About
Escape Masters is an adventure, where teams are locked in a themed room and their common goal is to break out within an hour. To escape, they have to use objects from around the room, find clues and solve puzzles. This internationally popular phenomenon promises a vivid experience where you can become the main character of a captivating mystery. Choose your own difficulty level, select one of the themed rooms and bring a team of 2-8 people per room. Suitable for all ages, Escape Masters is the perfect venue for corporate functions, parties, stag and hen nights, or a good time with family and friends. Rest assured, there is an emergency exit in each room, so it's perfectly safe and no one will jump out to give you a fright. NEW!!! Lost bag - exciting outdoor adventure, includes a lot of places for you to explore around AKL CBD and gather information to help you with your quest. Numerous exciting HTC Vive VR games available in our spacious lobby. Come and immerse yourself!

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.

A clue was in the box for our bags and coats so unfortunately we couldn’t complete the quest as it was covered by our gear. The item was meant to be on some other prop

We did the haunted hotel room and it was very enjoyable. The staff member (so sorry we cannot recall the name) was incredibly helpful and she was such a pleasure to deal with. Thank you so much for everything and all of your kindness and help. We will most certainly be back.

The idea of an escape room is very cool. However the customer service was terrible! The woman who was there on the front desk while we were ‘trying to escape’ came in the room with 5 mins to go. We were 95% there and needed to solve the very last glue to finish. She walked in and told us the answer and literally grabbed the prop we needed to finish and popped it where it needed to go. (Even worse someone in our group said “please don’t do that” when she picked up the prop but she still went ahead and did it. So that was it. She then had the cheek of saying “well done you did it” and clapped. She quickly escorted us out and shut the doors behind us with a loud bang. We were the last customers and she obviously had somewhere she wanted to be. Solving the clue for us with 5 mins to go defeated the whole purpose of an escape room. I think the owner would be very sad to hear this is how she was managing their business.

My cousins and I escaped from the Haunted Motel and it was such an awesome room, definitely had a great volume of scare factor! Kyle and Seini were the staff working at the time and they were especially helpful before and after the escape room. They were genuinely nice and we will come back for sure because of their amazing customer service! 10/10 for both of them!!!

We've done escape rooms at home, (Las Vegas), so thought we'd try one on our visit to Auckland. We did bank heist and loved it so much we did the alien prison break straight after. Very challenging but a lot of fun and the staff were great. Very helpful and friendly. Loved that the waiting area had puzzles and games too. Highly recommend!
