1 / 5Escapade NZ
📍 Auckland CBD, Auckland
Escapade NZ at Level 1, 23 Victoria Street East, Auckland CBD runs themed escape rooms (Galactic Cantina, Endeavour, and others), plus online play-from-home games and outdoor adventure games around Auckland. Bookings essential.
It was our first time doing an escape room, and we went to Escapade NZ to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. We chose the Galactic Cantina room, and it was such an amazing experience! We had no idea what to do at first and asked for help so many times but even though we didn’t escape in time, it was still super fun and exciting! The puzzles were creative and well designed, and the staff made everything even better. Special thanks to Ben (hope I got your name right!) he was really kind, patient, and took an amazing photo of us at the end! We’ll definitely come back again to try another room next time.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for older kids 11+, teens, and adults. Reviewers consistently describe the rooms as well-paced for first-timers and the staff as helpful with hints. The outdoor adventure-game format suits groups wanting a different format than a traditional escape room.

“We did the Endeavour room and had such a good time. It was our first escape room, so we didn’t really know what to expect but it was such a cool experience. We needed a couple of clues along the way, but managed to get there in the end. Definitely worth it for the price. We’d happily go back and try another room.”

“Fun experience. Did the tavern a couple weeks ago with me and another person. The host was really good. The original entrance is a bit weird, you have to ring the doorbell then wait for a bit (just a heads up). The escape room itself was pretty good looks cool and set up well with the story line. We were able to complete the basic clues then didn’t really see where to go. Perhaps for more experiences escapers u would have understood where to look or what to look for but we ended up using a few hints. It would have been better for me personally if there was a laid out order to complete the tasks in. Overall tho fun experience probably will come again.”
