Hourglass Escapes: Rise of the Mad Pharaoh

After a very punny intro, you stand in a room with a sarcophagus. Lots of great puzzles around.

This is a special game because you get a character to play. There are six characters so in our case being only two people playing we got 3 characters each. With each character you get a tabletop - a kind of personal inventory. Some things end up with you when found and you then have to analyze them. You of course decide yourself how much collaboration you want - with two players it might be easier to just play all characters both of you. 

We really liked most of the puzzles and loved the decor. The experience was a bit short for us, but also prized low, so we are not unhappy.

One time there was a creepy feeling - but you are puzzling with a dead pharaoh, so that shouldn't be a surprise.

We loved how the tech supported the puzzle solving, like in a specific translation puzzle. The telescape platform was a great choice for this.
