It&#8217;s a sign of maturity that anyone can even dream about pulling this off. And while <em>The Experiment<\/em> isn&#8217;t around anymore, I like <em>13th Basement&#8217;s<\/em> chances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the meta analysis, <em>13th Basement<\/em> was a really strong escape game.

It was not overly intimidating. We enjoyed the interplay in this segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2796&nbsp;We recommend caging one early prop that tall players could easily grab. This would avoid possible sequence breaking at this juncture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795&nbsp;Exit Game leaned into all the tropes: waivers, blacklights, prison toilets, directional inputs, post game photos, and more. With each one, they created a puzzle that was fun and funny, and avoided the pitfalls that have made these into tropes. The gameplay was playful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2796&nbsp;The loud sound effects overstayed their welcome. Going a little overboard with a loud jump scare was funny. That was part of the parody. Eventually, however, it was a bit grating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795&nbsp;The videos were great, in both the script and the acting. They set the tone well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2753&nbsp;<em>13th Basement<\/em> rewards awareness. If you want to be in on the jokes, do your homework (play horror escape rooms!) and be on your toes as you play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips For Visiting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There is a parking lot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Update 10\/8\/24: If you want to hear more about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/2024\/08\/06\/%f0%9f%86%95-spoilers-club-13th-basement-preview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">13th Basement<\/a>, back us on Patreon at the \u201cSearch Win!\u201d level to get access to a<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/spoilers-club-podcast\/\"><em>&nbsp;Spoilers Club Episode<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;about this game.

David is full of ideas: from in-depth research pieces to new content types\u2026 like cute animals solving puzzles. He is always pushing REA to try new things, take risks, and be something more.","url":"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/author\/dbspira\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/exit-game-13th-basement-3.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p57yLY-rtd","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105599"}],"version-history":[{"count":28,"href":"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":195919,"href":"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105599\/revisions\/195919"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
