Weโ€™ve hired archaeologists, explorers, even a priest, to venture deep into the tomb and discover its secrets. Some left the premises visibly shaken, terrified of what they experienced.
The last adventurer to enter never returned at all.
We need a team of brave explorers, with nerves of steel and a strong ability to think on their feet, who can uncover the mysteries and discover what exactly is the purpose of this tomb. Are you confident you have what it takes? We certainly hope so.

Fairly straightforward game, few observational errors on our part and a puzzle we feel may require outside knowledge

quite easy

Good game, which I played with 6 and 7 year old daughters and first timer wife. Not too difficult. Couple of puzzles need explaining. Quite a sarcastic host

Seemed a bit illogical, hosting and theme was good but some of the puzzles were a bit confusing and we were able to complete some without actually completing them!!!

It was a while ago I did this one, I remember it being ok but nothing special. There definitely isn't enough for 6 players to do, it should be advertised as 2-5. Some of the puzzles don't make a huge amount of sense, so it's difficult for a team to discuss them. The theme was implemented well enough to make it a bit of a giggle just being in the room.

Very good hosting by Fred, who made it a very enjoyable experience. This is not a lock and key room if you prefer that sort of escape. Not particularly challenging if you have some experience but would be great for beginners.

Reviews by escape room review sites

The first room from our Cambridge double bill.
Given the โ€˜crawling sectionโ€™ warning, itโ€™s no giveaway that there is more than one room here. We had a slow start in the first bit โ€“ the theming is excellent and there is lots to look at without there actually being many pointers where to start

I'm writing this review more than two years after playing the TRAP rooms, so my memory is unreliable and they may have changed anyhow - the Bomb Room for one appears to no longer exist. Also, we played all four rooms in a crazy consecutive burst of enthusiasm, which makes it harder to remember which was which.

However, it's safe to say that the TRAP rooms were good mass-market escape rooms with more of a emphasis on physical puzzles, almost with a Crystal Maze feel. Everything's robustly design...

A fantastic room with good theming, some tough puzzles, fun mechanisms and a decent finale. Expect to have to exert yourself though!
A well themed and difficult room that suffers from a lack of clues and confirmation that youโ€™re doing things correctly.
