Memories of NikolaEscape Artists ChristchurchEscape roomIRLThis was an excellent room - very well themed, logical puzzles, many mechanical triggers rather than locks. And a really cool twist we haven’t seen before.
Lost Without HueEscape Artists ChristchurchEscape roomIRLLoved the unique theme for this room and it allowed for some interesting puzzles. Nice to see something different!
The Arcade - Challenge RoomEscape Artists ChristchurchEscape roomIRLThis was such a blast - completely different concept for an escape room .
Crime in the AlleyEscape Artists ChristchurchEscape roomIRLThis was a well executed room with high quality props and mechanics. For a 2 player team with 70+ escape rooms behind them, it was on the easier side, finishing in 30 minutes. Would be good for beginners. Suitable for families as long as you’re ok with the fact you are investigating a murder. There’s a chalk outline on the floor and “blood” drops.
Forsaken Farmhouse 2.0EscapistEscape roomIRLNot super tricky - would be great for beginners, the puzzles all made sense. Some neat mechanisms though to keep enthusiasts happy!!
Quest For The Magic WandEscape Rooms WellingtonEscape roomIRLAssuming this is the Magic Wand room! We really enjoyed this room, lots of mechanisms and neat puzzles.
A Knight's Quest - CLOSEDEscape Rooms New Zealand - TaurangaEscape roomIRLVery immersive - some physical puzzles which was different. 90 minute escape room.
Orphan's Revenge [prev. The Seance of Death]Escape Rooms New Zealand - TaurangaEscape roomIRL90 minute room. Good use of mechanisms but also quite a few padlocks. Great that you have to solve the mystery, although that element wasn’t super hard!
Da VinciEscape Rooms New Zealand - TaurangaEscape roomIRL90 minute escape room. Mostly locks, a few different puzzles.
Room 13XcapeEscape roomIRLExcellent room - well put together. Puzzles were “thinky” but logical. Ambient noise - little bit hard on one of our team who was hearing impaired. But it was ok. Good room for teamwork required.
Music RoomEscape Masters - RotoruaEscape roomIRLThe room was not reset properly and therefore it was unsolvable. This was one of their 30 minute rooms and we wouldn’t do one of these again, not just because it wasn’t set right either. Definitely feels like they are designed for first time escape roomers, probably due to their location at Motion Entertainment.
The Diamond HeistEscape Rooms WellingtonEscape roomIRLWell put together room, lots of physical props. It did suffer a bit from having lots of locks and not a clear direction sometimes for which one you should put the found combination into. Laser maze was epic though!
Murder at Emerald Estate - CLOSEDDice and ForkEscape roomIRLThis room was excellent! Great puzzles and theming and some excellent physical puzzles.
Heist 2.0 - CLOSEDEscapistEscape roomIRLThis is their replayable room - the aim is to Escape with as much money as possible in the time given. Your score is your loot total, not time. There are soooooo many puzzles in the room, it takes multiple plays to be able to get through them all which is so much fun! You’re allowed to take in your notes from previous plays, which we would recommend if you’re going back.
