We have nice news: Escape Room Aurum has won a Golden Lock Award from Room Escape Artist. This is an international award given to the world's most extraordinary escape rooms. We are super proud that Aurum is now among this selection.
What is the Golden Lock Award?
Room Escape Artist travels all over the world to play and review escape rooms. Only a small percentage of all the rooms they play end up receiving a Golden Lock Award. It recognises experiences that stand out for innovation, quality and experience.
The review of Room Escape Artist
In their comprehensive review describes David from Room Escape Artist that Aurum stands out for teamwork and a fair play experience. A key part of this is the mechanism where each player is given a distinct role. According to Room Escape Artist, this ensures that the fun and challenge are perfectly distributed among the team.
Aurum's world and atmosphere were also praised. They called it a unique blend of styles with special interactions:
“To top it all off, BackSpace Escape Rooms built an unusual game world, and filled it with nifty interactions that we were delighted to share with one another. Aurum: Order of Gold was a mechanics-forward game with an undercurrent of narrative, and it came together in a well-executed package. I highly recommend playing this game if you're in Amsterdam.”
What gets us personally is that they stress that teamwork is really central and that the game is designed so that no one can dominate, everyone plays an equal role in the adventure. That's exactly what we had in mind when we developed Aurum.
Why this award is so special to us
From the beginning, we wanted to make Aurum more than a traditional escape room. We wanted to create an experience where story, technology, puzzles and cooperation come together completely. An adventure in which everyone actively participates and feels part of the story. The fact that international experts recognise and appreciate this means a lot to our team.
Thanks to our players ❤️
