Thank You for the awesome 5-star review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us. We look forward to seeing you again. Cheers, The Confinement Taupō Team
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.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review Adrienne! We're thrilled you had an amazing time and appreciate your support. We look forward to hosting your next adventure! Cheers, The Confinement Taupō Team
This was a fun family activity with our 10 year old. Almost completed it in time but just missed out.
Thank you for the 5-Star review! We look forward to seeing you for your next escape. Thank you The Confinement Taupō Team
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
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.
Thank you Charisse for the awesome 5-star review! We are so happy you enjoyed The Hunting Lodge. We look forward to seeing you for the next challenge. Cheers, The Confinement Team Taupō
