As a keen archaeologist, you and your team are desperate to travel to the newly uncovered site in the Valley of the Kings! You have heard tales of a highly valuable golden artifact that’s been buried somewhere nearby, but your mission is strictly academic. If you happen upon the artifact, that would just be a nice juicy bonus. You are mostly interested in the tales of a lost Pharaoh—someone so highly respected, buried here among the kings, but their resting place is still yet to be found. Will you be the first to find the truth and maybe even gain riches beyond your belief, or will you be trapped like many others who ventured in, never to be seen again?

Had a really fun time with my family playing this room, we all felt immersed in the game and the experience was so much fun and quite challenging at the right time. The host was great and into the game with us when we needed clues and delivering the brief! Thank you
A well built room with some great puzzles. Well worth the visit. Great hosting from Rohan.
This was the worst escape room we have tried yet. From the start, the company (tenpin) had rotaed the employee on too late as they hadnt anticipated anyone booking. They very kindly provided 2 complimentary games of bowling, and as we were in no rush this was well received- so no real complaints there.
This poor organisation was a sign of things to come, however. When we arrived at the room, they couldnt find our booking. They made a new booking for us and took us to the room- which is where the problems really began.
Initially, the room wasnt reset- so we had to exit while this happened. No preamble or context was given, we got sent into the room and just told to begin. There was no music, no immersion whatsoever. The gamemaster was giving constant clues and hints despite us requesting none. Several of the puzzles had missing components, making them impossible to complete. Many of the puzzles didn't work as intended, and the host made us read out our solution before manually activating the reveals. Speaking of reveals, several reveals to puzzles occurred silently in rooms we had been through- which was frustrating.
When we escaped, they misrecorded our team as a team of 4, so on the official website our time is displayed under the wrong name and teamsize.
A very frustrating experience which would definitely dissuade any new escapees.
