Great Family Time!!

We had a great time at The Enchanted Candy Forest escape room! We found the room challenging but not too hard. We liked that the story set the scene and was engaging. Staff were also great to deal with.

Amazing

Had the absolute best time!! We came here whilst travelling 2 years ago and absolutely loved it. So when on this current visit to beautiful Aotearoa we knew we had to come back. My wife and I love escape rooms and try to do at least one wherever we travel in the world. Confinement is the best escape rooms we have ever done anywhere. So much so, we did all 4 of their escape rooms and also their outdoor scavenger hunt on this visit. The rooms are so clever and thrilling to complete and the staff are amazing. So friendly, kind and genuinely want you to have a great experience. I would like to thank Deiryn, Emily and Maia for all of their hand work and for helping make our visit so happy and memorable. We will be back again for sure on our next visit. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Great Escape Room

Had a great time with the family, staff were good, friendly and professional. Room was laid out well and challenging enough for us without being too frustrating! Will be back again next time we are in Taupo.

Disappointing

Disappointing experience. Our experience at the escape room started off delayed because someone had forgotten to reset one of the locks. Then many issues ensued, ranging from an incorrect lock being used to mechanical failures. Our entire experience was ruined because when we couldn't solve something, we didn't know if it was because we weren't on the right track or if something went wrong... again.
