Just over a month ago the long lost tomb of Cluetankhamun was unearthed for the first time in over 3 millennia. A team of explorers were sent in to recover the Cluetan Crystal, a jewel believed to possess the power of the Nile. It has been several days since last contact with the exploring party so it’s time to send a new expedition down into the tomb to retrieve the crystal. But watch your step – Who knows what happened to the last exploring party.

Fun egyptian themed room of two halves, there's a twist in the middle and some clever logic puzzles that you either get or you won't and will need a clue. Had a great time in this room.

Great room! We absolutely loved all the padlocks and key combination locks. This allowed us all to try combinations and everyone was involved. Our game master was great!

Exhausting! But great room. LOTS to do (with 2 of us we ran around like headless chickens). Really good range of puzzles, with lots of twists. A really well themed room as well with fun decoration. Great hosting as well.
Two of the many things I've learned from escape games are: if you enter an ancient tomb it's certain to be trapped and/or cursed; and any such trap or curse will take precisely sixty minutes to take effect. Clue HQ's Egyptian theme is one of their more immediately impressive designs, and while the clue screen and modern padlocks show that they're not going for realism, the decor still created a good impression up front. They get points for the gratuitous puns, too.
splitting up to work on separate puzzles doesn’t feel isolating because of the proximity. I’m not sure it would have been as enjoyable with a much larger group
