This is my escape room blog. I am a New Zealander who has done over 250 rooms throughout New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and the USA. I have worked in the IT industry all my working life and work for a Mobile Carrier in New Zealand for the last couple of years. I run a number of Domain Names such as http://www.unlockit.co.nz which set mobile Carrier settings for iPhones. (Don't worry if you don't understand about this)

Review: Time Traveller @ Playlab - Rainbows End - Manakau

The entire place was so loud with arcade machines (It is inside an Arcade/Entertainment place) and it was very hard to hear the introduction and communicate with people during the game. It had only been open for 2 weeks and a couple of things were already broken.
