13th Basement

Not outright terrifying but tense in all the right ways, with set and sound working hand in hand to pull you in. The mechanics wowed us, puzzles clicked without leaps, and the serial‑killer‑loves‑escape‑rooms premise is delightfully cheeky. The satire and little gags sealed it as a 10/10 for our group. Huge thanks to Jeremiah for top-tier GM’ing.

I’d waited years to play and it delivered: playful horror homage with a standout moment I won’t forget. Loved that color‑based puzzles had labels for colorblind players and the props felt lovingly made, Saw nods included.

To really savor the parody, it helps if your team has played a few horror rooms first. The split start favors an even group (four is perfect), difficulty is gentle, and the ending lands nicely. There’s a tiny duck‑under moment but otherwise it’s very accessible.

We call this our team’s “initiation” room now—communication heavy from a blindfolded split start but never unfair. It’s creepy, not truly scary, and I loved the horror‑movie nods woven into the puzzles and sets. Great trust‑builder, great time.

I’m a total scaredy cat and still had a blast. The blindfolded split start made us communicate, and once we settled in it was more comedy than terror. No live actors, just clever staging and a few well-timed pops.

Easily a top‑tier pick for us. Christine and Jeremiah crafted smooth gameplay with clever, unique touches I hadn’t seen before, plus a couple of fun frights. They also spent time swapping recommendations afterward, which tells you how much they care.

Linear flow with a couple of jumpies, but the vibe is comedic horror so it never gets intense. No live actors, and they actually let you take photos and video as you go. Be ready for a blindfolded split to start.

We cruised as a group of three and wished there were one or two more puzzles, but the flow slapped and the twist was worth the ticket alone. Big props to the GM for a great briefing.

Sharp, funny, and gloriously self-aware. We were giggling through the jump scares, and that end sequence is an instant classic. If you love horror nods and smart design, don’t miss this.

A riotous send‑up of horror rooms that somehow keeps the creepy vibe intact. From lobby jokes and the over‑the‑top intro to the gore‑slick set, the humor lands while the game still plays clean and fair. If you’re curious how a spoof can still be immersive, this nails it.

Did it as a duo and it was totally manageable. Linear, logical puzzles with one moment that had us howling. Owners were gems and chatted recommendations after.

More hilarious than horrifying, with a few soft jump scares we handled just fine as self‑proclaimed cowards. The tongue‑in‑cheek bits had us laughing too hard to be scared, and the audience‑trolling moments near the end were A+. Enthusiasts and horror fans, dive in.

Loved the accessibility touches and the fact we could snap a few pics. There’s blood and limbs, sure, but it never felt gross for gross’ sake. Crowd-pleaser from start to finish.

Stuffed with winks and Easter eggs that lampoon escape rooms while loving them, this is pure catnip for enthusiasts. I’d especially recommend it after you’ve played a bunch—the references will really land.

One of my favorite satirical horror rooms. I loved every puzzle we solved, though I wouldn’t have minded a couple more to stretch the length. The detail work throughout is next level.
