Escape Room 13 does an excellent job and is well worth a stop when in or near Eureka Springs, AR. The puzzles were all interesting and supported the theme of the room. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, since Eureka Springs is a tourist town they don't change their rooms out very often. However, they are preparing to do a "refresh" of this room shortly and said it would be worth it to return afterward to play it again. It was a fun and immersive room. We definitely plan on returning after the refresh.
Gameplay
The room followed the theme requiring us to discover some unique information about a bank heist in the town. The room was immersive and matched the theme. There was a short part at the beginning and end that facilitated our travel through time back to, and then back from, when the heist occurred. It didn't add anything to the scenario but also didn't interrupt the flow.
Atmosphere
The game was fully immersive and the room supported the story very well. There were some really fun puzzles throughout the room. They spanned from basic puzzles to items that were a little more high tech.
Customer service
The staff was excellent, enthusiastic and welcoming. They have a unique (funny) way of requesting hints (although we didn't require any).
Particularly interesting or different
No
Nothing innovative or different from what we've seen but still fun.
Story
The objective was clear throughout the game. The puzzles, sets and props fully supported the storyline.
Difficulty
Medium
We were able to complete the game without any clues. However, the puzzles were still challenging and there were a good amount of them.
Game tech
Mechanical
Mostly mechanical but there were some puzzles that were enabled by tech. The room has a good mix, especially for something as straightforward as solving a bank robbery. A lot of fun.
Ideal number of players
4
We completed this room with 2 players in plenty of time but a couple of more heads would have been helpful. Two worked.
