Thrillzone Auckland Takapuna
π Takapuna, Auckland
Thrillzone Auckland Takapuna combines multiplayer VR, escape rooms, and indoor activities under one roof on Hurstmere Road. Omni-VR multiplayer platform, Hologate VR, traditional escape rooms, and VR escape rooms. Suits all ages and skill levels.
We visited Thrillzone Takapuna for our son's 12th birthday with 5 of his best mates and I can't recommend this place enough! Sonja and Seb were just incredible hosts. They handled all the details, were unbelievably patient and friendly with the boys (like wrangling cats most of the time but this didn't faze them), and made sure everyone had an absolute blast. My son even commented afterwards on how kind they were! The VR Escape Room was a first for all the boys, but everything was explained so well, and Seb was right there to help with any questions they had. The fun didn't stop thereβthe photos that come as part of the package are a highlight! The boys loved all the props and setting up their own green screen scenes. We will definitely be back, and I highly recommend it for a super fun and memorable experience - especially for tween/teen boys who need activities that challenge them and keep them engaged.
π Family Action Verdict
Best for kids 10+, teens, and adults β the VR experiences and escape rooms reward older kids. Reviewers consistently name hosts (Sonja, Seb, Sofia, Austin) and describe attentive walkthroughs especially for first-timers. Birthday parties for groups of 5β6 children come up across reviews.

ββββββ We had an amazing escape room experience today β especially thanks to our host, Austin. From start to finish he was engaging, welcoming, and made the whole experience fun, immersive, and memorable. You can tell he genuinely cares about the guests and takes pride in what he does. Unfortunately, at the very end of our experience we overheard a manager speaking to Austin in a way that felt unnecessarily rude and unprofessional. It was uncomfortable to witness, especially given how well Austin had just done his job. Staff who go above and beyond deserve respect, particularly in front of customers. Austin is a huge asset to this business and deserves recognition for the excellent experience he provides. I truly hope management reflects on how staff are treated, because great employees like him are the reason customers leave happy. Would 100% recommend the escape room β and especially Austin as a host.β

βWe had an amazing experience at Thrillzone Takapuna! Sofia was fantastic β she explained everything clearly and made sure we understood how everything worked before we started. She was very friendly, patient, and helpful throughout the whole experience. Thanks to her guidance, everything was easy and really fun. Highly recommend this place, and special thanks to Sofia for making our visit so enjoyable!β

βWe came along as a group of 4. Amongst what we tried, we were thrilled with the VR escape room as the first timers. Sofia made sure we had an enjoyable time. Heaps more to try - will visit again.β
