Loved the escape room at The Locked Room. Challenging and fun puzzles, and our game master Michelle was very friendly and helpful. This is our 5th escape room on our trip in NZ and this is far and away the best. A shame there is only one room because we wanted to play more :( Would 100% recommend this place!

A chance find while visiting Matamata to go to Hobbiton. As we were the only ones there, we were kindly allowed to start our escape room as soon as we walked in the door (rather than having to book a specific time) and given the comfort to know we could take as long as we we needed. 2 adults and an 18 and 20y old elected for the Secret Saloon. The room's kit out was very impressive and authentic with integrated mechanics. We just made it out in 60mins without clues! Loved it so much, went immediately into the Airforced room - super impressive props in here. A slow start and a single clue led us to escape in 40mins. This one not as varied and exciting as the Saloon but still lots of fun.

We have been to more than 30 different Escape Rooms in New Zealand and Australia, this is definitely our favourite. 100% recommend. Not only are the rooms well thought out, but also the team is awesome in their own right. My wife loves their hot chocolate! Today we completely cleaned out their Heist 2.0 room. The feeling I have would be likened to finishing a really good TV series or a great video game. You just don’t know what to do with life anymore. If you are ever in Hamilton for a day trip or a longer stay, a visit here is a must!
