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).

Cutthroat Cavern is a game whose resume is tough to beat. It made the name for itself by taking the 2nd place in the first edition of TERPECA (2018) and holding strong in the following years, making it one of the iconic staples of the USA escape market. It’s the flagship game of 13th Gate Escape at Baton Rouge, Lousiana, which may not be among the most convenient destinations, but Cutthroat Cavern makes travelling there well worth it.
For the sake of any comparisons, keep in mind that this is quite an old game, but it is still an amazing game even all of these years later. No acting and only 60 minutes may sound quite underwhelming for nowadays standards of top games, but I assure you that 13th Gate Escape made a great use of that time. Prepare to pick up your jaw from the floor at least a few times – the number of amazing reveals this game contains is astounding! In my opinion it had arguably the best set design out of all games we’ve played on this trip (rivalled probably only by The Quest for the Temple of Light). To think that somebody had courage to build all of this so many years ago is especially impressive!
