Went there last year with 2 adults and 2 kids. Narration is unintelligible and very hard to hear. Was difficult to solve as there was no real logic between puzzles to assist the story. Based in a residential house which was a bit weird and production was lacking. We spent ages on a puzzle that required US date time entry which was frustrating. It is about 3 times the price of what it should cost imo, having completed dozens of escape rooms globally. However, the staff were friendly (1*) and the automation and mechanics were cool. Would recommend if it was 20 a head....maybe..

best escape room in Auckland, fully mechanical with a lot of thought put into making the theme. would highly recommend to everyone.
I think the premise was interesting, some of the puzzles had potential, but also, it's not a professional place and not very well executed. You go to the guy's house, the escape room is in a residential area and basically he had some spare space in his house and he created the escape room. You can hardly understand the voice cues because the recorded sound was TERRIBLE. Some of the puzzles had absolutely no logic to it or guides to get you there. My hubby and I have done many escape rooms and this one was just not great. I have it 2 stars for effort and story line
We went as 7 person group. Hopeless. No space to discuss clues. Tight space. Recommend 3 or 4 person group max. Two important clues were flimsy. They need to be fixed up. Some clues have to be improved. Felt some clues were random. Few clues were great and interesting.
Absolutely loved it! My favourite part is when I got to drown the dummy's head inside a water tank. I don't know what air freshener they used but the smell inside was incredible! Love the smell of wet dog.
Should come with trigger warnings. First, the good stuff: the employee looking after us was amazing. Really patient and helpful. The problematic stuff: The story behind the escape room is going to be too close to home for many. These are the trigger warnings that any potential customer needs to be aware of: contains themes of caregiver burnout; violence by caregiver; relationship violence including reenacting said violence; religious imagery and themes; small spaces; darkness. The rooms are small and you are in the dark with some potentially triggering stimuli, so bear that in mind. The escape rooms are part of a larger house in a suburban area. People live in the house, so that's a bit unusual. I could smell their pet rats/mice/rabbits/guinea pigs. Also, one of the escape rooms smelt like cigarette smoke. The puzzles were too hard for us, but more seasoned players will likely enjoy the challenge. But, like I said, the personnel was great.
This escape room has great potential, uses a lot of mechanical gates (instead of padlocks), and has a very useful storyline. Unfortunately, the downsides make it not worth the money. This is not a professional escape room. It is an amateur setup in a residential house and lacks much of the consistency in logical flow for the puzzles. Too frequently, the clues do not connect with the effective action that needs to take place. The audio clues are unintelligible and can't be heard through the bad speakers. I like a lot of the techniques that are used in the puzzles, but the flow of clues-to-actions needs a solid consultation with a professional game master. As it stands, it's just an expensive game that should still be in test phase.
Awesome time , would recommend 4-5 max as some rooms are cramped. Great family /team building fun. Would do it again !
