Room with a Clue: New Live ‘Escape the Room’ Concept to Challenge Kiwis
Escape Hunt, the
worldwide live escape game phenomenon is now open in
Takapuna, Auckland
Auckland, July 17
2017: Can you guess which live edu-tainment genre
is sweeping the world? Here’s a
clue…
/
The Escape Hunt
Experience, one of the top attractions in multiple
cities across the world (highly rated on Trip Advisor), has
rapidly become the global leader in escape games with games
in 19 countries world-wide (and has recently listed on the
London Stock Exchange).
The concept is now open 10:00am
to 10:00pm in Takapuna, Auckland –
joining the already successful Australian branches in
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and the Gold
Coast.
Based on "escape games", a popular genre for
gaming enthusiasts with simple rooms you have to escape
using a combination of clue-hunting and puzzle-solving.
Escape Hunt takes this idea to a new and
family friendly level integrating the concept of escape
rooms into an exciting New Zealand themed adventure.
A
unique and versatile attraction, the Escape
Hunt experience involves teams of two to five
people being ‘locked’ inside a mystery room and required
to use their combined skills to find clues, solve puzzles
and crack codes in order to beat the clock in under 60
minutes. Can you escape the room in time?
Positioned in
central Takapuna, Escape Hunt’s success
and mass appeal is down to its family-friendly atmosphere
truly catering for all audiences. The rooms cater to
families of all ages (recommended seven years +), tourists
and locals, corporate celebrations and team building, first
dates and school groups.
Teams escape from a themed room
with the help of a "game master" who watches from outside
via CCTV and assists as required. After the game, teams can
enjoy complimentary refreshments in the luxurious and
spacious lounge as well as participate in a fun detective
themed photo shoot.
Transported into a different era,
players will go back in time to complete one of three unique
Kiwi adventures, including the world’s first rugby
themed escape room. Can you escape from getting
lost in the Milford Track or from a shipwreck in the
Auckland Islands?
Paul Bart, CEO and Founder
of Escape Hunt, “We’re really excited to be growing
our network across Australia and New Zealand. This is a
unique entertainment offering to the market that promotes
mind stimulation, education, learning and most importantly
good fun. As winter draws in the Escape Hunt experience is a
great alternative for family and friends to indoor
activities such TV or video games“
Built to test the master of
minds, the concept is the brainchild of Bart who is a
qualified psychologist. Each mystery game has been designed
to challenge the senses and requires brainpower, teamwork,
decision making, resilience, perseverance, problem solving,
codebreaking, puzzles, and plenty of red herrings.
Bart continues “Escape Hunt has
becomes a popular venue for hosting a number of corporate
team building events and has even been used as part of the
interview process for potential job candidates. The one of a
kind activity promotes cohesion, communication skills,
teamwork, problem solving and creative thinking in a fun and
motivational environment. “
Each branch has unique
games created and changed regularly. These are created in
the Escape Hunt Operations Game Design Academy (EHO GDA),
the only one of its kind in the world, located in Bangkok at
the heart of the global operations also located there.
