The find of the century has been uncovered in the depths of Yorkshire - The Tomb of The Wandering King, a mysterious figure, lost to history. But the archaeological team have been silent for weeks. You arrive to find a dig site, long abandoned, and the mouth of the Tomb ajar and aglow. Who - or what - is this Wandering King? And what secrets lie beneath the soil?

story-drivenbroken techtoo many screens

Story driven with little to no puzzle solving required. More of a interactive tv show than an escape room. Harsh, but true.

Hackers have fallen at the puzzle hurdle. There is simply not enough stuff to keep us entertained, the majority is follow order and instructions.. not much searching and a lot of press this button to see what it does. Input this code (which we give you), watch a video and maybe a door will open. 

Great sets!

Everything FELT GM controlled which is not what you want from a game. 

Worth a try as a first room but would be hesitant to play for experienced teams.

Original puzzles, but the controls of one puzzle early in the game didn't work properly and one late in the game seemed to complete without us working out how to do it.

This room really is the gift that keeps on giving with some cleverly thought out puzzles and some unique and high tech features. Would have loved a writing board but other than that it was great and the whole team was fully engaged from start to finish 

Reviews by escape room review sites

I cannot recommend Tomb of the Wandering King highly enough. It ticked so many boxes for me personally and I am a big fan. For sure, I think the puzzles brought the overall rating down from a 5 to 4, and if you’re an enthusiast who looks for excellent puzzle design before making a trip then perhaps book yourself into Blood over Baker Street instead. But for me? Tomb of the Wandering King is well worth the trip and goes down in my personal hall of fame.
