      Great puzzles. Great host.
      Highly recommend Spaceship. Lots of non-linear puzzles, so if you get stuck you can work on something different to reset your thinking. 'Agent Jack' was fantastic. He was very good at giving hints that spurred our thinking rather than giving the puzzle away.

      Great place for kids birthdays
      Threw a birthday party for my 11yr old and 11 of his friends. The puzzles were challenging and fun, and the friendly and helpful staff made it an experience they won’t forget. Would definitely recommend for kids birthday parties.

      Amazing experience, best balanced escape room I have been at. The ambient and actual scene of the escape room made the experience a memorable one. Service was also great!

      I did this with a group of cousins and we all loved it. Agent Manaaki was super friendly and helpful, and really added to our enjoyment of the morning.

      Great team building event
      Much more challenging than anticipated. I liked that we could move around and choose another puzzle if we couldn't work one out at the time as solving the puzzles weren't linear. Staff on hand were helpful and ensured we kept things moving!

      Loads of fun!
      This was a great experience! The guide was really friendly and engaging so we were immersed straight away into the world of the escape room. The escape room itself was really fun too and very challenging but set at the right level. I'd highly recommend this activity!

      First time doing an escape room - loved it!
      First time doing an escape room. I found it quite fun but also challenging. We kind of just figured stuff out organically with some helpful hints from the staff member when we got stuck. We all manage to figure out at least 1 puzzle each with some doing more, some less. Overall it was a very good experience and would recommend it to anyone who wants to escape from reality for an hour or so.

    I did this escape room with my partner and it was great room to do with two people, its a small space so i feel it is really ideal for 2 to 4 players. the puzzles were good, they weren't super hard but not super easy either, it was a very enjoyable date night activity. the staff were really good and super helpful when we kept getting stuck on some of the puzzles.

    Great activity for the family - our group of 4 adults and 2 kids (8 and 10) really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend - lots of fun! The Temple is definitely best for a small group, as the area is fairly small.

    We did have to ask for a couple of hints - but this was offered in such a way that we still solved it ourselves, and didn't feel at all stupid. Thank you to our Head Agent, for helping create a lovely memory for my family!

    Can Fully Recommend this experience, I have also completed the Atlantis Room, and both are absolutely great fun.

    The staff are charming and friendly; the Puzzles are complex and delightfully engineered. I would note that the Atlatnis room is definitely a step up in terms of complexity and challenge but believe in yourself if our group of disorganised dinguses can do it any one can.

    Kia ora Liam, We are glad to hear that you have enjoyed 2 of our rooms so far! We work hard to provide a wide range of difficulty between our rooms, and are stoked to hear you enjoyed both! Only one more room remains, we look forward to a record breaking time from your team! Kind Regards Adam

    My team visited today as a lunchtime team bonding activity. We had a wonderful time and our host was outstanding. I loved the non-linear approach to the Temple Room - it wasn't a matter of solving A and then moving onto B, it was instead that we immediately faced a bunch of clues to a bunch of different puzzles. Most of the group was new to escape rooms and we did need a little help to get through - but the host did an exceptional job at keeping us moving and dropping clues that pointed us in the the right direction without ever making us feel dim or slow. Well done guys!

    This was our first escape room and it was excellent! The puzzles were just the right level of tricky, and the guide was able to give us subtle clues towards a solve whenever we struggled to piece it all together. (But not like solving it for us, just wee pointers if we’d taken the wrong angle)

    My husband and I are Wellington locals and having experienced an Escape room in Melbourne years ago, we thought we’d try our local. It was a fantastic experience...the staff were friendly and helpful when required, the attention to detail and challenges set were the perfect amount of difficulty and logic.
    Would highly recommend this experience

    My partner and I ended up in Wellington for an extra day due to delayed flights, so we went to Escape Mate to burn a bit of time. I'm really glad that we did - the Escape Room (Temple) was excellent and high quality and Matthew gave a great intro and tips when we needed them. Would definitely recommend and would go again if/when we get back to Wellington

    We had a group of four where we given our task by an amazing host. She explained everything very well and we got in there and aced it. The escape room is challenging but not too challenging. We got out with a couple minutes to spare and it was so much fun! Definitely want to try other ones now!
