Fun, family friendly room. Logical puzzles and lots of things to be doing. Hosting was brilliant.

Was pitched as ClueHQ's more difficult game but it wasn't particularly interesting. Just seemed to have more padlocks to do rather than any more interesting or challenging puzzles to solve.

Good escape room, did it for the Egypt theme. Could have been more immersive in the history of archaeology of the excavation of the tombs.

Great room! We absolutely loved all the padlocks and key combination locks. This allowed us all to try combinations and everyone was involved. Our game master was great!

Exhausting! But great room. LOTS to do (with 2 of us we ran around like headless chickens).  Really good range of puzzles, with lots of twists. A really well themed room as well with fun decoration.  Great hosting as well.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Two of the many things I've learned from escape games are: if you enter an ancient tomb it's certain to be trapped and/or cursed; and any such trap or curse will take precisely sixty minutes to take effect. Clue HQ's Egyptian theme is one of their more immediately impressive designs, and while the clue screen and modern padlocks show that they're not going for realism, the decor still created a good impression up front.

A team of four of us ventured down to ClueHQ to play their Egypt themed game. I did always wonder what it would be like to explore a Mummy's tomb ...
