Gold Rush

The room started out so fun then got bogged down at the halfway point with two puzzles that actually quite infuriated me. It took so much time away from us that as we progressed to the end we were overwhelmed with how much was left to do. Some decisions made it annoying but overall the theme and the quality is all there. Also can never complain about the game guides have not had a bad one at TEG yet!

Good room but not great imo. Our group of three managed to escape but had a few minor issues that took away from the experience.

I really really enjoyed this room! Our game master made it an enjoyable and memorable experience and overall it was a really amazing introduction for me to this company - as its the first room I’ve done here

My second ever escape room and the room the hooked my kids into this family passion of ours.

Puzzle Quality: 13.5/20 Looks/Theme: 12/15 GameMaster Rating: 8.5/10 Operation Fluidity: 4.5/5 Combined Rating: 38.5/50 Overall Difficulty: 4/10 Quick Notes: - Multiple rooms, smaller in size. - Need at least 1 reasonably agile person! - Not exactly original concept, but done well nonetheless. CATEGORIES EXPLAINED IN MORE DETAIL BELOW: Puzzle Quality - How intuitive, logical, and unique the puzzles were. How well do the puzzles fit the theme? Looks/Theme - How much effort, time, and money went into making an immersive and unique atmosphere. GameMaster Rating - How attentive and helpful was the game master? Were the hints given in a timely manner and were they quality hints that helped but did not give you the solution too directly? Operation Fluidity - Was the game reset properly? Was it clean inside the room? Were the code entry and solution methods working properly as intended? Overall Difficulty - This is fairly subjective but is mostly correlated to how many total puzzles and how time consuming they each are compared against the 60 minute time limit that almost all rooms have. Combined Rating - Simply a total tally out of 50 of the four main categories. (Puzzle Quality and Looks/Theme are weighted a little more because they are the most important parts of having a good experience). The higher the number, the better the room! Just remember that a 5/10 or 7.5/15 or a 25/50 combined rating is an AVERAGE rating (for some reason in most people’s heads, a 5/10 is a below average or bad rating). So if a room has a combined rating of above 25, then it is a quality room and a good experience that I would recommend! It has to be a really well done room to score above a 35.

Room was fun but it was a shared room and we shared with people who had never done an escape room. It brought down our experience and theirs. In this day and age all rooms should be private.

Very creative and fun to solve. Lots of details in the room. We had a blast solving it!

Very entertaining, very interesting and design was great

This was the first game we played at The Escape Game and we were pleasantly surprised. Theming and sets were high quality and the gameplay was fun and challenging. Some great effects. We really enjoyed it.
