My wife and I did the Forgotten Temple and escaped in about 40 minutes. We have done a few different rooms in the past and found this to be one of the easier ones out there, but overall it was a fun game with some good puzzles. There is an ok storyline associated with the room and it was quite well designed, but it never really felt very immersive and perhaps would benefit from a bit more emphasis on the story. Whilst there are one or two nice electro-magnetic locks, the majority were combination locks for which you have to solve a separate puzzle to get the code. The game was quite linear without a great deal of hunting or problem solving to work out what to do next so it really comes down to whether your team like doing puzzles.

Absolutely great experience, will definitely be going back for the other rooms! From the confirmation email I received to even after the visiting the room, communication was by far the best I have ever received. The friendly staff were accommodating and helpful when my team and I really needed it. Will recommend this to anyone and everyone, you have to try this!

Antoinette is so lovey and accommodating.there website is user-friendly and accessible to all. I like the options to dress up and the atmosphere as well as the various setting options to suit different preferences. We did the Sherlock Holmes maze , although captivating at first - it was drawn out nearing the end and unrealistic near the end. Will definitely be back to try the new challenges ! So glad we found this spot !

That's delightful feedback, many thanks! You seem to be referring to Escape Hunt though, which has sadly closed down. Antionette is delightful, and we will all be missing her!
While we do not have a Sherlock room, we do have some fun adventures! We hope to see you soon!

We did bunker 51 as a family of four. It was good fun, however, we did expect a bit more, it didn't really engage our 10yo boy much. I felt like they gave us a little too much tips, I would really have liked a little more time to figure it out on our own. Good fun, worth a visit.

We're delighted to hear you had fun! Our rooms sadly can be somewhat challenging for a 10 year old, so we usually recommend older players. We look forward to having you back to challenge you in one of our new rooms!

Wow , what an experience. the room we choose was so interesting and really worked my mind. Went as a couple. The guys there were outstanding and very welcoming. Its an experience we will never forget. We are so eager to go back and do the other rooms. Thank you for that wonderful and amazing experience. You guys are awesome. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that's tired of the beach or casino and the mall. This is something you will never stop talking about and will be wanting to go back for more.

I previously tried their Forgotten Temple room but didn't manage to escape. I have previously been to about 4 or 5 Escape Room experiences but today was the 1st time I managed to escape thanks to my awesome partner who was the brain power in our team 😂.
We did the Bunker 51 room you can read all about it on their website. It involves the Government trying to cover up sightings of aliens 😧. The puzzles weren't as obvious as you would think. Challenging but extremely fun.
Escape rooms are one of my favorite activities. I would describe it as a treasure hunt, you have to look for clues and solve various puzzles which eventually lead to a key to get you out of room.
@mindgameescape is based on Chartwell Drive in Umhlanga and has three exciting themed rooms to choose from.
Such a brilliant activity for a date, teambuilding, birthdays or even as a fathers day gift for some family bonding!

Excellent escapism with the whole family working as a team to solve a problem with clues that require thinking out of the box.
An hour of fun if you not attempting to set a record of finishing quickly and being the days fastest.
Advanced bookings essential.
Good one Nick and team.

This was really fun! We did Bunker 51 and were impressed with the quality of the clues and the layout of the bunker with it's different rooms.
A great way to spend an hour while we waited for the weather outside to improve. Will definitely be back when we visit uMhlanga again! Thanks!

Our adventure was initiated by our daughter who did not want to do the traditional expensive and often unwanted gifts for Christmas opting for a shared experience and fun instead. It helpes us realise we work well together as a family and that's pretty cool!
