Escape Room Experience Taupo - The Enchanted Candy Forest
Overview
1 hour
Mobile ticket
We are located in central Taupo. Get your team together and put your detective hats on to see if you can solve the clues and puzzles to escape in 60 minutes or less.
LAST CLUE CHANGE: November 2025
DIFFICULTY LEVELS: Standard 4/5, Advanced 4/5
At the heart of the enchanted forest stands the Tree of Life, the source of all life and magic. For thousands of years, the Forest Guardians and Fairies have protected it, ensuring its power remained pure. But now, a great danger has befallen the land. The wicked witch from the East has stolen the tree’s glowing core and hidden it deep within her gingerbread house. Without it, the forest will fade into darkness in 1 hour. The Guardians cannot do this alone. Only together can you outwit the witch, recover the Heart, and restore the forest before time runs out.
Suitability: This room (while still difficult enough for adults) is our most family-friendly theme. If you love a fun story, this is the room for you!

Great experience!!

5.00This was our first escape room in a different country and we have done so many and these didn’t let us down. We did two of them in the same day. We did a hard one and easier one and we loved both of them. The staff were very friendly and the rooms were good fun. It’s what you would expect from an escape room. Thank you to the whole team, morning and night, both of you were kind and helpful.

5.00Best escape room we've done. Good value for money with lots of clues. Enjoyed the candy forest experience. Have to have your thinking cap on but not too hard for teens/adults.
A must do when going to Taupo !!

5.00Our 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.
Great time had by all

'License to Challenge'

5.00The 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 =)
