I completed both fbi and the Tesla room, the fbi was fun and enjoyable very worth it. The Tesla room was out of this world!! I have now completed 40 rooms and this one was the best by far, even compared to the ones in Bali and Thailand that I have done, the technology used is amazing, I wish I could say more but I don’t want to spoil anything. The staff are very friendly and if I could give this a higher rating I would. Couldn’t have asked for a better time. (And I know a thing or two about escape rooms) Well done!

CodeBreakers

CodeBreakers is a live 60-minute adventure! Choose from one of our various themes: find the hidden treasure in the Lost Hut of Antarctica, be a real life James Bond in Operation Mindfall, steal the Mona Lisa in Art Heist, fix a suspicious super-computer in Into The Dark, or stop a maniacal time traveller in the Misadventures of Max Magnus. You and your team will have 60 minutes to uncover clues, crack codes, solve puzzles and complete your mission. Our adventures are great for families, friends, couples, team building, and really anyone looking for something new and different.

My friend Steph and I have done a few escape rooms around New Zealand and this place is probably the best I have ever done! Really clever puzzles and very interactive. We did the Into The Dark room tonight and it was a different experience to what you would normally think of when you think of an escape room. Jasmine who greeted us was so lovely and explained what we needed to do clearly so when we messed up it was our own fault! Great bants after escaping the room too which left us leaving Code Breakers feeling really happy with decision to come here and with another booking of another one of their escape rooms for tomorrow. Five stars for the room we did and five stars for Jasmine!

Locked in Christchurch

Locked In Christchurch is the latest Escape room to come to Christchurch. We bring a love of playing these games and a new sense of style to the entertainment on offer in Christchurch. We offer a premium escape room experience that is unique in Christchurch. Our rooms are based on true stories from the history of Christchurch. It can be a great opportunity for tourists and travelers to come and experience the city in a different way. We focus on giving you enough time and minimum number of additional clues to get the full Escape room experience, not trying to get as many people through as possible. This is shown by our increased time between bookings and smaller group numbers to others. Our escape rooms are not just about escaping the room, but are about being immersed in the story and really feeling like you are a part of the history. We have unconventional puzzles and clues that you will have to think outside the box to solve.

The Emporium

There is something for everyone at The Emporium- Our most recent attractions are Escape room games. Themed rooms with clues and puzzles to work through to complete a challenge, you've only got 60mins- can you beat the clock?? (Bookings essential via our website) The 18 hole Mini Golf course at The Emporium is set in a lovely sheltered location away from the road. Recently renovated, this course is a lot of fun for all ages, surrounded by native plants and mountain views. Look out for the resident cat Poppy, she may even help you knock that ball in the hole! The Emporium also has a 4 Tap rigger station selling the latest craft beers produced by Emporium Brewing. The long term plan is to have a full brewery installed here in our warehouse but until that time we will continue to contract brew the bulk of our beers in Christchurch with the exception of a few limited release 50 litre batches brewed on site here in Kaikoura. Pop in for a chat anytime!

Great little mini golf course tucked away behind the Caltex Service Station in Kaikoura. Well designed course with some challenging features, but not too difficult for everyone to enjoy.

Clues not too difficult or too easy, range of different types of problem solving, we were a family group of adults and children (aged 13,9,7,4)and even the 4 year old got to be involved searching for clues.

We did “The Virus” escape room and it was excellent. We have done many escape rooms in NZ and over seas and this room was really good. Had some original puzzles which we had not done before.
