Great Escape is a fun and simple, yet challenging REAL LIFE ESCAPE GAME. Your team of 3 to 6 are locked in a themed room. You have 1 hour to escape using nothing but your wits and intellect, creativity and common sense! It's all about the buzz of solving clues and puzzles. Why go to the movies when you can be more than a passive bystander in your own entertainment.

Especially good for when the weather's not very nice. This was our second time at Great Escape and we found the Titanic room a lot harder than the Prison Break room (which we only solved in the nick of time too). We still did good for a small team and enjoyed getting stuck into the challenge. I love that booking online is so easy, the staff are really nice and encouraging and the rooms available seem are pretty diverse - I have already recommended Great Escape to friends :)

Using your observational skills, problem solving ability, street smarts and common sense, you need to decipher a set of clues and puzzles as you and your team race to find the answers and escape - in 60 minutes. Located in the heart of the CBD, Escapade is an exciting and totally different New Zealand experience, with five completely unique Kiwi culture-inspired rooms to choose from plus a new OUTDOOR ESCAPE GAME. Bookings are highly recommended, so please feel free to visit our website to check out our escape rooms and making a booking.

It was our first time to Escapade and I can happily say it won't be our last. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and made the experience more enjoyable. My partner and I did the The Bach and found it was a compelling story that kept us on track and solving puzzles, with really fantastic & surprising twist. We manged to beat the room and escape with a few minutes to spare. We thoroughly recommend Escapade NZ

My brother and I was so excited to try this slingshot. It has the best view as you can see a lot of things around. The ride was OK, not that high and scary tho. To make it more fun, do not ask the staff to count! It definitely worth to try ????????

Having visited most virtual reality venues in both the north and the South island of New Zealand. Virtual reality studio is by a mile the most up to date awesome fun for all ages clean with the friendliest and most professional staff I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. I could not rave about them enough and I would give 10 stars if I could. I arranged very last minute my 10 year old sons birthday party contacting them on their days off they returned all my calls ( anytime of day or night) immediately, were very flexible and met my every need a day out from my son's birthday. I didn't need to worry about a thing the price is amazing for the gaming time you get way better than anywhere else.i honestly would not bother ever going to any other virtual reality venue because in my experience they have all been substantially lacking compared to this one. They make it all about the kids and making sure their experience is an unforgettable one. I couldn't thank Harry, Holly and the team enough for having the patience to first of all deal with my demands and secondly 6 screaming yelling ten year old boys who had the time of their lives. You guys rule. Thank you.

Having never tried axe throwing before we though we’d give it a go and we had an awesome time. The hour flew by, we learnt a few different techniques and played games which suited our competitive nature. Alistair was great too. Highly recommend :)
