Another good room by these guys. Some good puzzles we hadn’t seen before.
Not a big fan of being forced to go to the 'endgame' with 10 minutes left to solve a 2 minute puzzle... Perhaps the poor hosting tained the experience for us but as we were silently greeted and rarely spoken to it just felt like we were an inconvenience. Some of the props were old and tired and the room was dusty and dirty. Felt like it needed a good revamp. Sucks because the other games at this venue seem to be so good
Not generally a fan of Egyptian themed rooms but this was a truly good one! Some really clever puzzles and the hint system (in different phases!) was excellent and definitely something out of the ordinary. One puzzle that stumped us for a while (just not our thing, not the fault of the room!) cost us the chance to get the final relic but some great props, clever decoration.
My only observation is that it is quite a dark room. We had two lanterns but on the orange setting they were pretty hopeless and it was a struggle to get them to stay on the white setting as they kept turning back to orange!
Very enjoyable and great hosting from Aadil!
Sixth room of the day in Nottingham.
I'm not a massive fan of this room, to be honest. I never like rooms that are dark for a long period and I was even less impressed to find out that we'd done the whole of the room, not realising that the lanterns could be turned up brighter.
We were possibly tired at this point, but some of the puzzles were a bit illogical and/or hard for more than a couple of people to be involved with at once at once.
Not a massive fan of a lot of the puzzles, esp the ones at the end.
Accessibility: up a set of steps. There are points where at least one person will need to crawl.

Next up in our Cryptology-a-thon was Rameseize, which we want to give an award to for the best name for an Egyptian themed room! As you may expect, with this room you are tasked with ransacking Rameses’ tomb to ‘seize’ three ancient relics before your rival treasure hunters catch you up and bury you alive in the tomb to claim the treasure for themselves. As usual, no pressure then hey!
