Inside The Room
From the first click to the final sprint, this is how it usually goes down. The clock only runs one way.
Your briefing ends, the world outside disappears, and someone immediately starts opening drawers.
That click. The room cheers. Confidence is dangerously high.
The room is bigger than you thought. Everything you knew is wrong.
Someone takes charge. Someone else is still holding a clue from 20 minutes ago.
One puzzle left, under a minute on the clock. This is the moment you came for.

“Has got to be the best escape room I have ever attended — really creatively designed and extremely fun to play.”
Oliver Evans · Google
"As someone who's done escape rooms in all the main Wellington locations, these are consistently the best. High quality design, props, an automated hint system & great themes."
"My 13 year old and her friends had a blast! Easy to find, ample parking, and the escape room had the kids thrilled. Will definitely be back!"
"This place is so amazing, it turned me and my family into escape room junkies. 10/10, would 100% recommend."

"We have done all of the rooms currently offered at Xcape and have loved every experience! The staff are incredibly friendly and enthusiastic."
"Totally enjoyable and challenging with the family. Great service by the team, great detail and trick in the room. Highly recommend."

Never played before?
Your team enters a fully themed world. The story starts, the door closes, the clock starts ticking. (Don't worry, the door's never really locked.)
Search everything. Crack codes, find hidden doors, connect the clues. Everything you need is inside the room, and your game master can nudge you if you're stuck.
Beat the clock and claim the victory photo. Fail, and you'll be back next weekend for revenge. They always come back.
Any excuse works
Kids & adults. Private rooms, zero cleanup, all the bragging rights.
Up to 40 players, 8 per room across all 5 rooms, head-to-head on the clock
Ages 10+. Family bragging rights are on the line.
One hour locked in together. Cheaper than couples therapy.
Wellington weather ruined the plan? We're indoors.
Stuck for a present? Give them an hour they'll actually remember.
