Our group had a ton of fun playing 13th basement! The lights, sounds, special effects and set design heightened the experience of a thrilling, yet not too scary game that was tongue in cheek in the most clever of ways. Definitely an experience your group will enjoy

Holy cow this place kept surprising us throughout the whole game! Super fun room that includes all of the best things an escape room should have (yes I love black light and crawl spaces). For their first room, the set design exceeded all expectations we had, the puzzle flow was perfect. We played weeks ago and we're still talking about this room. Great job Christine and Jeremiah! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

A room with everything you reminisce about in escape rooms made so lovable again! We loved this one from the moment we arrived. Thematic, theatrical, comical and suspenseful for us. The best part about this game is it keeps on going. The story boarding of this room is very clear and I love it! Truly a must play for all types of players. There's so much well executed effort in this room! The owners are poised on ensuring you have a great time and we sure did!

Short Version: BOOK IT!!!! Long Version: I have done quite a few escape rooms and the "13th Basement" is definitely one of the best ever. We got here a few minutes before our start time and was greeted by Jeremiah. We already signed our waivers online so we had time to kill since the group in before us was still playing. This was easily done by playing Turtles in Time in the waiting area. Before we started the game, we were shown an introduction video which happens all the time (don't climb, don't use force, etc.) except this featured the "mad scientist" from one

Professional and fun game hosts, well designed, creepy fun, that this room actually scared everyone at one point. I cannot rave more about how great this room was from start to finish. One of my favorite escape room companies as I have played all of their games at San Diego and LA now. I appreciated the COVID precautions they take on site, and make sure everyone had a fun experience. I can only hope that more games come out soon to play.
