Gold Rush

The best set and immersive design I’ve been to bar none. Makes sense that this is one of their newer games - thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great room! Some straightforward puzzles and some a little more challenging. Mostly mechanical. Good beginner room and/or for a smaller group. We played with 2 people and I think 4 would be the comfortable max (probably better with 2-3). The room had some really cool surprises and unique features compared to other places. Also nice staff! Only downside of this company/location is that no rooms are private. The rooms are more expensive than any of the rooms we play in Michigan, so the idea of getting stuck with randos sucks, especially at such a high price point. Even booking right before the start time, we almost got stuck playing with other people who were trying to book 2 minutes AFTER our room should’ve started (but they were nice and decided to come back later). They offer 40% off if you book another room right after or 20% off on gift cards, which is nice. If it wasn’t for the risk of shared rooms, we would’ve booked a second room on the spot.

We were a small group of 3 and we were put in with another group. I normally like doing an escape room with people I know, but it was so fun that this room was public because it was nice to meet new people! Game was not that difficult and we worked very well with strangers.

This is a good all-around room. There is nothing super standout in terms of puzzle design apart from one puzzle that comes to mind, but the puzzles were all logical and fun to solve. 0 duds. The on-ramping of the puzzles was done very well, with puzzles starting off easy and relatively uninteresting and progressing to becoming more unique, complex, and satisfying. The set design was nice and detailed. The story was close to nonexistent, but it clearly wasn’t a story-based game, it’s more puzzle-focused. The gameplay did stutter at points when bottlenecks arose with only one person being able to do anything. Also TEG needs to follow the model of the escape room industry and make all games private. Packing 7 people into this room was insane. 4 max.

Super fun immersive and well themed room with a number of different types of puzzles

Successfully done with two players, immersive set, some puzzles weren't working correctly which wasted a lot of time.

5/5

Great set, wonderful atmosphere. Requires some eye-hand coordination.

worth every penny

Very solid room that uses the gold rush theme well! There was no one puzzle that I particularly disliked, though one hands-on challenge was worn out and didn’t seem to be working as intended. There was a fun sequence in the middle, and the difficulty ramp of puzzles was fair, though nothing extraordinary that made me go wow. Good flow with clear signposting! Overall fun! Yeehaw!
