Death Row

I liked this room! Not as extravagant as some others from this company but solid gameplay and good immersion. The staff here tends to be more hands off and less friendly than you might like, but overall still a great time!

I’ve played all of 13th gates games officially now, with Death Row being my last game to do, and just like all of their games, it did NOT disappoint! Specifically this style of game, I’ve done different types of “prison break” type games and this was my favorite and gives such a great story of not just trying to escape prison, but from being put to death (hence the name). It really makes you think even though it’s advertised as the easier game in the facility. Very immersive, very well done. Loved this experience!

What we had expected to be just another jail escape room turned out to be pretty involved. I'm not sure if it's just because it was first thing in the morning or we were worn out from doing 5 rooms before, but this stumped us several times, definitely giving us a run for our money. To the point where we were all a little too ready to sacrifice someone if needed, not that it was... Would suggest for just a group of 4, fairly linear room.

Extremely immersive but not my favorite room here. At least one of the puzzles was poorly designed and a little ambiguous. The ending of this game was pretty cool but fairly abrupt. The staff is extremely variable in their friendliness and obvious enjoyment (or ambivalence) to their job.

My reviews for the 13th Gate rooms are redundant at this point. Impressive set design, lackluster puzzles. For Death Row, this is your standard prison break. Your team will be split up in separate cells and there will be some clues that can only be available if you communicate with one another. The flow did not feel as natural to me but the ending was surprising and one that I did not expect. Overall, it was a solid experience but nothing too impressive.

We have all played a lot of prison escape style games. The theme is just too easy for escape room owners to not utilize it when they can. That said, this was the best prison break experience I have ever had at an escape room. The set design is well done (like everything at 13th Gate) and the finale is just a lot of fun. Don't skip this game just because it is a jail break

Some frustrating puzzles and some that didn't make sense as to why they would be that way. More physical than some of the other games. This is one of the ones where you use an ipad and QR codes for clues which ruins immersion. But when we played we didn't even get an ipad because the other game that needed it "had priority". There was an item in the room that allowed us to bypass a puzzle so we had to go back and redo something the correct way (should probably remove said item). The set design was nice but lackluster compared to the other games here.

holy cow. details, details, details. amazing

Great room on a very prominent theme. Good manual puzzles. We had to break out of our jail cells (as you usually do) and then get out of death row. Was not as involved as some other of the other cell blocks but did have a great secret which we won’t spoil. I will agree with many reviews that in comprising to other games at 13th Gate, this was definitely on the blander side. Nice ending which was expected but also pretty fun to watch the victim. 🗝️🗝️🗝️
