We had a great time at Escape Quest in Queenstown! The room was really well designed and the puzzles were clever and challenging. We did need a few hints along the way, but that only made the experience more fun and exciting. In the end, we managed to solve it just two minutes before the time ran out, which made it even more thrilling. My daughter and I enjoyed every minute of it – it was a fantastic way to spend an hour together. Highly recommended if you're in Queenstown and looking for something fun and different!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Suits older kids, teens, and adults. Reviewers consistently name hosts (Emily, Flo, Lena) and call out the puzzle design β€” challenging without being unfair. The VR rooms work well as first-timer options for those nervous about traditional rooms; the outdoor escape suits groups wanting to combine sightseeing with the activity.

β€œHad such a fun time at this escape room. The puzzles were really cool and not too hard but still made you think. We were laughing the whole time and it never got boring. The staff were awesome and super friendly. Big shoutout to Emily she helped us out heaps and was actually really funny which made it even better.”

β€œMe and a friend did one of the VR escape rooms and we had a lot of fun! Flo did run is through the different options for us and pointed out the best one for us. He was a great help and he explained everything very well! We’re always happy to come back and do another escape room!!”
