Escape on 13th - Salt Lake City, Utah

5/6/2018

Curse of Anubis:  Get ready to set off on a quest to locate a missing archaeologist deep inside an ancient tomb. 

Pros:  The gamemaster was absolutely delightful. She greeted us and encouraged us all to get to know each other before the game. After we reviewed the rules and the storyline we embarked on our archaeological adventure. The set design was as good as it gets. We truly appreciated the craftsmanship and thought that went into the props and set design. The puzzles seemed very logical and the game flow worked exceptionally well in part because of the linear puzzle design. We failed to escape, but truly appreciated the game design. 
​
Cons: Our experience at Escape on 13th was unfortunately severely dampened by the fact that the owner has chosen to 1) group strangers together and 2) group way too many strangers together. This room comfortably fits four people. The small size of the room makes it very difficult to move around and solve puzzles. We were grouped with a number of strangers to create a total group size of eight. The crowding and confinement prevented our ability to quickly locate hidden items. In the second room, the low lights (even with the noisy generator) made it impossible to read the written hints. We crowded back into the previous room to read the material and solve the puzzles. The lack of experience and clue-hoarding of our new friends combined with the linear nature of the puzzles and confined space led to our failure to get anywhere close to completing the game.  We had an additional game scheduled but when we discovered we would be playing in a similarly confined space with a larger group size, we decided to take a hard pass. Better luck next time.

You definitely shouldn't miss the opportunity to play here. The set design makes it all worthwhile. But be forewarned. Bring as many of your own friends as you can and fingers crossed you don't get grouped with strangers.
