Escape Rooms

Teams of 2-5 people are locked in a themed room and have 60 minutes to search for clues and solve puzzles in order to solve the crime and escape the room.
Escape Quest's Escape Rooms is a fun, bonding family experience. Embrace kiwi ingenuity and teamwork to hunt for clues and solve the puzzles. As time travelling detectives,  you'll be back to Queenstown’s 1860s gold rush with a mission: solve the crime and escape the room in 60 minutes! Race the clock or compete in teams to solve the mysteries... dress the part for your fun, family photo. New, exciting and incredibly fun!  Minimum age 7 years - we suggest the puzzles would be too hard for under 7 year olds, though they may accompany you for FREE and be part of the fun. Adult supervision for children under 15 recommended

VR Escape Games

The VR Escape Games are no video game ~ the technology is mind-blowing and you will truly forget you are in Queenstown as you are whisked away to the other side of the planet for an action-packed, immersive and totally interactive adventure.

You will definitely want to do this more than once and that's great because there are several state-of-the-art adventures to choose from!  Talk about being in another world - the technology of this game is incredible.
You will work as a team, with groups of 2 or 4 (maximum 8 in the room at one time).  You'll be exploring in the guise of an awesome adventurer and if you can recognise your family (watch out, they may be Indiana Jones or Lara Croft Tomb Raider!) you need to talk and explore together to solve puzzles and escape.
In your new, mystical world you'll be throwing things to each other, perhaps scaling the inner walls of a pyramid (seriously, your friends can watch as you climb!), firing arrows at mysterious targets and .... well so much more but we don't want to give it away!
When you finish you're almost dazed to find yourself back in Queenstown - the adventure is so recent and so real!

Price: from $48 per person (for over an hour of adventure)
Minimum age 12 years
