FAQs

An escape room is a live-action adventure game where players solve puzzles and riddles to escape from a themed room within a set time limit.

Our escape rooms can accommodate groups of 2 to 8 players, depending on which escape room you choose, making it perfect for friends, families, or team-building events.

While our escape rooms are suitable for all ages, we recommend participants be at least 12 years old. Younger children can join with adult supervision.

Escape rooms are really popular with 12 / 13 year old birthday parties. We would suggest that the children usually need an adult playing with them to get the best out of the experience though. it’s fairly typical of most 12/13 year old’s to lose focus after around about 45 minutes , and we find that having an adult playing with them keeps them focused right until the end and leads to a far more dramatic finish.

We design our escape rooms for 4 or 5 adults / teenagers. Under 12 year olds can come and participate with the rest of the family. They can find things and get involved in the general adventure, but for the most part , they will not be the ones solving the puzzles (even though they tend to think that they solved most of it).

We are located in Wellington CBD. 118 Tory Street. That’s around about a 5 minute walk to either Courtney Place or Cuba Street.

The actual escape game challenge is to complete the escape room in 60 minutes. Most groups manage to just do this within the hour or shortly after. You will also allow 10 minute s for your introduction before your game and 10 minutes afterwards in case your team is a little bit slower or you are getting team photos with the escape room props.

Although on our schedule , all of the individual start times of the games are staggered , we can change the schedule to let bigger groups all start at the same time. eg 2 teams can play in our Operation Beehive rooms at the same time , even though on the schedule they are scheduled to start at different time. Just contact us to book both games starting at the same time.

Have a look at our deals page. We offer discounted rates for teenage birthday parties and team building events. We also have Saturday morning special offersand usually have family deals during the school holidays.

We can accommodate up to 28 players per person split over 4 teams.

Our most difficult escape room is probably The Diamond Heist. That is because it is in a larger room and some of the game play is non linear. Difficulty can also be determined by the size of the team of players and their overall escape room experience.

We design the rooms for 4 to 5 people, but teams of 2 to 8 players can take part depending on the room size and the amount of escape room experience within the team.

We would suggest that Operation Beehive is the best game to play if you have never done an escape room before. It is a linear game. ie one thing folows another and as such, it is easier for first time players to get their head around.

If you have up to 4 inexperienced players, then the medium sized Operation Beehive room is the best room for you to book. The large Operation Beehive room is the same game , but it is a larger room and more suited to bigger groups.
