Team Building

Why Team Building with Escape Mate?

– Become a secret agent for an hour! Embark on a mission and solve mysteries. 
– All activities are interactive, character-revealing, and a complete crack-up!
– Choose your experience: Spaceship, Ancient Temple,  Spy Game and Atlantis 

Groups must utilise team work, leadership skills, communication, problem-solving, strategizing, time management to complete a puzzle-solving mission in a movie-like, real-life adventure game setting.
Be prepared for a fun-filled challenge, where everyone will have to collaborate to accomplish the mission.
Quality games, outstanding experience and five star reviews is our service guarantee!

All of our rooms have a unique, non-linear structure, which will encourage teamwork and will keep each of the team members busy for the duration of the game.

Inside our escape rooms, we display sets of challenges that can be solved at the same time, ensuring a smooth gameflow.
The games feature many obstacles that require two or more players’ input and co-operation.
The group will need to be working at different areas of the game simultaneously. Only when they bring together their findings they will be able to untangle the mystery and progress to the next stage.

Event programme:

A standard escape room experience is a 90 minute session that can cater to 2-22 players split into two teams, playing The Spaceship and the Ancient Temple games. The experience includes a mission briefing before the game, 60 minutes in the room itself and team photographs afterwards.
By adding the Spy Game to the event programme, we can cater to groups of 12 to 44, extending the session to a 2.5 hour activity. The Spy game is a special agent themed team building session held in our meeting room. For more information on our team building options and pricing, see the section below.

Bookings are essential, please email us at booking@escapemate.co.nz to enquire about availability and to make a reservation, or call 021 0225 4443.

What is the ‘Spy Game’ option?

The Spy game is an add-on option for larger teams and is a series of fun, team building activities all centred around what type of secret agent your group would make at an intelligence agency. This takes place in our meeting room area and comes with a fun mixture of challenges and tea, coffee and snacks as part of the costing. 

This option is only available to larger groups of 12-44 players and is subject to availability.

We usually split the group into 2 teams and Spy Game is being played as a simultaneous activity to the escape rooms. We will have half of the team playing Spy Game in our meeting room,  while the other half is playing in the escape rooms. Once they have completed their hour long activities, the teams swap over and proceed to another game. 

If however the team is a group of 12-18 players we can opt to have the team play the Spy Game all together as a warm up activity before the escape games. 

*PLEASE NOTE: The Spy Game option can not be booked along with the Atlantis room as they are situated in separate offices. For larger group bookings wishing to include the Spy Game add-on, you will be able to book the Spaceship and Temple rooms.
