Escapist, Hamilton

We have done about 4 or 5 rooms with these guys and every single time it has been outstanding. The service, the rooms, the storylines… everything is fantastic. After travelling around the North island and trying escape rooms, these guys are the best. The puzzles provide just enough challenge while being fun and manageable. You have the opportunity to try out some board games before or after your room. 10/10 recommend these escape rooms!!

We very much enjoyed the tabby lane room. The puzzles were cute and playful. We also had a nice time chatting with the owner. It’s always nice to see when an escape room owner or even a game manager are enthusiasts themselves. She was a great person to get recommendations from for rooms across the islands

So. We booked in for the easiest room so our kids could be more of a part of it. We made it out alive. We then straight away booked a second much harder room, and made it out even quicker! Fantastic rooms! I just wish they weren't over when they are...I've never had enough!!!! Kids loved it and solved heaps, but they are seasoned kid pros now. Our host Ash was superb!!! Really freakin sold the story, it was brilliant and we hope we see you again someday when you've made your own room!!! We'll be back down to play it for sure!

We came here for a rainy day activity (coming from Pōkeno) and we completed Tabby Lane on our first visit. The room was amazing and the perfectly challenging. We fell in love with the experience and decided to come back for two more rooms the very next day (Bloodstone Keep and Forsaken Farmhouse). The staff are amazing, their storytelling before the rooms is very engaging and they made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely fantastic! Did two of their rooms and loved them both - great themes, unique puzzles and the staff are lovely too. We will definitely be back to do more rooms when we can, they were definitely some of the best escape rooms we have done!
