13th Gate Escape: Tomb of Anubis

We put quite a lot of work into being able to play games at 13th gate.  We recruited team mates from the area so we would have enough players, and dedicated a full day to going to Baton Rouge, which is not a place we'd have visited otherwise.  And I'm sorry, but the games just didn't live up to the reputation.  The sets are very cool.  But this game was absolutely too much to do in 60 minutes--even 5 very experienced escapers working together were still quite a long way from finished (we don't know how long because the hosts were totally confused about where we'd gotten to).  The mechanism for providing the context for the puzzles is terribly clunky.  And some of the puzzles were just daft.  

Perhaps our expectations were too high.  But ultimately, cool sets were not enough to make this the extraordinary experience we were hoping for.
