Put your wits to the test at Hawke’s Bays premier escape attraction. Experience the worldwide Escape Game phenomenon inside a unique and unforgettable location as your team attempts to beat the clock and escape from a fiendishly locked room!

What is a live Escape Room?

You and up to 10 others get locked in a dedicated room full of clues and puzzles. You have 60 minutes to break out! Can you do it?

How does it work?

Using your eyes, ears, wits and wiles figure out the clues presented to you, open the locks that keep you from your goal and gather together what you need to escape. If all else fails, ask for a clue from your gaoler using the walkie talkies provided!

There are five rooms to choose between - Fresh Meat, The Prisoner's Dilemma, The Dark Enigma, Earning Your Stripes and the Therapy Unit. There are two identical "Earning your stripes" rooms so you can challenge your friends and see who can escape in the fastest time.
