This escape room was fun and had some good challenges for our group of three. We really enjoyed some of the mechanics of the room and everything was set up well and worked smoothly.
Thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re glad your group enjoyed the challenge and had fun with the room mechanics. We love adding those extra touches! It's awesome to hear everything ran smoothly. We hope to see you again soon. Cheers, The Confinement Taupō Team
First time in an escape room and we would love to do another one now. The staff member on that day was really nice and helpful, thank you
Thank you, Clare, for the 5-star review! We are so glad you had a great time with us. We'd love to have you back for another adventure. Cheers, The Confinement Taupō Team
This was my sisters first escape room. It was good except we cracked the first clue but nothing happened. It appears the magnet got stuck so we spent 10 minutes getting frustrated as we could hear something click but nothing happened.
Thank you for the 4-Star review! We are pleased you had a fun time with us. We are sorry that pesky magnet got a little too attached! Hope to see you again for another challenge. Cheers, The Confinement Taupō Team

A Sweet and Thrilling Family Adventure!
We had an absolute blast at The Candy Cottage escape room! It was the perfect family outing – heaps of fun, clever puzzles, and just the right mix of spooky and sweet. The story was super engaging from the start setting the scene for an unforgettable adventure. Everyone – from the kids to the adults – got involved, and we loved working together to beat the clock before the witch returned! Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and immersive experience. We’re still talking about it days later!
