“Haven’t yet found an Escape Game room (or any escape room for that matter) that I love quite as much as Gold Rush. Fun, beginner-friendly puzzles, set design and atmosphere like no other. Me and my team find that we keep comparing every room we do to this one, simply because it was such a positive experience. On top of that, when friends ask us what our favorite room we’ve ever done was, it’s always a resounding “Gold Rush!””

“This is my favorite game at this location, it's also their hardest. I played this a few years ago (2021, I think?), and it's had some small updates since then. But it's pretty challenging, and you have to be on your toes during it, especially at the beginning. You start in adjoining rooms and have to go from there.”

“Easily one of my favorite escape rooms! The puzzles were high tech, varied, and really fun (also a bit challenging). The setting & story were incredibly immersive, nostalgic, and a bit humorous. My husband and I made it out, but this room is better suited for a bigger group. Overall, you must try this room if you’re in the area!!”

“This room had all of the quality we've come to expect from the escape game brand! It was expertly executed for such a complex theme as time travel. There were some very inventive puzzles and a unique twist on a standard room since you are time traveling through many time periods including past and present. As typical with TEG, the puzzles made sense and were logical with a mix of physical and mental puzzles.”
