Spellbound

They called this one "one of the easier ones". Maybe we took it a little too leisurely but dang, really started rushing by the end of things. All the same kind of positive 13th Gate feedback - set is incredibly above industry standards, lighting and sound design was great, River was a fantastic GM. The only note I'll mention is that there was a puzzle that we essentially completed without doing the intended work. When it was mentioned during the recap, we were so glad that we didn't go through the trouble.

Similar to one that we had already done. But it was still a good room.

Fun, whimsical room with a bit of suspense, but it fell down in parts with one super time-wasting puzzle that you didn’t really need to do to figure out what to do next. Also we were given an unrequested hint before we even got all the clues needed for a puzzle which was annoying. Also, broken mechanisms or too tricky to activate mechanisms wasted time.

Stellar room, great flow, really enjoyed it

When we’re trying to solve a puzzle and the game master shouts over the intercom to grab a random item to finish the puzzle, that’s a problem. Why doesn’t the game tell us to grab that item? Why are there no hints to grab that item? How are we supposed to know one small item in a sea of items should be facing a different way? This game lacked some logic.

As much as I would like to leave a positive review for this game I unfortunately can’t. Once we progressed into the second room, almost all of the puzzles were broken…they were at least finicky and didn’t work even though we had the correct answer. It was super frustrating. On top of that, the GM would give us a hint or the answer when we knew the answer…it was just the puzzles wouldn’t accept the answer. We unfortunately didn’t have a good time in this room. We came back the next day to play some other rooms and an 8 year GM told us that the puzzles in this room are finicky so just keep all of this in mind if you choose to play this room.

Amazing room

My self-preservation instinct was fond of the cabin-in-the-woods feel, and using magic practically to ward off a vampire. My team’s desire to experience a vampire-themed escape room was fulfilled. Thank you. :) Additionally, Noah is a pleasant game-master. Completed with a team of 4.

A really good mix between a cabin in the woods room and a mystical room. Also has the best countdown clock I have seen in a room. Definitely worth traveling to Along with the rest of 13th gate
