative and challenging escape room!!! A super entertaining activity for the family!!! I would definitely came here againWritten 22 October 2024
- kiwigal1840 contributionsFun for the familyOur family of 7 had a really good time working together. We didn’t find it too difficult. Finished the standard room fairly quickly then had enough time to add on the advanced portion, which we also finished. Perfect Sunday morning activity for our weekend break in Taupo. Will probably do again in the future.Written 21 September 2024
- Explore683875756580 contributionsA perfect staff functionWe visited Confinement Escape Rooms for our staff function, Deiryn had everything ready for us and the event went off without a hitch! Everyone had a blast and commented on how much they enjoyed it :-) . We will definitely be back, thanks Deiryn!Written 4 July 2024
- Wander286452841750 contributionsGreat friendship building!Was an excellent way to spend time on a cloudy afternoon. None of us (6 ladies in our 60s) had played before and a fantastic time was had by all. Well once we got the hang of it! Would highly recommendWritten 23 June 2024
- Connector053203154190 contributionsFamily Scavenger HuntWe booked the Scavenger Hunt. Divided the family into 2 Teams and competed for a winner's bragging rights. great fun and became the topic of conversation for the rest of the night. Highly recommend for family entertainmentWritten 6 April 2024
- lisaeD1218LO0 contributionsDid not escape Cabin in the Woods!Excellent set up, clear communication. Cabin in the Woods was a hard one; we did not escape. Was fun though. I’ve never seen an escape room that uses clues and spaces from previous rooms. Maybe it’s a New Zealand thing?Written 3 February 2024
- Road537165121690 contributionsDate night funDate night activity. Wonderful friendly staff and a very fun activity to engage the brain. We thought it was very creative and will definitely be back to try more rooms. Highly recommend.Written 30 January 2024
- whanau690 contributions'License to Challenge'The plan was to find a 'Wet weather activity' - so off to the Escape room we went - but it turns out - not just a great activity for bad weather. We (father and son combo) played the first room and got hooked. Really loved the 'James and Jane Bond type type events - in fact, loved the one needing to hold hands and dancing to gain access to the next room (so cool). I/we highly recommend this value for money activity, if you want to challenge yourself, problem solve, work as a team or be baffled by the smart clues needing some serious brain power - try sn escape room. Ps - We ened up doing all 4 rooms =)Written 17 January 2024
- SudaTaupo0 contributionsSo much fun!!Did two escape rooms (cabin in the woods and hunting lodge) for our xmas work do. Loved them!! So much fun!! Highly recommend Confinement rooms Taupo. The staff are super friendly and the rooms are really fun and get the brain working. Will definitely be back for more rooms!!Written 29 November 2023
- Flyer460442793870 contributionsThe finishers of cabin in the woods2nd time for most of our group in the escape room experience, thoroughly enjoyed by us all. Bonus is we finished and got out of our room. Will definitely return to try another room😎Written 18 November 2023
- HiccupHickey0 contributionsFantastic, Challenging, Fun!Fantastic!! We came to Taupo for four days and ended up doing all four escape rooms as a couple. Enjoyed The Hunting Lodge the best. The rooms are well thought out and a great challenge. Staff are amazing :) If in Taupo would highly reccomend a visit here even if you're just a group of two and a cool rainy day activity.Written 8 November 2023

- kimsK4322IS0 contributionsFirst time in an escape roomWe did the escape room as it was cold and wet in Taupo. It was a great activity, but only one of us had really done a room before so we failed to get out. These are really good mind challenges and prove you really do need to work as a team.Written 3 July 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was one of the best escape rooms we have done. I really like ones that have lots of things to look at even if you don’t need them to solve the puzzle. The whole family from age 12 to 80 got involved and we had loads of fun. Would highly recommend!

This was such a great team building option. I would definitely recommend it to any business. Just remember to read the instructions and listen to the staff member when they give you information prior to starting.
There was a lot of laughing and the props and set up are fun.
We will be back for another themed room.

Four female friends, 2 new to the Escape Rooms concept. We all really enjoyed the experience, even the sceptic of the group. It was challenging but manageable enough to keep it fun, although we did have to hit the "clue button" a few times, but this did not diminish the experience, just allowed us to keep progressing. Amazing owner / operator who must have a very creative mind.

Great escape room. Clues were necessary as we were with young kids. Child-friendly room with nothing scary.
