Kids Birthday Parties That Excite Kids
(and Grown-ups Too)
Throw a Party They’ll Talk About for Weeks
There are birthday parties… and then there are Escape HQ birthday parties. Full of excitement, mystery, and mini mind-bending wins, these parties are packed with surprises and plenty of food (optional, but highly encouraged). We take care of the logistics – you just bring the kids (and maybe a camera).
Choose Your Adventure
We’re one of the best children’s party venues in Auckland for a reason. Whether you’re after a quick and fun challenge or a full-blown party with food and photos, we’ve got a birthday escape room package that suits your crew.
Want to level up the fun? Ask about our Takapuna race rooms, where two groups compete in real time across mirrored escape rooms to see who can break out first. It's a surefire hit with kids who love a little friendly rivalry.
Adult Supervision Required
All parties for children 14 years and under must have 1 adult supervisor (15 years or older) in the room. There is no charge for non-playing supervisors to be in the room. Each room can accommodate eight children plus one adult supervisor.
