Excellent

Thought it would keep the kids quiet for an hour, but it didn't there was a lot of noise and excitement. Grandma (me) could not do it, but the youngsters loved it. We needed a bit more than the hour and fortunately no one was booked in behind us so we were not obliged to leave and completed it with only a little help. I think the Hunting Lodge is one of the more difficult ones, so if first timers suggest something a bit simpler. But staff were very helpful and it was nice having that extra time, would have been disappointed that we were so close.

Good escape room

We enjoyed The Hunting Lodge escape room. Took us a while to get into it as found the participants in the adjacent room very noisy and distracting which I have never encountered before doing an escape room. Could be solved with a roof being added to the first room). Enjoyed the storyline (not scary - just a murder mystery). Not claustrophobic at all. Found a couple of the steps a bit obscure and wouldn't have finished without the cheat help - or possibly actually more collaboration / sharing of clues found etc. Nice staff - very relaxed. Keen to try another room when next in Taupo.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for giving us 4 stars! We're so glad you enjoyed your experience. We have updated our rooms slightly to help dampen noise from other players, however, due to the building's H&S regulations we are unable to have fixed roofs. We look forward to hosting you for your next escape. Cheers, The Confinement Taupō Team

Challenging but Fun

Went there last 22nd September 2024 - Sunday, with my little family, my husband and 2 kids. We all had fun. Some hints are challenging but the feeling of solving the case was fulfilling. The kids were very into it to find the next hint. It was a good activity for family to work as a team and help each other. The staff was very helpful if we got stuck in some hints. Will go back again to try other Case.
