Memories of Nikola
Escape Artists Christchurch
Escape room
IRL
I freaking LOVED this room! Was so much fun! This is one of the best Escape Room providers I've ever been to. Game masters were friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. Room had awesome, thoughtful theming and atmosphere. There were mechanical components to the room that I hadn't seen utilised before, which made it very exciting. The puzzles were great. Highly recommend!

Loved this room, it ate my partner and me up, and spat us back out again, which doesn't happen often, and I love when it does. Our typical approach to rooms really slowed us down in this room, and applied pressure to us. I usually leave puzzles that require reading or lots of writing as late as possible, that was our undoing, that was our fault though, still a great room, and would definitely recommend!
Murder at Emerald Estate

Super cool room. I'm not a big murder mystery fan, so was somewhat uncertain of what was 'escape room' and what was 'murder mystery' until about a third of the way into the room, but the combo really added to the room's immersion. Some genuinely difficult components to this room, and lots of easy to miss things to, which I like a lot. Completed the room, but not strictly the murder mystery component, which I wasn't too phased by.

Really enjoyed this room, they start you out split into two seperate rooms, with you having to communicate with your team to progress, which is a great way to test your relationship with your significant other. 😂 Great design in this room, with a couple of nice puzzles.

Not your conventional escape room, but an absolute must if you have a group large enough to participate. I've done Space Race several times now, it's repeatable by design. They are able to customise the room (tasks and questions) to its current participants, based on how the participants move through the room, and the party sizes in attendance. I've done this room at least 3-4 times now, maybe more, and will definitely do it again in the future. All of the components of the room are very well maintained, and I've observed through my visits that if something can be better in the room, they will make it better (not a common trait with Escape Rooms I've attended in the past). Highly recommend. Definitely more fun with bigger groups.

Popped in on a short notice booking late one Friday night on a single night stop over in Wellington. The room was a great find, the Game Master was super passionate about the rooms, and very accommodating, especially given the short notice of our booking. The room itself was great, fantastic decor and design, with well thought out puzzles. The room was so well aesthetically designed that it made it easy to miss some things that were in plain sight, which honestly, I love.

Great room, enjoyed the difficulty and theming, the room contained a vast array of puzzles, and the game master(s) were great.
The Mystery of the Missing Crown Jewels

I very much enjoyed the room, and the puzzles were great, and a good difficulty too. There were hiccups though, damaged props that were integral to puzzle completion and room progression (that frankly didn't need to be there). Due to the clue system, the only way to progress in the room was to spam the clue system until the GM understood that there was a technical issue with the game. They came into the room, and asked us to step back outside to the lobby whilst they fixed it. They gave us additional time, and were politely apologetic. Ultimately it shouldn't really have happened though, and came down to back room maintenance, an easy fix that currently seems not to be being seen to. I reiterate, puzzles great, story great, staff great. The room needs maintenance.

I really enjoyed this room. It definitely has a small town charm, you can tell a lot of it was made with a watchful eye of the owner. This has a duality of some of the room being a little rough around the edges, but also having a few interesting and different puzzles that you don't always see in other escape rooms. I was put off by previous reviews of the room, but honestly saw no grounding of them when I attended, the game master was lovely, and very accommodating, especially given we were a same-day booking. Yes there are a lot of padlocks, but I really didn't see how that was a negative impact to the room, especially if you keep track of everything you're finding in the room. Would recommend to a friend if they were passing through.

Pretty cool room in a design sense, one or two puzzles I haven't seen before or don't see very often, which was nice. One or two puzzles that were slightly unclear, we completed them, but not strictly certain if by fluke or as intended, which isn't great, but aside from that, great room!
