The Armory

Room didn’t open up as much as others, but it was enjoyable. Lots of wardrobe to play dress up with when things got boring.

A nice City 13 room again. Sad to see the company is closing. We will miss City 13!

Fun starting room with some difficult lighting and puzzles mostly revolving around finding hidden things. Scavenger puzzles aren’t the worst for escape rooms but they felt a little over utilized in this room combined with the dark lighting. Some puzzles as well seemed a little confusing to discern what was a puzzle and what was a prop. I will say the confusing nature of some puzzles added to the mystery and difficulty of them, but I could see them being a struggle for new groups as this is marketed as the easiest to my knowledge. Despite this the set design is fun and I’ll always recommend city 13 to those in the Milwaukee area. I would recommend doing this room in save the city over on its own for those up for the save the city challenge.

Of the four rooms at City 13, this one was probably the "easiest" so any teams of more than 2 players might find it hard to share enough tasks. As usual, the scenery was amazing, and the staff was friendly and a lot of fun. The intro is great as always too. This was also the last room we did, but we haven't tried that Save the City experience yet. We might wait when we have friends visiting to do that one (and hopefully we've "forgotten" the answers to all the rooms by then!)!

The Armory was one of 4 fun rooms I played as part of the amazing Save the City experience. Although this was my least favorite of the 4 rooms, I still enjoyed it as its own room and as part of a bigger adventure. The puzzles feel a little more disjointed, but there are also some interesting challenges that made good use of its small space. Definitely more focused on observation and connecting the dots. I liked all the fun props!

The room itself probably does not make the top half of the escape rooms I’ve done. The puzzles were just alright. The prop you use to solve the last puzzle was broken, but the gm stepped in after we struggled with it for about 10 mins. He was amazing and gave us the win, even though the timer technically expired . However, the experience as a whole was great due to the amazing staff and the immersive overarching storyline. Also, the lobby is flat out awesome. My experience with this room was not the best, but I’m sure they fixed the prop and I would definitely recommend City 13 as a whole!!!

City 13 is such a cool facility. When you first walk in there’s a whole lounge area with popcorn. All the rooms follow an overall theme/storyline and our GM completely played their part. The introduction to your room is very high tech. The room itself though was just ok for me. Still an awesome experience and I’m looking forward to completing all the other rooms.
