More about Gold Heist in the Gold Rush

Based on a real Central Otago gold robbery! Gold Heist is set back in the 1860s gold rush in a bustling gold mining town called Queenstown. The biggest gold heist ever in the region has just happened. The gold bank’s vault is empty!

It’s your job as an elite team of detectives to time travel back to Queenstown 1860s to unravel the secrets of the Gold Bank, discover who stole the gold, transmit this information to the authorities and escape the room!

We have two identical Gold Heist in the Gold Rush rooms so this is the ideal game for a group wanting to race head to head in two teams.

The total score of a review doesn't have to be the average of your subscores. Sometimes a room feels like it should deserve a higher (or lower) rating than the exact sum of its parts.

Very fun, detective type heist

its a more traditional escape room where the puzzles themes really fit into the theme.
the finishing of the room is good and you detective yourself a way to the suspects and the gold.
Only the keycard system was 'off' for the time setting of the room

Its certainly worthwile if you're close. the airconditioning is nice, even though the rooms are somewhat noisy to adjacent rooms.
