About the escape room
Yours is an elite team of archaeologists, searching for the tomb of the great Egyptian High Priest Ankhe-Khunsu. After countless years of searching, you've found your way to the elusive burial chamber, only to discover someone has beaten you to the site.
Your former colleague, now gone mad from too many months alone in the tomb, explodes the tunnel behind you, sealing you inside.
You have 60 minutes to find your way out of the room before you and your team run out of air and become a permanent addition to the tomb.
Are you up for the challenge?

Location
AI Overview
AIReviews consistently rave about immersion, set quality, and a lobby packed with film props. Puzzles are fair and thematic, but the flow is mostly linear and often tied to a single clue book. Difficulty leans moderate-to-easy for veterans, and some teams finish early. Staff are largely praised for energy and costumes, though a few guests found hosting overly strict or a bit chilly, and the laptop hint system can be slow.
WeaknessesRuns short for experienced teams and plays linearly, which can sideline extra players. Heavy reliance on one clue book limits parallel solving. A few reports of strict or less welcoming hosts, and the laptop hint flow can drag.
StrengthsTop-tier theming that genuinely feels like an Egyptian tomb. Clever, logical puzzles supported by solid tech. Engaged staff who bring the story to life, plus a fun pre-show space.
SecurityBriefings are thorough and sometimes strict; follow the rules and you’ll be fine. There’s sand underfoot and low light in places, so closed-toe shoes and steady footing help.
Level of fearMore atmospheric than scary, with no horror elements called out. Family-friendly for teens and up; dim lighting and sand add mood, not fear.
Actors' gameGame masters are enthusiastic and often dress in theme, which boosts the pre/post-game vibe. Interaction during play is mostly through the hint system rather than live acting.
Quality of riddlesPlayers describe puzzles as clever, fair, and varied without repetitive answers. The path is largely linear and book-driven, so smaller teams stay more engaged. Hints are available and on point when needed.
PlotYou’re archaeologists trapped by a deranged colleague in Ankhe-Khunsu’s tomb and racing the clock before the air runs out. The story frames the set pieces cleanly without getting in the way.
Difficulty levelIdeal for beginners and mixed groups; veterans may find it straightforward and a bit short. A small team gets the best flow due to the linear design.
