The space is beautifully set up and immediately gives off the feeling that you’re about to experience a quality escape room. We were greeted by a wonderful game master who made us feel welcome right away. After a quick stop at the restrooms, we were taken to our room and what a great room it was. The experience was story-driven and flowed smoothly from start to finish. All of the puzzles felt logic, Jaime Killion, 6 months ago > The best escape rooms in christchurch! Ive been here a number of times and am always met with interesting and suitably challenging puzzles with compelling stories. The staff are excellent. Great place to go with friends, family, and coworkers, Joanna Ututaonga, a month ago > Wonderful service last Friday afternoon when my brother got held up on the way to Christchurch and we had to reschedule at very short notice to a later slot. Apparently no problem at all! (I'm sure it was a pain but our host was super lovely & accommodating). Played the Nikola game, very very cool, something unique going on in here that you really have to see to believe, massive thumbs up for originality, execution and service.
