Press Release: Escapism

Escapism is proud to be the first escape room company on the Hibiscus Coast to carry the official 'New Zealand Made' mark. Every escape room experience at Escapism is designed and built entirely in-house - making it one of the very few companies in the industry to craft the full experience end to end right here in Aotearoa.

By choosing to design locally rather than outsourcing game design and construction, Escapism ensures that every idea is original, every storyline is fresh, and the entire experience is truly unique. These are rooms you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

This dedication to thoughtful design has earned Escapism glowing feedback, with more than 600 five-star Google reviews in its first year of operation. With performance metrics now pointing to Escapism as one of the top escape room providers in the country, the team is thrilled to carry the NZ Made mark.

With the Buy New Zealand Made campaign (https://www.buynz.org.nz/) now open to service providers as well as physical products, Escapism saw a great opportunity to highlight its local uniqueness and join a growing network of Kiwi-made excellence.

Buy New Zealand Made is the country’s longest-running buy-local campaign, with a 36-year legacy of helping promote homegrown businesses. While Escapism is still a young company, it shares the same commitment to supporting local enterprise - not just by joining the NZ Made programme, but also by actively promoting other local hospitality and tourism businesses in the community. This includes partnerships with fellow operators on the Hibiscus Coast and the creation of a local tourism hub at www.adventuresonthehibiscuscoast.com, designed to encourage Aucklanders and visitors alike to discover what the region has to offer.
