Gold Rush has developed the original event concept based on the eponymous TV show. The event offers an interactive format of live-action quest games for teams with people of any age. The quest game lasts 1.5 hours and is normally held by 1 to 3 hosts. Depending on the model of the event, the venue space may require at least 980 square feet with a ceiling height of 11.5 feet.
Gold Rush quest game scenarios are individually selected for each type of event. They are perfect for celebrating birthdays or graduations, hosting corporate parties or team building events. These quest games draw participants into the world of adventure from the first minutes and help develop team spirit. Players solve puzzles in a team in an atmosphere of drive and positive. And this is only a small part of what awaits the participants at the shows.
The franchise team has an extensive experience in launching franchise locations and guides new franchisees through the whole process, starting from the venue selection to equipment installment, negotiations with the landlords, etc. Each franchisee gets support and assistance from personal mentors as well as access to a private chat room where existing franchisees discuss similar issues, answer questions and share experiences.
