Your visit to Te Whare Taonga o Waikato Museum and Gallery just took an unexpected turn.
Suddenly you are tasked with a mission to find the secrets hidden within the museum. The clock is ticking, the stakes are high, and the clues are hidden in plain sight.
How it works
Working as team, you’ll move through the galleries of Te Whare Taonga o Waikato, finding stations and solving clues that get you closer to pulling off the ultimate discovery.
This is a collaboration between Te Whare Taonga o Waikato Museum and Gallery and Confinement Hamilton, the escape room experts behind some of the Waikato’s most devious puzzles.
Good to know
This event is open to all ages but is best suited to people aged 16 and over.
Teams must be between 2 and 6 people.
The museum closes to the public at 5pm. Please arrive before this time as latecomers will not be admitted after the doors close.
Food and drinks will not be available within the museum for this event.
If you have been waiting for an excuse to treat yourself, this is it. Donut Day lands on Friday 5 June, and a bunch of Hamilton city centre favourites are rolling out the goods. Whether you love classic cinnamon sugar, filled and frosted, vegan, or need a celiac safe option, you can make a proper morning of it and turn your donut mission into a mini city adventure.
The only catch: these donuts sell out fast. So set your alarm, get in early, and make sure you are at the front of the queue before the best flavours disappear.
Where to get your Donut Day fix in Hamilton city centre
Here are the businesses serving up donuts for Donut Day:
Cream Eatery — 14 Garden Place
Frank Cafe — 220 Tristram Street
Crave Cafe — 130 Rostrevor Street
Wooden Spoon — 169 London Street (100% Celiac Safe — for a Donut Day option made with celiac safety front of mind)
Hello Rosie — Casabella Lane (vegan cafe)
It started with a simple frustration. Three mates came home from living overseas where buying clothes was actually enjoyable, where quality gear didn't cost the earth and the whole experience didn't feel like a chore. They looked at what was on offer in New Zealand and thought: we can do better than this.
So in 2004, they did. 3 Wise Men was born.
More than two decades later, the mission hasn't changed. Quality gear at fair prices, no fluff, no fuss, just a genuine place to kit yourself out properly. The Hamilton store has been part of Ward Street for over ten years now, and it's become something of a local institution for guys who want to dress well without making a big deal of it.
The right gear for the right moment
Walk in and you'll find everything you need for whatever's coming up: a job interview, a wedding, a Friday that somehow turned into a big night out, or just a better version of your everyday wardrobe. The range covers shirts, chinos, jackets, knitwear, footwear, and suits, with styles that sit somewhere between classic and current. Nothing try-hard. Just well-made clothes that work.
Pricing is kept deliberately straightforward too. You'll always know where you stand, with no confusing markups or sale theatrics. What you see is what it costs. That transparency has always been part of the deal.
More than just a shop
The team at 3 Wise Men Hamilton know their stuff, and they're happy to share it. Whether that's helping you find the right suit for a mate's wedding, pointing you towards a shirt that works for the office and after work, or just helping you put something together that actually looks the part.
The culture inside the business goes by a simple name: Good Buggers Rule. No hard sell, no pressure, no attitude. Just good service from people who actually like what they do.
Part of the neighbourhood
The Hamilton store sits on Ward Street alongside some of the city centre's best independent retailers. It's the kind of precinct that rewards a proper walk around, and 3 Wise Men fits right in. Whether you're already in the area or making a specific trip, it's worth your time.
If you're after value, check out our 3 for $333 bundles: three quality pieces for $333. It's a solid way to build out your wardrobe without overthinking it.
