Felt very poorly made. When clues were solved, a lot of mechanisms didn't seem to work so there…read morewere no obvious signs that the puzzle was completed. We found one of the puzzles had multiple solutions but only 1/4 would work which seemed like bad set up. Solved it in the end but had to go around, feeling around at things to find what the pizzle unlocked

Lost HK is so far my favourite! And I've tried 1x Freeing, 1x Escape HK, 1x MR Xscape or whatever…read more Most of them were not anything to rave about (Although I may have just been unlucky with Freeing. I will try again tomorrow) I've been to 2x Mong Kok (Lost Den & Aching Time of Pi) and 1x CWB (Level 6) All the rooms have been really fun! The Lost Den was easier and was also the first one I ever did. It was a steady progression to find the clues, not like some of the others I've been, where it was nearly impossible to find the clues. The decor at Lost HK is nice too. There's even mechanical/machinery decor. Some of the other ones I've been to were just props. Lost HK spends a decent amount on their renovation and it shows! I went with colleagues as a team building activity and with friends. I personally think 4 people is best for these games, 6 is usually too many and you have some people standing around because you only get like 3-4 flashlights. The unlimited hints was really helpful. I think we annoyed the workers there heh. Their english was not so good though. So probably better speaking to them in Chinese. They do sell drinks but bring your own if you want. They have lockers for your bag, you're not supposed to bring your phone in. Which may be a good thing, phone-free for 45 minutes, that's a rare occasion these days! *** Tip: 4 people for maximum productivity. Book early and online. I've gotten coupons from groupon/beecrazy before but even without, it's cheap. If this is your first time, I recommend you do an easy one. It's not as easy as you think! Favourites: All 3 rooms I've done were fun. Meh: One of the clues required listening to the head phone but the voice recorded was too muffled to make out what was being said Last words: I think this is a really cool concept for team building too. Companies should pay for these events more often =)

I did not manage to free Hong Kong twice but think that this would be a perfect place to have a…read morefirst date. A concept originally brought in by the Japanese, Free Hong Kong is essentially a life-sized RPG where participants enter a themed room to solve a series of puzzles to get out of the scenario within 45 minutes. The location in Causeway Bay has a few themes that appeal to youngsters (zombie, ghost, archaeological adventure, etc). So far I have tried the vampire and archaeology themes but have never been able to solve it, which is a big insult considering during both times solving the puzzle with me are a group of pretty successful street-smart entrepreneurs and top-university educated friends. Each scenario comprises of 3 locked rooms which you need 'free' from by solving a riddle/puzzle as a group. The puzzles usually involve numbers or pattern or some sort of twisted arithmetic. It's not really difficult, task-wise, but you just need to have some lateral thinking to hack some of these. Why I say this is awesome for first dates is that you get to witness your date working under pressure and amongst people of varying intelligence and working styles. Things really could get ugly and true colors do come out in the wash, thereby saving money and eventual heartbreaks. Oh one thing that takes away the star: it's mostly Chinese speaking (staff are very local) and somehow it always smells like teen spirit (aka sweat) there.

The gym has a rock climbing section that is tailored to beginners/younger climbers as little as…read more4yrs old, and a separate boulder climbing section for the more experienced climbers. We came to enjoy the easier side - with little ones in tow though, the adults were busy hooking and unhooking the kids for climbing vs being able to do any climbing ourselves so don't bother paying for yourself to climb if you're here with young kids. The kids favorite was the slide, which is not so much climbing but more hanging onto a handle that pulls you up the slide until you are ready to release at whatever height you are comfortable with. They have many climbing walls/structures and they have english-speaking staff on the floor to help out. Its a good place to stay cool indoors doing the summer and for the kids to release their energy while challenging themselves. They have 105min sessions so check their website for when each session starts (we came at the 3:15pm-5pm session). We stayed for 1.5hrs and it was enough time to try everything. Their website says to reserve online prior to going but we just walked in and paid there with no problem. They have climbing lessons, annual passes, summer passes, etc available. They have cubby holes at the entrance for you to put your bags in, and for an additional hkd$50, you can pay for a more secure locker to store your bags -- you cannot bring bags into the climbing area. Currently, they have a promo until mid-Aug for 2 climbers to climb for hkd$300 (normally it is hkd$250 per person).

From the owner: Currently the biggest rock climbing gym in Hong Kong, we also have Clip N' Climb which is a fun way…read moreto introduce rock climbing to both kids and adults!

I came here after flying a red eye from Thailand so bare with me haha…read more It's a small place with not much height, so a lot of the problems involve traversing a bit. That being said I thought they were challenging and had lots of variety. I didn't like the numbering system they use to set routes. They were colored and then numbered. So there was multiple problems with all the same color in the same area using the same holds. I spent tons of time hanging on the wall looking for the correct holds. It was a bit confusing... Thought it was odd we couldn't wear shoes past the front even though the restroom/toilet is in the back. So I had to go bare foot next to the urinals?? Yucky Cool place with good potential to be a really awesome bouldering gym.
