My family built the Henderson Hotel over 100 years ago, the most prestigious in Wales. However, I was greedy & sent the hotel into ruin in the ’70s. On my final visit, I took the lift to the 13th floor to collect my riches and was never seen again… 

Do you think you're smart enough to find my fortune? I’ll do you a deal; I’ll give you one hour… If you’re successful, you can leave with it and your life… if not, well, let's just say 13 floors is a long way to fall.

An impressive design considering the subject and the space limitations. Some clever puzzles (including one that we really struggled with and then kicked ourselves when we got the hint). A bit more padding would have been nice but a really beautifully done room, very enjoyable.

LOVED LOVED LOVED this game today. Spent the day in Cardiff to play 2 games from 2 different companies and felt like we chose so well! 10/10 for both games. This is on the smaller side but the attention to detail was really awesome.

It's so hard not to give anything away but just go and play this!

This is a really good room - it's got some nice, original puzzles, and the room design is brilliant. It's a fairly small room, so I wouldn't recommend for any group bigger than 3.

Some very, very cool bits. Let down a little bit by some weird, slightly illogical (to me) puzzles.

Reviews by escape room review sites

If you’re in the mood for a little Tower of Terror nostalgia, this game may just be the one for you. With spot on theming, satisfying puzzles, and just a hint of theatricality, The 13th Floor is another great addition to the games already on offer at Escape Rooms Cardiff

The 13th Floor is a spooky, challenging game that has all the glamour and creep-factor of a haunted 1920s hotel. There are no real scares here, though, so it’s still suitable for most players. It’s got some great surprises in store, and with some satisfying puzzles to boot, teams should have a good time with this one.
