- Hafeez Naushad1 contributionChallenging and FunThe puzzles were really challenging, the staff was super friendly. My family thoroughly enjoyed the experience, even though we failed to break out within the time - it was fun working together and trying to solve the puzzles. We definitely plan to do this again soon..Visited January 2023Written 4 January 2023

- Ken HIpswich, United Kingdom1,059 contributionsGreat Fun. Lovely Staff. RecommendedFirst ever escape room and loved it. Once you get your head in tune with the types of puzzles you're away. Immensely satisfying when you open your first lock. Staff very helpful with good briefings. Issued with a small radio in case you need a hint. Highly recommended.Cheers Ken, great to hear, and we agree the sense of achievement is very satisfying.Written 6 February 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited January 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 7 January 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.

Had an absolutely fabulous time doing the Space Cantina room. The puzzels were challenging without being needlessly complex. The staff were super helpful and kind. Highly recommend checking this place out if you are visiting Auckland!

Awesome escape room, we did the ancient tavern, which was a Lord of the Rings nerds dream. Lovely little surprise at the end.

Highly disappointed. We will not go back to this company. We were a group of 4 adults doing the Bach. This escape room seems to be set up for children. There are instructions around the place telling you what to do so you don't even have to work it out or hunt hard for the clues. We didn't ask for any help and were out in 25minutes. When you pay $160 for 25 minutes it doesn't feel like an accomplishment it feels like you've been ripped off. There was no challenge to this room and no indication on the website as to how challenging each room is to pick a better suited one. The best time photos are just red flags at how easy the rooms are. I've done 2 escape rooms at escape rooms takapuna. Their 60 minute was so challenging we failed even with some clues. And their other rooms are 90 minutes instead of 60. Which is a good indicator that they are more challenging as you need more time to solve them . The rooms in takapuna are also far cleaner. I will not return to escapade. I can recommend takapunas rooms though.

I went here for a birthday part last week and we had so much fun! Although all that thinking does make you very hungry so bring something to eat!
I've been here twice and on both occasions I found the escape rooms very enjoyable! My favourite is probably Granny's Bach.
You should definitely go there if you need something different to do.

First time doing an escape room for a work outing, we had lots of fun. It was challenging but we somehow managed to figure it all out - great team work!

Is not suitable for kids? Mine are 8.
Hi there,
It is suitable for kids with their parents, our escape games are perfect for some family team building! For children under 15 it is required for an adult to be in the room with them.
I hope this is helpful!
Kind regards,
