Cutthroat Cavern

I have completed nearly 100 escape rooms I’ve many years and have seen a lot of amazing things. This room just took first place. I haven’t seen anything this well done before. I’m still telling everyone who will listen all about it days later. The puzzles were novel, the effects were fantastic, and the THEMING… I can’t possibly describe it or say enough. The space is HUGE and they use every bit of it to transport you into the story. I felt like I stepped into a movie set or through a portal. I LOVED everything about this escape and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone!

The fact that this room opened up something like five years ago is absolutely mind bending. One of the most dazzling sets I've ever seen and it's hard to know if I'll ever seen anything quite like it again. Absolutely gorgeous. The first half of the room is an absolute thrill of an experience. The second half is a little more average (almost below average) puzzle-wise. I don't think we would have gotten out without accepting hints because there were a couple things to find that would have been nearly impossible to notice with the lighting situation. We also had a couple small tech issues, but it didn't necessarily dampen my experience. This bad boy is an absolute must-do in the area.

This room was Disney quality impressive with the set design and was grander that I even imagined it would be. That said, the things that caught us up and prevented us from getting out were frustratingly simple time sucks or things without a path pointing you toward them. Loved the experience, but really struggled with those elements that brought down our enjoyment.

Cutthroat Cavern is by far my favorite room at 13th Gate Escape! The physical features and surprises in this game are unreal! I highly recommend that players emerge themselves into this game to experience the most real “life sized” escape experience.

Atmosphere was the best I’ve ever seen. Puzzles were pretty tough…there was no way we were going to finish in 60 minutes, but it’s still one of the best rooms I’ve ever done!

We travel all the way out to experience this room and it was the worst room we have ever done. The staging on this room was incredible and had the potential to be an awesome experience. The game master got really sassy with us and was very inattentive. Unless you have spectacular vision don’t expect to do well with this room. Awful experience mostly because of the master which we have never experienced this before.

The puzzles were solid but not exceptional in this room and there was very little story line, HOWEVER, the set design was incredible. I’ve never experienced total immersion like that, it lives up to the hype and more! Prepare to be blown away almost to the point of distraction by the world they’ve created with this room

Incredible set design and special effects and some really fun elements in this room. It’s popular for a reason! I would say there were some bottlenecking moments that cost us vital puzzle-solving time and it was hard to hear the GM in parts of the room.

Do NOT do this room with only four players! Four was not enough for even our extremely experienced group and I ended up losing my 100th room 😂. Ideal for 6-8 I would say so you can really spread out and not miss anything. That said, the set design was unbelievable, almost like doing an escape room AT a Disney ride. Just incredible. Get a large group and go!
