We’ve discovered a time machine in the basement of Black Mountain’s oldest building! It’s going to take just the right team to operate it successfully.

Adored this clever game! Used the old building well while still allowing for high-tech additions! The non-linear puzzles flowed well, allowing for full group involvement! Immersive with excellent props and sets! Play all of the games here! Worth the trip!

Wonderful room and a lot of fun! Unique puzzles and a great theme! The amazement started before even entering the room. Our GM was awesome and really added to the flavor and immersion. Can't wait for the prequel 🤞

It was fun. I enjoyed playing this with my family, but I don’t think it’s as good as some of their other games. Overall fun experience and good game.

This location is an escape room gem. Best in Asheville area after trying the other top-rated ones. Host is passionate and welcoming. The atmosphere for *this* room at least was great. Host's acting was excellent. Story was good and puzzles were fun. A few things in the room felt old and worn out, but everything worked.

This game was enjoyable. Personally, it was probably my least favorite at this location but it was still good. The room was immersive and the puzzles were fun but I felt as if the other rooms had a bit more personality. That being said, I would still recommend this room if you enjoyed the other rooms at this location and are looking for something a bit more challenging in regards to the puzzles!
The puzzles in this game were pretty fun!
This room was larger than I expected and fit in with the story.
The GM was kind and helpful throughout.

It’s cool how they aim to incorporate the building and significant figures into the storyline for each of their rooms.

The level of difficulty could vary based on how many escape rooms you’ve done. This is technically Black Mountain Escape’s hardest room but it’s definitely not as hard as escape rooms at other locations.

There was only one puzzle that didn’t trigger the clue as expected. The game master was accommodating and helped us through the malfunction though.
Kind of, the game master also served as an actor for a small portion of the introduction to the game. There was no live actor in the room with you and they were not there to scare you.
Not at all
Some spaces were a bit crowded and we went up stairs to get to the entrance to the room (I don’t know if there was a more accessible entrance to the room). Some puzzles required visual observation and color.

The room was great! Dont judge the room by its appearance, it isn’t the most elegantly decorated. However, it is quite involved with technology and surprises!

This game was wonderful…for the most part. The set design is great. The puzzles overall were really good. There was some really cool tech pieces that we hadn’t seen before. While we enjoyed Vanishing Act more, this room is well worth playing.
