Gold Rush

The room itself was super fun- however I do have issues with some of the tardiness policy at this location. I understand this is a shared experience and we had 2 people who were booked with us and they were late. We started the room (after giving them a 5 min grace time) and they came in when we had 45 min left on the clock and completed the first portion of the room already. When they arrived it was extremely disruptive. The burden was on us to catch them up and wasting time on the clock to do so. If this location forces a shared experience, there needs to be stricter policies to allow for everyone to enjoy what they paid for. They should not have let them in the room 15 mins after the clock started and this ruined the experience for everyone as they demanded for us to catch them up and ruined the flow of the game.

Much like all the rooms with this company the room was fun and felt like it followed a logical progression. We only needed 1 hint and that was because we had the right answer but didn’t line up the lock correctly. 🤦‍♀️ Did this room with another group and it was a good balance. There was one puzzle that required more math than I prefer but we figured it out.

well themed room, fun puzzles, cute production design. lots of locks and mechanical puzzles + a few near impossible clues, but overall a very nice room. would love to see what this room would be like in a space twice as big with a few more special effects. i tend to find the final “you escaped” climax to be … anticlimactic, and i wish this ended with more of a 💥bang💥 2nd fave room of this location behind playground

I loved the atmosphere, loved the puzzles, and there were some great surprises too. I’m curious to see how much more I would’ve liked this at a different branch, because the NYC Escape Game is very compact, but even still it was so fun!!

I have now done four rooms at The Escape Game and this is my second favorite room with them. Lots of exciting twists and turns and enough puzzles to keep a group busy. The theming was also nice!

A great, mostly Gen-1 game. The Escape Game has their classic clean style and we loved the set/atmosphere.

My group of 5 people escaped with 12 minutes to spare. My friend and I joined a family of 3 for the escape room, and I'm glad we did because I don't think we would've finished with just 2 people. There were a good number of puzzles with a good balance of scavenging and logical puzzle-solving. I think a group size of 4-5 would be great for this room. Overall had a great experience with The Escape Game. They're professional, friendly, passionate, and efficient and they have a seamless hint system. The Gold Rush room was immersive, clean, and had great theming.

My party of 3 escaped with 6 minutes to spare. It was a fun, immersive room with a linear story and some unique puzzles that only get used once. The ending was memorable. Overall, it was an above average escape room that l'd recommend to others.

Very fun!! Very well thought out and engaging
