Our fifth and final room at Xcape was yet another banger. Large multi-space set, aesthetic theming, creepy atmosphere, and great sound design combined to deliver an immersive and unsettling experience. There was a good mix of traditional, hi-tech, and dexterity puzzles, one of which felt slightly out of place but was fun nonetheless. We got tripped up by one multi-phase puzzle and asked for a clue, though in hindsight we probably should have tried for longer as we ended up escaping with over 20 minutes to spare.

Great atmosphere in the room. The puzzles were on the easier side, but we had a great time.

Amazing room! The decorations are next level! Best decorated rooms in NZ. Actually makes you feel like you are in a cabin in the forest. I’m a scaredy cat and found this room to be quite scary! Puzzles were awesome, no clues needed for this room for us!
