The theming of this room is fantastic! With some simple and some difficult puzzles this room was very enjoyable.

Small room but very well done inside and good use of the space with great theming 

Some interesting puzzles and games 

Fun throughout but make sure you have some Egyptian knowledge which we did not haha

This is a good room and was worth playing although it felt like there were a couple of puzzles which were more "can you follow slightly complicated instructions" rather than being logic puzzles or actually involving proper thinking. Mainly enjoyed it though.

A! There has been a lot of love put into this room, with the hand made Egyptian probs and decoration. The puzzles in this room were a lot more hands on but still very creative, loved the cog puzzle. A little bit of outside knowledge needed for one puzzle but this didn't phase use. Would definitely recommend.

It's Egypt-themed, so hopefully not a spoiler to say there are various hieroglyphics involved which you can enliven by trying to describe the shape to team-mates.

I reckon 4 players would be the right size for this escape; any more would be rather cramped and it's fairly linear.

Mostly enjoyed the manipulation puzzles except for one bit which you'll know when you've done it. The symbology ones are good but it's not always obvious what's needed vs decorative; whether distractions are all part of the game is up to you!

Good hosting, good set design.
