What it is

Escape Quest in Takapuna gives families a proper shared mission: crack the codes, solve the puzzles, and break out of the room before time runs out. Kids who love a challenge will throw themselves into the problem-solving, and the clock keeps everyone — adults included — genuinely on their toes.

The venue offers traditional escape rooms alongside a VR escape room, so there is more than one way to take on the challenge. Reviewers mention seven-year-olds getting fully stuck in alongside parents, and the staff draw consistent praise for making the whole experience feel welcoming.

It works well for birthday groups, mixed-age family gatherings, or any outing where the goal is to think hard and laugh harder. A play-at-home option is also available for families who want to extend the fun beyond the venue.

Escape Quest was a fantastic escape room experience in NZ and easily satisfied our puzzle-solving itch. From the moment we arrived, the host was super friendly and welcoming, which instantly set a great tone for the whole session. They explained everything clearly and kept the energy fun and relaxed, making the experience even more enjoyable. We tried the Christmas-themed room, which was a first for us, and it honestly exceeded expectations. The theme was creative, immersive, and well put together without feeling gimmicky. The puzzles were clever and engaging, offering a solid challenge that made us think without feeling frustrating or unfair. Everything flowed really well, and it felt rewarding as we progressed through the room. You could tell a lot of care went into the design and overall experience. It struck a great balance between fun, challenge, and immersion. If you enjoy escape rooms—whether you’re a beginner or have done plenty before—Escape Quest is well worth visiting. We left feeling accomplished, entertained, and already keen to try their other rooms next time.

Awesome experience with our first escape room, Murder in Thames was just the right amount of challenge. Sofia, the game master was pleasant and charming. Great experience.

Walked in from the street and ended up doing a super fun escape room, thanks to the awesome advice and friendly attitude of Sofia. Will be coming back again to do another one for sure !

My friend and I wandered in on a whim and did our first ever escape room. We loved the themes and the rooms were actually a great mental challenge! It was a good balance of challenging tasks, puzzles and word play and good ol fashioned sleuthing. The team were so nice and super responsive with handy tips when we did get stuck. Somehow we made it out with like 20 seconds left on the clock XD. Loved it! Will defs be coming again.

Very very well done escape rooms. They are challenging, yet achievable and have a variety of typical padlocks to get into as well as touch screen and mag locks too. The staff were also a good laugh. We will be back!
