Welcome to the Animus. February 1928. An expedition led by Sir Beldon Frye disappears somewhere in the Sinai Peninsula. A team of four and a dozen local porters were looking for the Lost Pyramid of Nebka… Or more precisely, “something” that should have been there. They were never seen again. Using the simulation reconstructed from their DNA memory, your team will put themselves in the shoes of the explorers. Find out what happened to the expedition. And more importantly, locate what they were looking for.

This was my first time trying a VR experience and it was better than I expected. ClueQuests setup has two teams of 2 playing in the same room. We were lucky as the other team who'd booked the same timeslot as us didn't show up but I imagine it would be really distracting to hear another team talking in the background while you were playing. You were supposed to only hear your teammate talk through headphones but that didn't work at all.

The puzzles were all rather straightforward so this wasn't a particularly challenging experience but I enjoyed the novelty factor of the VR. Worth trying once, but I probably wouldn't sign up for another.

This was a really fun experience! The puzzles weren’t challenging in the usual sense but they were definitely different and very enjoyable. I loved the way that our actions linked together and we all left feeling very excited and looking forward to the next VR game that ClueQuest has to offer!
