I Need to go Looting for Gold…
…because this escape room left me with no money! If you bring a team smaller than 4 during peak time, you pay the price. Concessions aren’t valid during this time, either.
Story
Grab the town’s newly-discovered gold, fix up an old train and escape on it before bandits arrive to steal the gold and kill you.
Puzzles
Related to the theme, but clumsy mechanics were littered throughout. We failed to do one particular task properly the first time and was told to essentially cheat it in order to continue.
Mise-en-scene
It looked run-down even for a town in the Wild West. The wooden interior did give saloon vibes, and a train segment added a little change of scenery.
Final Comments
My friend and I only got out with 10 seconds left, so at least we got as much value for money as practically possible! This one is a soft pass.
This was one of my favourite rooms 100 rooms or so ago as it was the first room we'd ever done where the objective wasn't just to escape. Although it looks from current reviews that it might be run down. I remember we were super impressed with Escape Hunt Manchester as they decorated everywhere for our big birthday escape weekend. Tbf it's still the nicest thing any venue has ever done for our group.
This room was severely let down by one puzzle (without spoilers)
- We completed it logically and were told that we had to complete it a different way to count (fair enough we did kind of skip the puzzle)
- We then completed it the intended method only to be told we weren't "enthusiastic" enough in completing the puzzle so had to do it again
This
was one of the last puzzles so severely soured our experience. The rest
of the puzzles were fine, especially for the 3 first timers with us
Non-linear escape room that was quite easily solved as a 2, so I can imagine it can be breezed through as an 4. Very pretty and immersive set
This was so fun! We took the Mother/Mother-in-law to do this one and she had such a good time! Great hosting too 🙂 Would recommend!
Disappointing room, a couple of puzzles hadn't been reset properly, some had to be over ridden by the game master and some just didn't make any sense or flow at all.

Picking a game for the afternoon slot at Escape Hunt's Oxford branch was a choice between pirates and cowboys, and we chose the latter. Wild West casts you as lucky but imperilled miners: having discovered a rich seam of gold in a remote and dusty frontier town (incongruously but conveniently already formed into bars), you now need to make a quick exit by train before the local gangsters arrive to take it all from you.
That premise is used for an unusual scoring system. You need to find as many...
Escape Hunt, Oxford impressed us with one of our favourite games to date. Since playing ‘Escape the Wild West’ we’ve been and played all the other rooms at Escape Hunt, Oxford
