We've got great news: Escape Room Aurum<\/a> has won a Golden Lock Award from Room Escape Artist. This international award is given to the most outstanding escape rooms in the world, and we\u2019re incredibly proud that Aurum is now among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Golden Lock Award?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Room Escape Artist travels the world to play and review escape rooms. Only a small percentage of the rooms they visit receive a Golden Lock Award \u2014 a recognition for experiences that truly stand out in terms of innovation, quality and overall experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Room Escape Artist review <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In their comprehensive review<\/a> David from Room Escape Artist highlights how Aurum stands out through its focus on teamwork and fair play. A key element is the system where each player is given a distinct role, ensuring that both the fun and the challenge are evenly shared across the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aurum\u2019s world and atmosphere were also praised, described as a unique blend of styles with memorable interactions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What means the most to us is their emphasis on teamwork \u2014 that the game is designed in such a way that no single player can dominate, and everyone plays an equal role in the experience. That\u2019s exactly what we set out to create when developing Aurum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why this award means so much to us<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the very beginning, our goal with Aurum was to go beyond the traditional escape room. We wanted to create an experience where story, technology, puzzles and cooperation come together seamlessly \u2014 an adventure where everyone is actively involved and truly part of the story.\n\nTo see that recognised and appreciated by international experts means a great deal to our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big thank you to our players \u2764\ufe0f<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This award is not just recognition of our work, but also of everyone who has played Aurum. Your enthusiasm, reviews and word of mouth have played a huge role in making this possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haven\u2019t played Aurum<\/a> yet. Now might be the perfect moment to discover why this room is officially among the best escape rooms in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
