Auckland Escape Rooms

Mk Hayley talked about how people enjoy experiences where they have to reach a goal or have to achieve something, as it gives them a challenge and makes things more interesting, relating to our idea of a quiz night. She mentioned escape rooms as being one of those experiences people enjoy, especially millennials.

In auckland there's a selection of escape room people love because they are tricky but fun. Each of them have a kiwi twist which makes the whole experience feel more personal, which is another important element of creating a great experience. As a group you have to solve a mystery and find your way out of the room in a certain amount of time by working through a series of puzzles.

people can go onto the escapadenz website, ://escapadenz.co.nz/games/ and from there they can select from 4 different escape rooms, or games as they say, each with their own kiwi history involved. They can book online, select the day and amount of people they want to play, which game they want and then pay.

The pricing isnt too expensive and there is student pricing which will attract millenials. It's $23 per student or child for 5-6 people and gets slightly more expensive the less people you have. The experience is also unique and different, so spending the money would be worth it as it's not something you do very often.

They also have a licensed lounge bar, which people like to go to for a refreshment and wind down after they complete the escape room.

THE BACH

You’re in the classic Kiwiana bach (beach house) - faded couches, old lamps, that vintage sailboat picture on the wall...but something’s up. You’ve got a cryptic message from Grandma giving you the clue to an old mystery only the most observant, street smart investigators will solve. This tricky mystery will test you to the limits of your imagination and creativity - are you up for the challenge?

THE SHED

You’ve stumbled across a gold mining shed way out in the bush, and you could be on the way to a secret fortune! Our curly clues and puzzles will keep you on the hop as you race the clock to find the solution - and the gold...'


THE TAVERN

Locked in a mystical tavern from times long past, you’re on a quest to save the city. But, there’s evil hot on your trail: the darkness is coming, and only you can shine the light of salvation. Working through the ancient clues and puzzles you’ll find a way to protect the people, but it’s not going to be easy. The pressure’s on: can you save the city and escape before the darkness returns?


THE BOATHOUSE

Enter the Boathouse, where you and your intrepid team are set to go over your race plans before the big race. Problem is, things aren’t quite as they should be … it looks like a rogue competitor has been tampering with the plans and equipment, and you might even be in danger! Now you’re in a race to save yourself and your boat designs before you can hit the water! Better hurry, there isn’t much time!



The reviews of the escape rooms are very good, with people saying things like they felt they learnt more about NZ culture and history, and it's a great team building experience.
