Mark as done to rate

Back in 1898, the town of Silver City, Idaho was a flourishing and prosperous mining town. Silver City was doing so well that it attracted visitors from all walks of life. Unfortunately, this included thugs, thieves and gangs of men looking to steal a quick buck. One of the most notorious gangs of the era was the Rattlesnake Gang. The gang consisted of four dastardly bandits: Buckaroo Bill Arbaugh, Sundown Samuel Gadsby, Itchy Trigger Price and their evil leader Doc "Fancy Man" Johnson. Although they were well known and wanted by every sheriff from the Snake River to the Idaho Panhandle, the Rattlesnake Gang thrived on their notoriety which explained their penchants for robberies in broad daylight. At high noon on June 1st, 1898, the gang succeeded in robbing the Silver City Bank. It is rumored that they got away with a million dollars in gold that was never recovered. Fast Forward: It is now 121 years later and the year is 2019. World renowned historian and professional treasure hunter, Benjamin Franklin Stokes, has discovered the location of the old Silver City Saloon. Benjamin believes that even though the Rattlesnake Gang were well known wanted men in Silver City that they may have hidden the treasure from their now famous Heist in their favorite hang out, The Silver City Saloon. He has invited you and your team of treasure hunters to the old dilapidated saloon to try and discover the location of the missing gold that is now worth at least a hundred million dollars. BUT BEWARE! The saloon is in very poor shape and could cave in at any moment. You and your team must work together quickly to both locate the missing gold and get out in an hour or less to avoid becoming yet another piece of the Silver City history.

My first escape room! I would recommend to others. The biggest downer was that one of the puzzles was set up wrong and rendered the game unwinnable without extensive trial and error/luck, but an attentive GM notice the problem, stepped in and corrected it and granted us additional time. Fun puzzles and reveals that fit in well with the theme.

Gameplay

There were several aspects where it felt like there were non-intuitive leaps. Like you could decode the clue, but not have an indication of where to use the clue. Overall a good first escape room experience.

Atmosphere

All the props fit well with the theme and felt “in character”. My first escape room so I don’t have a comparison, but I feel like the room construction/ wall finishes could have been more immersive.

Definitely a PG theme and story. Puzzles would be difficult for younger players to solve on their own, but plenty of opportunities for helpers to assist.
