My husband and I went with four of our friends to celebrate our anniversary. We escaped from the Black Gold room with 13 minutes to spare. It was so much fun! Our host was Mel and he made our experience even better! Will definitely be returning to try out the other two rooms!

Description:

That old Texas wildcatter spirit – it’s still around if you know where to look. And speaking of knowing where to look... What if I told you where there is an ocean of oil and it could be all yours if you can claim it? See, there’s this old oilman who passed on just before hitting the big one, and his rig is still there, waiting for whoever can get that oil out of the ground. If you can figure it out, it’s all yours, but there’s a catch: you only have 60 minutes...

Reviews of escape game "Black Gold"

I enjoyed the other two rooms more than Black Gold, although it is still a great set up. It is a little dark in the room, and we found ourselves unsure of what the next step would be on multiple occasions. Our gamemaster had to help guide us along as to what to look for next, as it just wasn't as intuitive. There were some elements of this room that were a little too out-of-the-box (as in, if we hadn't been told what to do, we probably would have never thought of the solution). Overall, a fine room, but I would recommend Captive and The Heist before this one. My team of 4 people escaped in about 51 minutes.

My team did the Black Gold room recently and managed to make it on the leaderboard! The puzzles were intricate and creative, and the game master was just helpful enough without giving too much away. My only slight complaint was the ending; we didn't know we'd finished until we were informed by the game master, which was a bit of a letdown. But overall, we loved it! I would definitely recommend Cipher and I can't wait to try the other two rooms!
