One of the most immersive escape room experiences in town. The puzzles are intricate and challenging. The Gold Rush room has some unique game mechanics that I have not seen in other escape rooms. Will definitely be back.
The 1800s California gold rush was a time when just about anyone could get lucky with a fortune. No one knew this better than your recently deceased relative, Clyde Hamilton. Though he’s since passed, the prospector left behind quite a pretty penny in gold. As his surviving next of kin, he’s offered you a chance to claim the gold fortune as an inheritance for yourself…if you can find it! You’ve only got 60 minutes to get into Clyde’s cabin and take the gold stash before news of the fortune reaches other greedy ears in town…
My 6th grader and I had the absolute best time in the gold rush escape room. We can’t wait to come back and try the playground room with other friends.

Loved the Gold Rush. It was our third room to visit. It’s perfect. Not too easy, but not hard enough to need many hints. Finished w 8 mins to spare. Never felt stressed, it just flowed! Probably our most enjoyable escape. Although prison break was awesome! — Tough but awesome. Meadow and Hannah were great hostesses. 👍

Pam
I proposed to my partner last night in the gold rush room, and The Escape Game employees were in full cahoots with me to make this so special. I can’t thank them enough!!
I especially want to say thank you to Jennifer for doing the event planning, and Angel our game master for making everything happen in the room we traveled from Michigan just to come here for this and I couldn’t have planned it any better. We will be back for sure!!!
Heather
Nikki watched as we crushed the Gold Rush room in 34 minutes and our co-workers in other rooms weeped at our awesomeness... Would highly recommend.

Molly
Dude best place ever!! Did gold rush today now on to conquer all the other rooms! The staff was amazing!
Carlos
We did gold Rush and that was crazy fun!!! The puzzles were all over the place and the clues were just as intense. We got way into it but hey! We escaped!! Would do again ASAP.
Israa
Went here with a group from work. We were in the Gold Rush game. It was so well thought out and the tasks were well connected to each other. Great team building experience! I would definitely recommend this and would definitely go back.
It gives a whole new meaning to "get a clue!!"
Betsy
Yay! We escaped!!!! We did the "Gold Rush" with Missy and it was a blast! The scenery and the amount of detail put into this game was awesome. This is a great family or team bonding activity. We will definitely be going back!
Breanna
So much fun! We did Gold Rush and I loved the attention to detail; it was truly an immersive experience. No two clues used the same logic, which kept us on our toes. The staff was friendly and helpful. Can't wait to try another room!
Jo
The clues were easy enough to find but sometimes difficult to understand. The teenagers were instrumental in our success. Guide was excellent.

I have done over 30 escape games in the Cincinnati area. I know I'm obsessed! My boyfriend took me here for my birthday. We did the gold rush room which they allowed us to book for just the two of us! After they let us pick out two free T-shirt's and gave me a $25 Starbucks gift card. They then send if we do another room right then it's 50% off. We had such a realistic first-class experience with the first room so we did the museum heist next! Another INCREDIBLE experience. I have taken groups back to do the other two rooms since that night and again, they were out of this world. By far my favorite escape room yet! These people are first class and treat you as such!!

We did "The Gold Rush" experience and it was so fun! Our guide was great and helpful. The assistant manager, Jeremy is a true delight and professional. The rooms are clean and very detailed. This is great for team building, a friends night out, or family. I recommend The Escape Game 5 times over!!

Truly my favorite escape room experience to date (and I've done about 30, with various companies in various locations). The Escape Game Cincinnati is the best company in the tri-state. The rooms are immaculate, immersive, creative, and beautiful. Every room offered is spectacular. When you walk into Gold Rush, you are greeted with the night sky, trees, and a quaint log cabin that couldn't be more realistic without plopping you in a field someplace in rural West Virginia. I am pretty sure they were even piping in pine tree scent to make it even more immersive. HOW COOL. Aesthetics were the best I've ever seen. Also, puzzle design is awesome and varied. A lot of times, there is a kink, even in the best of rooms where everyone in the group gets stuck and either needs a clue or is just anxious to move on to the next thing, and that never happened here. Smooth, intuitive, but still challenging game play. Each puzzle was as good or better than the last. I am a seasoned escape room player and I couldn't help but grin at every new, neat idea the company employed to make this room stand out. I highly recommend overall (10/10) and this room ties for best room with this company (with The Heist). Gold Rush will go down as one of my favorite escape games, ever!

Escape rooms are taking the United States by storm! The goal of the game is to find a way out of a locked room within the given time limit. Work as a team to solve logical puzzles, uncover clues, and follow the storyline to unravel the mystery. Each riddle brings you one step closer to the ultimate escape! Escape room games are great for a night out with friends, a date, a birthday celebration, or a team-building activity in the United States.
