Agent 13

It's hard for me to review the individual games at 13th gate because I absolutely LOVE all of them. Agent 13 gave my inner child and my adult self the satisfaction of living out the lifelong dream of being the cool agent saving the way.

This was my 350th game, didn’t know it at the time, but I’m completely ok with it! This wasn’t the favorite of mine at this location, but it was still a blast! The four of us were extremely busy the entire time and loved splitting up multiple times throughout the game. One of the best agent/sci-fi game I’ve played.

This is my favorite room there so far! I really enjoyed the elements of this game. I’d highly recommend!

LASERSSSS + lots of spy related actions. Fun fun room. I think the best spy/agent room I've played. I learned to shimmy, to defuse, to hack, to count it was great :).

I thought this was a really fun room, and I had a much better time than I thought I would given the other Morty reviews. It has classic spy theming with puzzles that made sense. I sometimes feel like spy rooms have a lot of cumbersome puzzles, and I didn’t at all feel that way with Agent 13. Absolutely NOT a skip at the 13th gate!

Was my least favorite room at this location. It is immersive but the story isn't very interesting and the puzzles were less interesting.

Out of the 8 rooms that we’ve done for 13th Gate, this one was my favorite for two reasons. First reason is that I truly felt like a spy with one of the rooms! I’ve always wondered how it would be if I had to go through a room full of lasers (not a spoiler because you can see this in their trailer video for the room). Second reason is because the puzzles actually make sense and the flow goes well with the storyline. I put a heart simply because I think this is the only room where story, execution, and our game master all worked well together for a memorable experience.

Of all the games that I have done at 13th Gate, I thought this one would be the more "boring and typical" style escape game but I was very wrong. Not your typical WWII bunker themed game at all. I really enjoyed the hint mechanic of the game and the story was humorous and lead to several laughs despite the seriousness of the topic.

Many of the rooms at 13th Gate are production design over puzzle design and while some escape artists might prefer that, I do not. The last two rooms in Agent 13 were satisfying enough that I almost gave this a like, but at the end of the day it’s not for me. Most of my reviews for 13th Gate (aside from Tomb of Anubis) are much of the same.

techheads, you want this one!
