In an ancient tomb, buried deep below the sand lies the tomb of Menkaure. Locals believed that the tomb was cursed and if any mortal dared to enter, the gods themselves would awaken to unleash terror on those who had disturbed them.

For years many daring explorers and grave robbers alike tried in vain to unearth the secrets of the long lost tomb. None had ever returned…Until now. The souls of the gods have been removed from their resting places and have been released to wreak havoc on those who have wronged them!

Now YOU will join the Medjay and stand face to face with the gods. You must pass their tests and prove yourselves worthy by returning their souls to slumber. Fail, and all of Egypt will be doomed for all eternity!

Our host was amazing, she showed great enthusiasm which had added effect to the room! The room itself was tricky at times but really well thought out and immersive. We will definitely be back to try the other room as well as the new one when it opens!

Some clever puzzles in this room but ultimately nothing ground-breaking. Theming is nice. Host was absolutely fantastic, very enthusiastic and attentive to teams. Worth a play but beware of low ceilings if you are a tall player!

Played the original Tomb back in its hayday many years ago, so thought we'd give this a go. I was pleasantly surprised how different this was to the original. The theming's great and you can see the love the new owners have put into it. Some clever puzzles in there as well that we hadn't seen before. Still quite physical though for those with dogdy knees!

A little tricky for 2 players, but as most of the game is open, go scooby do style and split up and look for clues!

We returned to play Reverse after having a great experience in Remys yesterday. We returned without the younger members of the team this time as we were aware this game is a little trickier! 

This is one of the best games we've played in a long time! puzzles were refreshingly different, the use of space was interesting and there is a mix of padlocks and technology.  Our host was lovely and accommodating and gave us just the right nudges to push in the right direction. 

Cluefinders is a hidden Gem in Liverpool! Dont miss it!

Brilliantly designed room with lots to do, and a large variety of puzzles - even the waiting room was themed! Loved it!

We returned to Cluefinders yesterday for our 4th time!

Once again the wonderful Danny ran our game and as always she was lovely and welcoming. This game is a new game that uses the same space as the Tomb - But don't let put you off, the guys have designed this game very cleverly - Can't say too much! 

As a team who has played a fair few games now, it was refreshing to see puzzles we've never seen before.. which is rare these days! A very well thought out room which we'd enjoyed. Definitely our new favourite room in Liverpool. 

As a team of 3 we found there's a lot to do, and the game itself is very open - As a tip from us, split up and make sure your observation skills are top-notch!

We're super excited about the switch!  Can't wait to see whats in store.

Get this room booked while it's available!

After playing the Christmas revamp of Remy's room last year I was looking forward to seeing what the gang at Cluefinders could do with The Tomb and I was not disappointed!

There's a clever twist right from the start that I won't spoil for you but it feels like a whole new room. Every single puzzle is brand new and there isn't a single trace of the old ones which can always be a danger in an overlay of an existing room. 

The puzzles are as clever as you'd expect from Cluefinders, sometimes tricky but never unfair. There is the right balance between signposting and letting you find your own way through and having those great moments of discovering new things. 

Theming remains superb throughout and there's a twist on the clue delivery system that I absolutely loved too. Hosting is always going to be good from Dannie & Kelvin and this visit was no exception. 

Cluefinders are my favourite escape room centre and after two fantastic revamps of existing rooms I cannot wait for their new room to open!

We always have a great experience at Cluefinders, you can tell a lot of creativity and care goes into creating their games. The tomb reverse the curse was immersive and has so many clever puzzles. We did need a few clues but we were just being silly. Dannie and Kelvin are perfect hosts and take great care in ensuring you have the best experience.

We were invited to play a test game. 

Firstly, if you've played the Tomb, you'll noticed the entire room has been turned on its head and the use of space was very different. We absolutely enjoyed this game - Completely new puzzles and some very clever bits that we really appreciate - and its refreshing to see puzzles we've never seen before, so that's a bonus. 

Big shout out to Danny who ran our game - Thank you for the laughs!

Had a really great time at ClueFinders! Reverse the Curse is a fantastic Egyptian themed room with some really clever puzzles (won't give any away!) and great use of decor and props. It was really immersive, pretty darn spooky and our host Dannie was a delight!
