Birthday parties in Dunedin

An hour where nobody looks at a phone. Escape rooms give a birthday group one shared problem, a clock, and a story to tell about it for months afterwards.

Rooms take 2 to 6 players, so a group of 12 runs two rooms side by side and races. Children 12 and under are $25 each with an adult playing alongside them.

On the day

How a birthday booking works

  1. Pick a room and a time online. Allow 90 minutes at the venue in total.
  2. Arrive 15 minutes early so the game master can brief everyone and take the group photo.
  3. Play the hour. Game masters adjust the hint pace for younger groups so the room stays fun.
  4. Finish in the lounge with photos and bragging rights.

Food and cake

We do not have a kitchen, but you are welcome to bring a cake and use the lounge before or after your game. Tell us when you book and we will keep the space free for you.

Younger children

The Brickening is the room we recommend for players under 10. It rewards careful looking rather than lateral thinking, so younger players stay involved for the whole hour. An adult needs to play with any group that includes under 12s.
