About
Solve it and Escape is Invercargill's premier escape room destination, located on Dee Street in the heart of the city. This attraction stands out in Southland for offering immersive, puzzle-filled experiences that challenge groups to think creatively and work together under time pressure. With a 4.9-star rating from over 200 reviews, it's earned a reputation as one of the region's most engaging indoor activities — whether you're a first-timer or an escape room veteran.
Visitors should expect thoughtfully designed rooms with compelling narratives, varied difficulty levels, and genuinely clever puzzles that reward observation and lateral thinking. Sessions typically run 60 minutes and suit everyone from families with teenagers to corporate teams, couples on a rainy-day date, and solo players joining group bookings. The atmosphere is welcoming and professional; staff are helpful without spoiling the challenge. Most groups complete the experience feeling either triumphant or entertained by how close they came — it's genuinely fun either way. Book ahead, especially weekends and school holidays.
It fits naturally into a Southland visit as a weather-independent activity that works year-round. Pair it with a walk along the nearby Invercargill waterfront, a visit to the Southland Museum, or lunch at one of Dee Street's cafés. It's particularly valuable on those crisp Southland days when outdoor exploration feels less appealing. Allow 90 minutes total (including briefing and debrief) and arrive 10–15 minutes early.
