When you booked your vacation to see the great pyramids, you thought it would be more interesting. But as your tour guide drones on and on about different types of ancient pottery and myths, you decide you could have much more fun if you were exploring on your own. When no one is looking, you quietly slip away from the group and make your way down a dark passage marked "Unmapped Area. Do Not Enter!".
After a bit of exploring you walk into a small dark room and SUDDENLY a stone door closes behind you! You realize, all too late, that you are trapped! You look around the room and to your horror you see the remains of other "explorers" and realize that you have walked right into an ancient Egyptian trap!
Can you uncover the mysteries of the pyramid and escape before time runs out? Or will this tomb become your final resting place?

This can be the first paragraph of your review, or a short summary, or left blank, as you prefer. Anything longer than a couple of lines may get truncated.
We put quite a lot of work into being able to play games at 13th gate. We recruited team mates from the area so we would have enough players, and dedicated a full day to going to Baton Rouge, which is not a place we'd have visited otherwise. And I'm sorry, but the games just didn't live up to the reputation. The sets are very cool. But this game was absolutely too much to do in 60 minutes--even 5 very experienced escapers working together were still quite a long way from finished (we don't know how long because the hosts were totally confused about where we'd gotten to). The mechanism for providing the context for the puzzles is terribly clunky. And some of the puzzles were just daft.
Perhaps our expectations were too high. But ultimately, cool sets were not enough to make this the extraordinary experience we were hoping for.
Reviews by escape room review sites
So far, after playing +200 escape rooms, I'd have to say that I experienced sensations that I have not felt in a long time during an escape room while playing Cutthroat Cavern. It is a MUST play for any enthusiast out there. There are five solid games at this one location so you can't go wrong with planning a trip out to here. We also created a new gold 5-star rating given how incredible Cutthroat was.
