The year is 1978, it’s a time of big cars, big parties, and more importantly – big concerts. You are a roadie for a rock band, and with just 60 minutes left before tonight’s performance, you are searching for the missing band.
With a little help from the staff, you have just gained access to the band’s hotel room. The room is a mess but more importantly, there is no sign of the band. Can you solve the mystery of the Dark Side of the Room and make sure the show goes ahead in an hour?

So good we went back again in the afternoon: We have done a few escape rooms and these rate amongst our favourites. Very clever clues and mechanics, very interactive and a good range of puzzles to solve. Great that you can choose the level of difficulty, and more reasonably priced than some. Give it a go – you won’t regret it.

We did the Lost in the Forest room and it was one of the best escape rooms we’ve done. Well set up, nice and clean and staff are super friendly. Had a lovely cuppa and bikkie after too!

A great hour of fun. Challenging and engaging for all of the team. Helpful staff and a great area to hang out before and after the experience. Will definitely be back.

We have just formed new teams at work so wanted to do a fun activity together. We had enough people to do 3 rooms, two going head to head in the Lost in the Forrest rooms and one in Trophy heist.

Awesome venue, clean, nice area to chill out before and after the game. We did the forest room and managed to do it under an hour with a few clues along the way. Great way to get the teens out of the house in the holidays and send time with the parentals.

We went to Escape HQ as an office team building activity, not many people had done this before, so it was a really good challenge. Really makes you think outside the box! The staff were great – very friendly and helpful.

Our group from work did the Lost in the Forest room and even though it was the beginner’s Level, it was still a challenge. Everyone’s competitive streak came out and we had lots of laughs!

Fun games! I like the fact that they have two sets of matching rooms for teams to square off
Shawn Lam
Awesome setup! Challenging rooms with great puzzles and props. The themes are new and interesting, and the back story integrates well. Two identical rooms are available for larger groups which is awesome for creating friendly competition.

We had a brilliant time for my daughter’s 8th birthday party, with 5 of her friends. Great escape room with lots of variety and surprises, well organised party food, goody bags and they loved dressing up for photos. Definitely recommend.

Brought our team of 26 teachers to Escape HQ Takapuna this week and it has been a massive success! Thank you for accommodating all our requests and being so patient with us through it all. Your team have been so professional. Our staff are still excitedly discussing and analysing the different working dynamics that the games have brought about. Highly recommend!

Great experience for me and my family. We did a 14 year olds birthday.We escaped within the time limit. If you want some mental exercise at reasonable price then give it a go.

Great experience.- kids and adults had fun. I recommend booking two identical rooms and having two groups race each other. Or just go and have fun figuring things out
