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 βyou escapedβ climax to be β¦ anticlimactic, and i wish this ended with more of a π₯bangπ₯ 2nd fave room of this location behind playground

I loved the atmosphere, loved the puzzles, and there were some great surprises too. Iβm curious to see how much more I wouldβve 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.

Escape Game really canβt disappoint - they do what they do very well. Of all the rooms Iβve done though here I would say this is one of the weaker ones. The puzzles were still satisfying, but the theme didnβt seem to be as strong as in their other rooms.

Gold Rush features the typical high quality to be expected from a The Escape Game room. The puzzles are all fair,(except for one involving hand eye coordination and a steady finger). The narrative is a light hearted fun, and the finale is a blast!
