We have been to more than 30 different Escape Rooms in New Zealand and Australia, this is definitely our favourite. 100% recommend. Not only are the rooms well thought out, but also the team is awesome in their own right. My wife loves their hot chocolate! Today we completely cleaned out their Heist 2.0 room. The feeling I have would be likened to finishing a really good TV series or a great video game. You just don’t know what to do with life anymore. If you are ever in Hamilton for a day trip or a longer stay, a visit here is a must!
