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.

There were a couple of mechanical glitches. The GM immediately entered (in character) to reset. Flowed continued quickly despite the minor interruption.

Another solid game from this company. This one for me was not as good as USS McCoy. There were several puzzles that I really liked, and some that were not as good. We also lost a good bit of time on a prop that malfunctioned causing us a bit of frustration. The time keeping in the game was also a bit confusing, and I was sure we had lost the game, but we actually had an additional 15 minutes that I had been confused about. Anyway, we had a fun time in this room and I would certainly recommend it if you are ever in the Asheville area.

This game was a lot of fun and the gm played his intro role well. There were some very unique puzzles that I hadn’t seen before and really enjoyed. One thing to note is that it is a very old building and I don’t think there is air conditioning. Might want to consider that or verify it if very sensitive.

The gm here treated us so well! We felt welcomed from the moment we walked in. Not to mention, we played both games and had the best time. Both rooms were challenging, fun, and felt like you were emerged in the scenario!

We really enjoyed the immersive-ness this place brought to the room. It really made me feel like you were apart of the story. Puzzles were interesting and the game master did a good job. We did have some technical / mechanical issues with the game that took us out of the immersion a little bit. But other than that this was a great room.

Some props did have some wear and tear on it. Certain objects also had a hard time triggering. Took a couple of attempts to get it to work right.

Just as good as their other room. Plenty of non- linear puzzles so everyone could be working on something. GM again added to the immersion. In-theme clue system. Go to Black mountain Escapes. Do both rooms. You will not be sorry.
