Backstage PassEscape HQ - AucklandEscape roomIRLOnce we got into the room, this one took us a while to get started, as the initial objective wasn't immediately clear. After that, everything flowed quite nicely, and this was a satisfying room to complete.
Da VinciEscape Rooms New Zealand - TakapunaEscape roomIRLThis wasn't a particularly satisfying room. There wasn't anything glaringly wrong with it, but the story was only really involved in the setup, and didn't carry through the room. As with any 90 minute room, there were quite a few puzzles, but none of particular note.
Dr. Frankenstein [prev. Transfusion]The Great Escape Klemzig [prev. Escaplex]Escape roomIRLThis is now the best escape room we've ever played. With the two of us, we needed two hints to get out with just under ten minutes to spare. Everything related to the theme perfectly, the puzzles were all unique and clever, and everything flowed in what seemed to us to be a logical order.

EntombedEscape This - Perth CBD, Hay Street MallEscape roomIRLThis is one of the best rooms we've ever done. As people who don't enjoy scary rooms, this was the spookiest we'd ever want to do (it was like a thriller, rather than a horror). The mechanics were flawless, and the staff were fantastic. The theming of the room was incredible. Highly recommended.
ExtractionThe Curium ExperienceEscape roomIRLWe had high expectations going into Curium, and while the atmosphere certainly exceeded them, the puzzles did not. This is still a great experience, but we prefer a more logical approach to puzzles than what Curium tended to provide.
Gnome's AdventureEscapismEscape roomIRLThis was a room with excellent atmosphere, but the inconsistency in the game mechanics left a bit to be desired.
Jail BreakEscape HQ - AucklandEscape roomIRLThis was a satisfying room with clear objectives at every point. Highly enjoyable.
Legacy Of The SpyEscape Masters - Auckland CBDEscape roomIRLThis is the first escape room I ever completed, and it was great fun. The goal was clear from the outset, and there was only one puzzle that really stumped us.
Lost Without HueEscape Artists ChristchurchEscape roomIRLThis was a well executed room that was quite mechanical, although did tend towards the "a lot of locks" stereotype. Six people felt a little cramped at times, but the extra heads were helpful. All in all, a great room from Escape Masters with an enjoyable theme.
