Cutthroat Cavern

Incredibly immersive with really fun and unique elements. Set design is movie quality.

As everyone else has said, the set really is extraordinary. Definitely worth doing the game for that reason. There was a good assortment of puzzles, and one mechanism we’d never seen before which was cool. That being said, I have to admit to being disappointed. Part of the reason is that a technical problem robbed us of the biggest dramatic reveal. And part of the reason is just that my expectations were so high. I’d recommend that anyone thinking about doing this game avoid watching the promotional video, which gives away too much that is cool. Also some of the puzzles were just kind of annoying. The clue system (not iPads) was frustrating too. Ultimately I’m glad I did this game, but for all its fancy reputation there are games I’ve definitely enjoyed a lot more.

Absolutely loved everything about this room and it ranks one of my all time favorites. It was like stepping into an indiana jones movie and there is a reveal that beats just about everything I’ve seen in an escape room. The puzzles were hard and diverse, using everyone in my party’s skill set. Cannot wait to do it again at some point in the future.

This is hands down one of the best rooms I've ever done! The production value of this room is phenomenal. There were so many moments when my group audibly reacted to something in the room. This room is a MUST DO if you're in Baton Rouge! Ignore this endorsement at year own peril! Ye Be Warned!

MUST PLAY Pros: - Am I in Disneyland? Is this Indiana Jones? Truly the most elaborate and coolest set I’ve ever seen in my life - GM (Peyton) was funny - Had to do things I’ve never done in an escape room before Cons: - Puzzles require finding or looking at small objects - Some clues are misleading - Because the room was so massive, I can’t fucking hear anybody - Story doesn’t exist basically, ending is underwhelming 9/10 (amazing, a must play, but not perfect) (Honestly the production value hard carries it, the other aspects are more average)

Excellent game

Hands down the best escape room my group has ever done. Instant classic. Worth the trip!

Wowowow. This is the room that you will tell people about simply because of the wow factor. I’ve seen some impressive set designs for escape rooms but this is the most impressive yet. I felt like I was in a cross over between Treasure Island and Indiana Jones. You just wish that you could stop and appreciate the immersion but you can’t, because time is running! The puzzles were not satisfying to solve for me. It started off great, but then when we asked for a hint, our game master was inattentive. When we asked for a clue, her clues were things that we already knew, which she would have known if she was watching us. She also did not make conversation with us as we walked down the long hallway and after our hour, she was short with us when we asked about certain puzzles in the room. I personally don’t like how I can identify the puzzles that annoyed me because there was assumed knowledge. A good design would not have made those assumptions. I don’t think my dislike would actually affect the rating of this room but I think they need to decide what storyline they want to go with, or make the storyline a little more cohesive. Also, one of the puzzles made our teammate nauseous and that would have been good to know beforehand.

I have to first say. This room has so much potential, I've done over 70 rooms at this point and I was actually floored with how amazing and immersive the set design is. But the game master, Kate in this case, wasn't responsive and really set a sour tone for us in the second half of this room. We were asking for help and were given unhelpful clues and followed by being ignored. Her explanation at the end didn't give us much closure either. Some of the puzzles while thematic and interesting, just felt like we were wasting time and didn't end with that satisfying solve. But rather just a "I guess we're done with this one, what's next. We did 4 rooms in one day, and I really wanted to love this room." But I left feeling the worst I've felt in a long time after doing an escape room.

This is one of my favorite rooms to date. I have long been a fan of Spielberg's Pirate and Treasure themed film and this game will make you feel like you are right in the middle of it. Although all of the games at 13th Gate score high on the atmosphere, this one was something truly special. I can't recommend this game enough. Say Hi the bird for me.
