The Experiment is a 3-D set, which you take a tour of wearing 3-D glasses. There aren't as many actors in this set but its uniqueness lies in the design itself where everything seems surreal and you get goosebumps from just watching all those shapes looming out of the walls.
13 Rooms is worth mentioning because of the sheer ingenuity of some of the displays in here. There is a laundry room and a kitchen with psychic prisoners threatening to wash and cook you as you walk by. The Morgue has dissected cadavers on display with their rib cages shoot out suddenly from their chests. You also make your way through the Mess Halls with roaming guards and inmates surprising you at each corner. Most actors would improvise their dialogues and actions after observing the crowd, making the tour more exciting and less repetitive. At one point, as me and my friend-who wore a Drexel hoodlie-passed a corner, an actor jumped out of the wall, and yelled "Drexel sucks!"
All in all, Terror Behind the Walls is truly terrific. You will have enjoyed your night and your $30 will be well spent.
