Just over a month ago the long lost tomb of Cluetankhamun was unearthed for the first time in over 5 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.

beautifulvalue for moneygreat hostingquite difficult
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.

The game flows really well, nothing too out there and a fair amount of puzzles.

This was one of our first rooms with clue HQ, we really enjoyed the different puzzles and the theatrics of this room really gave us a great introduction to the company.

Was pitched as ClueHQ's more difficult game but it wasn't particularly interesting. Just seemed to have more padlocks to do rather than any more interesting or challenging puzzles to solve.

Good escape room, did it for the Egypt theme. Could have been more immersive in the history of archaeology of the excavation of the tombs.

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

A team of four of us ventured down to ClueHQ to play their Egypt themed game. I did always wonder what it would be like to explore a Mummy's tomb ...
