Great Escape Room

Had a great time with the family, staff were good, friendly and professional. Room was laid out well and challenging enough for us without being too frustrating! Will be back again next time we are in Taupo.

Disappointing

Disappointing experience. Our experience at the escape room started off delayed because someone had forgotten to reset one of the locks. Then many issues ensued, ranging from an incorrect lock being used to mechanical failures. Our entire experience was ruined because when we couldn't solve something, we didn't know if it was because we weren't on the right track or if something went wrong... again.

Hi Ashley, Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for dicussing this further over email, feedback in valuable to us and allows us to learn from it and move forward. We hope that if your ever find yourselves in Taupō again you can pop in and see us. We would love to redeem ourselves! Thank you for being very kind as well through all of this, as I said in my email these types of reviews are genuinely heartbreaking as we put a lot of care and effort into the business, so I appreciate you taking the time to reply and understand. All the best Ashely. Kind regards, Deiryn

Fun with a challenge

We completed this as a family of 3 and really enjoyed it. The first room was a little tricky but once we got into the puzzle solving we couldn't stop and almost completed the extended challenge. The iPad "hint" system was very simple and useful. Great staff, easy parking at good location.
