As a mortal, to enter your afterlife, you must first die. How you die is your choice but all must enter through the void of transcendence.
Only the brave will follow the light, crawl out of the grave and go to hell and back.
Logical thinking and teamwork is what you need to ensure that when your hour is up your name is found in the Book of Life.

Originally built for a different venue, I believe cryptology has bought this game and reinstalled it here… it plays well, flow was good but the room is almost in 4 parts. Without spoiling anything. 1st part- frustrating 

2nd/3rd part themed great and some great puzzles

4th part - disappointing ending with no real sense of achievement.

Without giving too much away, middle is perfect, first room and last room just stick with me for the wrong reasons

Don't fool yourself thinking that this is a scary game, it's called Afterlife but is not scary! Their next game is going to be apparently.
From the getgo this game features many styles of puzzle which flow together wonderfully. The GM was amazing and we were worried we may not make it out. Turns out we over complicated many of the puzzles which we had a laugh with them with.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Afterlife is a room which was originally run by X-it games, based in Shipley, and we had been meaning to venture up there…then COVID happened of course, scuppering our plans! However, during the lockdowns Cryptology announced the exciting news that they would be opening Afterlife right here on our doorstep in Sheffield! Opportunity knocked, and of course what could we do but get ourselves booked in for as soon as we possibly could upon its opening?!
A thoroughly enjoyable adventure which combines good puzzles with a fun sense of exploration and stunning set design. While there are a few places where individual teams might get stuck, this is still a room that I would absolutely recommend if you're even vaguely nearby.

A truly spectacular game with a great storyline and non-stop adventure from the very first second. There are many different spaces to explore as you battle to save your life. We loved this game and really can’t fault it.
