An activity the kids really enjoyed. Highly recommend. Will definitely go again when we visit. Staff was kind and gave a little extra time to finish the room.

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?

2nd 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😎
