Due to a kind-of-semi-scheduled power outage, Epic Escape will be closing from 2:00pm today (Saturday August 1st).

Turns out it's really easy to escape our rooms when all the lights go out... but don't stress, we'll be back to normal and ready to lock you in again tomorrow, Sunday August 2nd!

If you're looking for some Epic fun this weekend, jump over to www.epicescape.co.nz and book your next adventure. We can't wait to see you!

A quick update from the Epic Escape team...

We're excited to announce that we're expecting a new addition to our family any day now!

Because of this, we'll be closed from Friday 3rd July to Sunday 5th July while we welcome our newest family member into the world.

Our extended School Holiday hours begin from Wednesday 8th July, so there will be plenty of opportunities to escape, battle in VR, and grab the latest board games during the holidays!

A couple of important reminders:
• All of our live availability is on our website, please book online whenever possible.
• Walk-in availability will be very limited during the holidays, so bookings are strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.

School holidays are one of our busiest times of the year, so if you've been thinking about visiting, now's the perfect time to lock in your adventure!

We appreciate everyone's understanding and can't wait to welcome you all back for an action-packed holiday season!

We’re interrupting our normal completely irregular posting schedule to ask for your help...

You’ll probably recognize this chair if you’ve been in our lobby - or if you went to school somewhere in NZ. These things seem to unlock core memories for a surprising number of people.

Now we’re on the hunt for a few more, so if you know of a school that has some of these quietly lurking in a storage room somewhere, let us know...
..but they have to be green.

Ready to shuffle your deck and test your spells?

Join us at Epic HQ for a social Magic: The Gathering game evening filled with strategy, clever plays, and friendly rivalry across the battlefield. Whether you’re brewing something chaotic or piloting a finely tuned deck, there’s a seat waiting for you at the table.

A $5 entry charge applies per participant. If you make a board game purchase during the event, your $5 entry charge will be deducted from your purchase price on the night.

Hot drinks will be on hand to keep your focus sharp and your mana flowing.
Seating isn’t infinite (we’re organised… not planeswalkers), so please register your interest to help us plan. Walk-ins are welcome on the night, but RSVPs get first priority for seating.

Head over to www.epicescape.co.nz/board-games to secure your space!
