Breakout Auckland is an escape room venue at 490 Ti Rakau Drive in Golflands, Auckland. Teams of two to six people have 60 minutes to escape a locked room, using clues rather than physical challenges. The website lists rooms including Most Wanted, a Wild West saloon story, Crimson Lake Motel, a murder mystery, a flu lab, and Cursed Carnival. It warns that the murder room has fake blood and may not suit younger children. Group prices are $29 each for groups of 15 or more, as at 2026, and one supervising adult per room is free. Sessions run from 10am to 10pm on Saturdays and 10am to 5pm on Sundays, though times can vary. Birthday party packages are offered, with a birthday card and a DJ shout-out, plus one free return visit. Bookings can be made online or by email.
Customers' views are mixed. One group of an adult and three teenagers enjoyed the Vacancy room, used four hints and finished with six minutes to spare, though they said the room could do with a clean. Another said the room was run down, and that some items were broken, so clues had to be given by hand. Staff at the counter are praised for their help, but one visitor said a booking time was wrong and no one was at reception for a while. Our pick in Golflands for a team outing with teenagers and a group of friends.
