13th Gate Escape - Cutthroat Cavern

This is now at the top of the list for my favorite rooms - what a well done experience. They really set the environment up well, and then build the story and puzzles around that to give you the best time you can't even imagine before you go through it.

Price:$$$28 per person

Theme:★★★★★OMG - just wow! This was fantastic from start to finish and just amazing. The best theme I've ever seen in a room, and left us a little speechless.

Quality:★★★★★Everything was amazing and worked together perfectly - not just functional, but completely in theme.

Difficulty:★★★★Perfect combination of puzzles - physical, logical, and very well done. We definitely had to think outside the box and work together to make this work for us.

Fun:★★★★★We love this room, and I'm sure it will become a new standard with which we compare other rooms. I will definitely recommened everyone go do this room because of the great time we had.

With:4 peopleDan, Evan, Judy, Meredith

Outcome:Win

13th Gate Escape - Tomb of Anubis

There are so many neat things about this room, that it is hard to leave you with that without diving too much into what those things are. However, let's just say that this company really knows what they are doing to give you a fully immersive experience. From the moment you walk through the door to the room, to the moment you leave, everything about the room is in theme, including some great puzzles that really use the space and the decor to their best advantage. And so many of the puzzles had multiple layers to them, that you had to focus and work as a group to get things done. This was a fun and adrenaline-packed hour of puzzles for us.

Price:$$$28 per person

Theme:★★★★★This is the best themed Egyptian-based room I've ever done - there is so much attention to detail and making sure that everything is tied together, and many surprises.

Quality:★★★★The room was well put together, and there are many things I was amazed by and want to know how they did them.

Difficulty:★★★★★This room is hard, but more than that it is packed with content - you definitely need to communicate well and not make assumptions about how to do things (which we did more than once).

Fun:★★★This is a great room, but our team's lack of communication between people who didn't know each other well at various points did have us spending a bit of time doing nothing while waiting for others.
