HOW IT WORKS
You’ll check in at Escape Quest, 53 Shotover St. You will be given a short briefing and an iPad Pro based tutorial. We have a secure locker for you to store any bags or items you don’t wish to carry on your mission.
​
You and your teammates will then set off with an iPad Pro and a Escape Kit which contains everything required to complete your mission. You’ll walk a total of approx 1.5 kms over the 1 hour game time.
​
The iPad Pro has a game interface, Augmented Reality tools, hints to help when needed and a timer. You’ll share this screen as a team. You can play as a team of up to 6 people, but you may want to split up into smaller team sizes given each team shares a single iPad screen.
​
For larger group bookings (24+) please contact us here, we can currently host groups of 30 or even more with notice.

“Epic outdoor escape room experience, very cleverly put together and so nice to hear about the history of queenstown got you really thinking out of the box. Would highly recommend for team building activity or when friends come to town. Staff were super friendly and explained everything really well.”

“We tried the new outdoor escape and it was awesome! Walking around queenstown using the tablet, backpack and items for the game was quite fun. The instructions and the ar(augmented reality ) and interactivity was really well done and presented, definitely another way to see queenstown! My partner and i loved it.”
