The Campground

The Campground was one of the most difficult games I’ve played, especially due to the volume of puzzles. However, it wasn’t just a game for puzzle lovers - it was one of, if not the best implantation of a cabin theme I’ve seen. Everything from the unique structure to the set to the unusual storyline made the game an incredible adventure. I particularly enjoyed how we had to traverse the entire layout to solve the puzzles, which were designed as to spread teams throughout the space. In games with large amount of content, it’s easy for puzzles to feel like filler, but each interaction felt of the world and satisfying to solve. There’s a great blend of fast paced, easy solved and more layered, complex challenges, which makes it great for even less experienced groups (as long as they bring more people). If you’re seeking a one-of-kind puzzle fest, you can get much better than The Campground!

This room had fantastic theming and tech. The puzzles were all well designed, but felt disconnected. There was no rhyme or reason why solving one thing would leave to another. We went down multiple logical dead ends. This room is huge by escape room standards. A great game for a larger group.

This is a huge room and has lots of complicated puzzles meant for 4 or people, unfortunately we didn’t escape with 2 people. We also saw the effects of the puzzle we didn’t solve, very cool room, keep doing what you are doing 13th hour.

Overall an amazing room. 13th Hour has consistently been my groups favorite place and this room is definitely one of our top (Wizard of Oz being the other). This room used its space really well. Puzzles were actually hard but also definitely solvable especially with slight nudges from game master. Went with an experienced group of 4 and we had a blast. Definitely recommend more people for a less experienced group or easier time.

Absolutely wonderful, challenging, and scenic room. The atmosphere and plot were the level you would expect from 13th hour. As many have said, you use those 90 minutes well. There were so many puzzles jam packed into a massive space. We had a party of 7 and we had folks working on puzzles simultaneously across rooms, there was that much going on. Two small critiques: 1) As many have said, there is a snow effect that can cause some lung irritation. 2) We were only given one board to write down on. With multiple puzzles going on at once we needed more than one. We managed to escape with 2 minutes remaining, and we needed around 4-5 hints.

This room is very well done! Immersion is on point and every puzzle was a lot of fun. Some things I haven't ever seen before too. We were a group of three and we were booking it through the room to get done with 1 minute left! We had a really great time and can't wait for them to open their next room.

Amazing set design, pretty good puzzles, and satisfying overall. Staff members were nice but GM had a weird passive aggressive vibe. Soured the experience for me even though it was a great room.

The best of the 4 rooms we did at 13th hour that day. It has a pretty large footprint and good puzzles. But you definitely need 4 or more people in your party. Very challenging even for experienced escape room enthusiasts. It has like 4 steps total? So reasonable for limited mobility but might be an issue for wheelchair users. I will also warn about the fake snow in the room. It irritated my lungs and I was coughing a bit. So if you have any breathing issues like asthma maybe communicate that to the staff ahead of time.
