1 / 2Escape Mate
📍 Wellington Central, Wellington
Escape Mate runs themed escape rooms across two central Wellington locations (12 Johnston Street and 195 Victoria Street). Spaceship, Ancient Temple, and Atlantis rooms with high-tech mechanisms. Suits team-building, kids' parties, and adults.
So fun! Did the Temple challenge and the puzzles and graphics and electronics were put together so well. From the beginning, walking down below ground to the location already set the scene. And even though we didn't make the time and given no other booking immediately followed ours, the lovely girl in charge gave us extra time to finish it. So kind. It made our evening. Thank you Escape Mate and our helpful and friendly Commander Nicola that evening.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for older kids, teens, and adults. Reviewers consistently name hosts (Izzy and an Argentinian host whose name escaped one reviewer) and describe the rooms as suitable for kids' parties — a 10-year-old's birthday party is mentioned. Two locations make it easier to find availability across central Wellington.

“We had a fantastic time doing the Atlantis room. It was challenging enough with a good variety of different puzzles. Very interactive which was fun. The experience was made even better by our host - we forget his name but he is from Argentina. He was so kind and passionate and made sure we left with some fun photos and knowledge of how some of the puzzles work! Thank you.”

“We just want to say thank you for the wonderful party time Izzy gave our 10 year old boy and his friends. They truly believed their mission was to escape the aliens. The Spaceship was incredible! Visually impressive and fun. The kids couldn't stop talking about it afterwards. Thank you Izzy!”

“Booked this for 4 people and it was such an awesome experience. We throughly enjoyed every bit of it, loved the fact we could go off and solve each puzzle without having to do it in order. When we arrived the girl who served us was lovely from beginning to end I would recommend this room to anyone who wants to try escape room gets your brain working. Looking forward to doing the next room.”
