Room 13: The Clinical Trials

Escape room

We enjoyed this game. We thought we were doing really well at first and then there’s so much more to solve. The puzzles weren’t terribly difficult but there were some red herrings to distract you.

If you are looking for a challenges to test your wits, this is the room for you! This 90 minute experience does not disappoint. The staff is wonderful at immersing you into the theatricals of this room. It has just the right amount of spooky challenges.

This was one of the worst experiences we’ve had at an escape room business. To be fair, our GM was brand new (first day). 

While the game itself was okay, there were lots of issues.
1. There were 5 reset mistakes (puzzles already done, locks open, etc.)
2. There were three times when we had solved a puzzle correctly but the outcome didn’t trigger and the GM and his training manager both let us struggle until we finally asked for help each time. That took a lot of our time and was very frustrating for us.
3. The music for the first half is a short continuous loop of elevator music that becomes very annoying after about 15 minutes. The second half is eerie music that was also annoying and turned up way too loud.
4. When the GM or the manager would come on the intercom to help us, we could barely hear them even though we asked them to speak up.

After the game they knew we were not happy with how things went. The manager gave us some excuses and never offered any sort of compensation, a free room that day, or even a discounted room. Looking at their bookings online afterward, they were not busy. We paid for an experience that they did not deliver, and at nearly $50 per person that is not okay.

As for the game itself, it was okay. There are red herrings, and the ending is  very anticlimactic.

Also, on their website there should be a trigger warning that there are disturbing pictures of severed body  parts and at least one person will need to watch a video of actual open heart surgery. 

On the positive side, the crawl space was well padded.

Overall, our experience was our own and other groups will most likely have a better gaming experience with this room.

Amazing room in general! There were plenty of rooms with different types of puzzles in each room, the atmosphere was great and matches the room theme perfectly, and the room was interesting in the fact of it having a storyline you don’t usually see. Overall, one of my favorite 90 minute rooms
