What makes a great birthday party is often determined by the type of keiki you’re celebrating. If your kid can’t sit still long enough to blow out his candles or is most at ease in nature, match their style to a special celebration all their own.

For a gamer

For children into games and problem solving, Mystery Maui offers personalised game-nights  and quizzes as well as two types of escape rooms. Players have 60 minutes to complete the circuit and puzzles. Groups can be no larger than 6 and children below 6 play for free. The Fun Factory is another great spot with video and arcade-style games as well as rides with a 10 person maximum capacity per group and 90 minutes of play-time. Food and themed decorations can be brought in.

For a ball of energy
