FAQ's
What ages are your activities suitable for?
Our activities are designed for a wide range of ages. Families, kids, tweens, teens and adults can all enjoy the experience.

Are your escape rooms scary?
Most of our experiences are focused on fun, adventure, puzzles and immersion rather than horror. While some rooms may feel mysterious or suspenseful, they are designed to be enjoyable for families and groups.
How long do the activities take?
Our escape rooms are 60 minutes long. Outdoor adventures such as the Taupō Outdoor Scavenger Hunt and Graffiato Mural Mission can vary depending on your pace and team.
Do we need to book in advance?
We highly recommend booking ahead during school holidays as sessions can fill quickly.
Do children need an adult with them?
We recommend younger children play with an adult or caregiver. Older kids and teens may be able to play independently depending on the activity and group size.
