While on a Caribbean vacation you decide to explore the island of Isla Mujeres, rumored to be the location where the notorious pirate Jean Lafitte hid his most priceless treasure.
Stopping to talk to a local tour guide, he gives you directions to a large series of Mayan Ruins and caves overlooking the ocean. He tells you that according to island legend, the pirate had a secret hideout somewhere within the caves, though no one had ever been able to discover it. The caves themselves were known as Cutthroat Caverns because the ancient Mayans would frequently perform human sacrifices within them.
Before you depart, your tour guide also cautions you about exploring too late, for many of the caves flood when the tide comes in at dusk and a person could easily get trapped and drown.
You find the ruins easily enough and after many hours of fruitless searching you are about to give up when you see a small hole at the base of an ancient Mayan statue. You cautiously reach inside and feel a small handle which, without thinking, you pull...
The ground opens up beneath your feet and you tumble down an ancient slide into a dark underground passage many stories below. As you stumble back to your feet you remember the tour guide’s warnings and wonder how you will ever escape in time.
Can you Discover the hidden mysteries of Cutthroat Cavern before you become its next Sacrifice?

I'm going to go against the grain here and give this game a mediocre review. It does have an amazing set, and some cool puzzles. But the big reveal was ruined for us by a technical problem, and fixing it totally broke the immersion. Also, the clue system is trying too hard to be cute, and simply doesn't work.
It's possible we went in with expectations that were too high. But suffice it to say that this experience did not live up to those expectations. There are better games in the area (e.g., check out Escape Warehouse).
Reviews by escape room review sites
Imagine if Disney built an official escape game. We’ve all wondered what that could be like. And then we went to Baton Rouge and realized it could probably never be this good.
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.
