Cityscape Christmas 2019
Bring on the party, Cityscapers! Addington Cup Week kicks off the season we love to love, and we are sooo ready. We bring you all the deets on the biggest week in Christchurch’s social calendar. Important information like what the judges are looking for in The Crossing Fashion Starts Here Best Dressed Competition and stuff about the racing as well, like pointers on how to pick a winner. And thanks to Callam Mitchell and his team at Team Event, Addington Cup Week is just the start of party season. We talk to the promoter putting the icing on Christchurch’s cake this summer. Ladi6 is just one of the fantastic artists he is bringing to town, and we check in with her as well (that’s her gorgeous self on the cover). The days are counting down to Christmas and with that comes the fun and the challenge of finding the perfect gift for all those on your ‘Nice’ list. We live to serve here at Cityscape, and so we have served up a curated Christmas gift guide brimming with ideas fresh and failsafe. Nailing that pressy list is the best reason possible for heading to the central city and exploring its retail hotspots, followed by a drink and some nibbles, of course. We shine our spotlight on what’s new in the inner city, from retail meccas to the hottest hospo hangouts. And if 2020 is looking like the year to put a ring on it, check out our feature on the amazingly creative community of jewellers we have in this city. As always, we also bring you what’s hot in cuisine, events, home and couture.

ESCAPING REALITY
Find the clues, solve the puzzle
and escape! That’s what the
good folks at CodeBreakers live
for and they filled Cityscape in
on some of the adventures to be
had at their two locations.
Y
ou’re stuck in a room with your
friends and the clock is ticking on
your escape – the team at
CodeBreakers are masters at setting up
quirky, challenging and entertaining
scenarios for you to break out of. These guys
recently had a makeover and changed their
name from Crate Escape to CodeBreakers
and with the new name comes a whole raft
of new escape adventures! An escape room
is just that, with a tricky scenario thrown in
for good measure. The aim is to work in a
team to uncover clues, crack codes, solve
puzzles and complete your mission, which is
to get out – all within 60 minutes. Sounds
fun, right? You’ll discover various themes at
each location – you can find the hidden
treasure in the Lost Hut of Antarctica,
become a real-life James Bond in Operation
Mindfall, steal the Mona Lisa in Art Heist, fix a
suspicious supercomputer in Into The Dark,
or stop a maniacal time traveller in The
Misadventures of Max Magnus. You’ll need to
use your wits and follow the clues to find a
way to freedom. Our hot tip is to crank that
handle, plug in that cable and take a closer
look at that map on the wall – literally
everywhere you look is a potential clue to
solve the riddle and move on to the next
before getting out. There are loads of
different clues and puzzles in each of the
themed rooms, with some digital puzzles for
the tech head, tactile puzzles for the hands
on, and cryptic puzzles for the math whizzes
out there. To be crowned victorious, you’ll
have to work together and keep your
thinking cap on to get out of the room, all
while having a bit of a laugh. So, if you’re
looking for something a little out-of-the-box
to do with friends, families, your partner or as
a team-building exercise, you needn’t look
any further than CodeBreakers. Check them
out at 166 St Asaph Street or 492 Colombo
Street. They can accommodate groups of
two to 60 at a time, too!
