Top 10 Room Escape Games in New Zealand, New Zealand

November 20, 2021 Giuseppe Pratt

New Zealand (/njuːˈziːlənd/ ( listen); Māori: Aotearoa [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses—the North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui), and the South Island (Te Waipounamu)—and around 600 smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long period of isolation, New Zealand developed a distinct biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.

Be a special agent for an hour and take your team to an epic, live-action, puzzle-solving adventure game in the heart of Wellington. Boasting three epic, hour long games across two locations, featuring exciting and interactive puzzles with thought-provoking challenges and hi-tech puzzles. The best indoor activity, perfect for rainy days! At Johnston St, embark on a mission to save the world from the wrath of the Death Gods as you explore 'Ancient Temple' ruins. Or, enter a 1930's bank vault, the 'Spaceship' to investigate the crash site of an AI operated alien spacecraft and prevent an alien invasion. At Victoria St, investigate a mysterious, sunken shipwreck to find the lost continent, Atlantis and untangle the dark secrets of the long-lost Utopian paradise, the land of the titans. Switch off from reality and immerse yourself in a hidden world in a movie-like, themed environment with seriously cool, tactile puzzles. Always thought you'd make a damn good detective? Well, prove it.

We sent our recent Graduates to Escape Mate as a team bonding event. They came back so excited and definitely a lot closer as a group. It was a great team building activity. I would highly recommend it and we'll be using Escape Mate again!

Great Escape

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 :)

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

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!

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!

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.
