The 13th Basement

The 13th basement has been on my wishlist for a while so I was excited to finally be able to do it! First off, the owners are super friendly and welcoming! Overall, this room was awesome! Such a fun take and so unique. The puzzles were refreshing and the owners put a lot of thought into crafting this room based off of their experiences with escape rooms so everything felt well thought out and intentional! This is a room in OC that you don’t want to miss out on! I also love how the owner’s even thought about making the room accessible to individuals with different accessibility needs. Hoping to see more of this in the escape room community :)

If you’re a fan of GENRE RECOMBINANTS, this one is for you! This was a great escape room because of the size and variations of the puzzles. There are a great series of rooms parodying the typical escape room. You will be blindfolded for a segment of this room but clean and brand new blindfolds are provided to each player. I LOVE mindful and hygienic practices. 👏🏽 I specifically also appreciated the ADA accessibility of the escape room and unique touches by the game masters. The game masters shared a warm welcome and also entertained any questions and comments we had at the end. They shared their insight behind game development and even shared a few of their favorite escape rooms in the area.

Very fun and creative! Owners were super welcoming and personable. Some of the puzzles we’re tricky but nothing you would need outside knowledge for. Definitely recommended!

This game was so fun!! It was a parody of a horror room but still had a spooky aspect. The owners were so sweet and made us feel very welcome. Our GM was on the newer side of being employed so we couldn’t really hear her over the speakers when she was giving us hints, but she was amazing as well!! I loved this room and recommend to everyone!

The atmosphere and rooms were great! The puzzles were great and not too easy, and was a great experience for a group of 5. The owners were extremely nice and welcoming, and made our entire experience great.

SUCH A FUN EXPERIENCE! Our GM’s were fantastic, the split start led nicely into Linear puzzle flow, and it features a greatest hits of all the most popular Escape Room tropes.

Great room for both beginners and experienced players. Puzzles were on the easier side and most hints are given in a unique way. Each room had enough for everyone to do (group of 6) I appreciated the satire that's present in every part of the game. Owners were friendly and passionate about the community. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Excellent game! Super creative puzzles and really awesome atmosphere and feel of the game. Really neat set design. Definitely a must do and the owners are really awesome and passionate! Can’t wait for more games here.

This escape room was awesome and really is an ode to escape rooms. The theme is dark, in that there's horror movie elements, but as a bonafide chicken the room itself isn't scary. I braced myself to be scared and felt comfortable. All of the puzzles were unique from one another and we're very clever. I think if you've done escape rooms you'll find the room engaging but not too hard. We went with a group of people who had done maybe one escape room and it was fun to watch them figure it out. It's high tech and immersive, and I greatly enjoyed chatting with Jeremiah who is the owner. I love it when we get the behind the scenes details of escape rooms from owners, especially when they're enthusiastic players of rooms and have insights on the escape room world. All in all we had a blast and would highly recommend this room to anyone, experienced or novice, to the 13th Basement.
