Awesome family activity
Thank you Angela, for the 5-Star review!
We had an absolute blast at The Candy Cottage escape room! It was the perfect family outing – heaps of fun, clever puzzles, and just the right mix of spooky and sweet. The story was super engaging from the start setting the scene for an unforgettable adventure. Everyone – from the kids to the adults – got involved, and we loved working together to beat the clock before the witch returned! Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and immersive experience. We’re still talking about it days later!
Wow! What an awesome 5-Star review, Abdul! We are stoked that you and your family had a great time with us. We look forward to hosting you again soon. Cheers, The Confinement Taupō Team
A fun experience, we'll explained and supported by Deiryn. Frustration, confusion and laughter delighting 4 old girls!!
Thank you, Debbie, for the awesome 5-Star Review! We are so glad you had fun with us. We look forward to hosting you again. Cheers, The Confinement Team Taupō
This escape room was fun and had some good challenges for our group of three. We really enjoyed some of the mechanics of the room and everything was set up well and worked smoothly.
Thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re glad your group enjoyed the challenge and had fun with the room mechanics. We love adding those extra touches! It's awesome to hear everything ran smoothly. We hope to see you again soon. Cheers, The Confinement Taupō Team
