Mindgame Escape: Have You Got What it Takes?

By Mums Mail Magazine03/07/20194 Mins Read
Open-plan living continues to be popular

Can you escape in 60 minutes? Unleash your inner detective!

Your detective expertise is needed! Bring your friends and colleagues to form your own team of adventurers; gather clues, solve puzzles, combine information, decipher secret meanings and trigger hidden mechanisms. Success can only be achieved by working together, and you will need to combine your brainpower to stay cool and profit from each other’s strengths while the clock is ticking. Will you escape in time?

Book online

Easy online bookings on their website using a secure payment gateway. They accept EFT, direct deposit, debit and credit cards. All bookings are confirmed instantly!

Get locked in for 60 minutes

You will have to work together to find hidden clues, solve puzzles and escape the room. You will have 60 min to escape the room, but the whole experience may take up to 90 minutes.

Find clues & solve our puzzles

While they generally advise not to leave the house without your hat, magnifying glass and whip, you don’t need any gear to play their games!

Mindgame Escape in Umhlanga has three awesome escape rooms for you to choose from:

Sherlock Holmes Baker Street

Murder!  Panic! The streets aren’t safe anymore. You have been tasked with bringing down Victorian London’s most notorious gang – The Baker Street Five – and solving the ultimate murder mystery!

Baker Street Mystery challenges players to solve a murder mystery while attempting to dismantle the notorious Baker Street Five, a high-profile gang that has been terrorising Victorian London. Can you carefully observe your surroundings, find the subtlest of clues, and correctly piece together the mystery to identify the members of the Baker Street Five before the trail grows cold?

Bunker 51

In 1948 a mysterious Unidentified Flying Object was spotted flying low over Umhlanga. Despite extensive news coverage, the government discounted the sightings as a low flying plane landing at Virginia Airport.

More than 70 years later in April 2019 – we discovered secret government files had been leaked. The files contain plans for a secret underground base called Bunker 51. They also contain information of proven alien life, and how the government covered it up.

With this information on hand, our team have uncovered the entrance to this mysterious secret base. We do have a problem though, we have not been able to decode the puzzle needed to open the door.

Can you and your gang solve the mystery and enter the bunker before getting caught? Will you be able to uncover and explain the alien cover-up? Hurry, we urgently need your assistance before the bunker is lost forever….

The Forgotten Temple

A new, unexplored ancient Mayan Temple was discovered just 3 weeks ago! Archaeologists are both excited, and baffled – they have found inscriptions referencing a dreaded curse, but cannot decipher the exact descriptions! They requested assistance, but it seems we have a massive problem!

The first team of archaeologists that entered to explore the temple have not been heard from since. The locals tell tales of an ancient curse, a Mayan King and the death of his firstborn. We need your team to venture into a long forgotten time with flickering fires and secret passages. It seems many teams have entered, but none have escaped…

Do you have what it takes to escape before falling victim to the dreaded curse?

This is a great idea for birthday parties and team building!! I took my son and 10 of his friends recently for his 17th birthday and they all had a fantastic time. They came out of there raving about how good it was and how much fun they had. The boys did the ‘Baker Street’ and ‘Forgotten Temples’ rooms. It was a first time experience in an escape room for many of the boys so if you are looking for something a little different to celebrate a birthday, that the kids probably haven’t done before then this is definitely it! We will be back to try out the other rooms soon…
