13th Hour Escape Room - Wharton

I think the reviews of this place made my expectations too high. The room itself was really fricken cool, and there was one element in particular that was just incredible. The puzzles were pretty easy and straightforward, and the design was awesome. That was all great! The thing I’ll say is- you can hear all of the other, scarier, rooms very clearly if they’re being used because you’re all in one huge warehouse. So through a lot of our experience we were hearing people scream bloody murder, and a lot of frightening sound effects that were really distracting. Our guide was also very distracted and fully entered our room at the end to help us with a puzzle we were already solving and didn’t need a clue for. So that took us out of the world. Idk the whole experience was very strange. But the room itself? Super cool. I think it just needed some music to drown out the other rooms

THIS ROOM!!!!! It’s been on my bucket list for YEARS and I finally get to check it off!! This room really had it all! So many fun puzzles, so much to do, and soooo many elements. The one thing I’ll say is that it’s clear there have been people who have messed around in the past because there were a loooooot of in-game precautions that kept being relayed by the GM over the speaker. It kinda distracted from the game because we would just be trying something out and then they’d come on the speaker and explain why we shouldn’t touch something, but even with that, it was still so great!

I thought this room was excellent. Fantastic set design, some really unique puzzles, and being a Stranger Things fan makes it even better. Our team had a great time! This was my last room with MyssTic and it became an instant classic! There were, however, a couple setup errors in the first room that then resulted in us waiting to use a key all game for something that should have been locked in the beginning, and for our guide to come on over the mic to explain that something should have been closed, etc. Fortunately that was only in the first room so I was able to get immersed again, but this has happened at least once with all of the games I played at MyssTic and considering how EXPENSIVE their rooms are, you would hope that sort of thing wouldn’t happen. That said- all of their room’s designs are so so commendable. I’m gonna miss playing with them!
