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.

Enjoyed this room, lots of padlocks but were signposted well. A clever use of space which we hadn't seen before in a room and were pleasantly surprised with. We really clicked with the room and as a team of 2 just happily quietly got on with puzzles with no frustrations or clues needed (sections are sort of non linear so can be done at the same time).

The room needs a good clean though, the dolls stank badly and could do with a wash! There was also times when we opened boxes and their hinges entirely came off, and padlocks were rusty - it could really do with a week of maintenance just to put everything back to a good standard (it was 30pp after all!) so cannot rate it any higher because of that.

Fun, family friendly room. Logical puzzles and lots of things to be doing. Hosting was brilliant.

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.

Reviews by escape room review sites

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
