Secrets of the Pharaohs

We tried this with only two people, which didn’t work well. We got stuck on one puzzle, so there was too much to do afterward. I suggest doing this with at least four people. But it’s got some fun and interesting puzzles, and it’s impressively designed.

Immersion was excellent, but the puzzles were very confusing. Not intuitive- many times we asked how we were suppose to know how to do what the puzzle required. clues were either not helpful or directly told us what to do. Most puzzles were repeatative in that it was about deciphering symbols. The flow was bad. So beware, fancy sets, but lacked in puzzle and flow. Most of group had done a few rooms, 2 of us have done 40 + and work at escape room out of state, so we were not just lacking in ability.

This company kicks ass when it comes to atmosphere and set design. The puzzles were fun and we got out with plenty of time to spare. I read some reviews complaining about the puzzles not being intuitive - my group didn’t have that issue. This room definitely needs at least four people though. We had a blast.

I'll admit I'm a little over doing Egyptian themed escape rooms, but I throughly enjoyed the room so much! The puzzles may have not been terribly difficult, but they were so fun to do! The room is a bit smaller than expected, so we could have done the room with 4 people, tops. I appreciate so much that they did not use darkness as a way to make the room hard as well.

This is hands down my favorite escape company so far. All of their rooms are incredibly immersive and their plot event extends between rooms. Just a really great company. This room made you feel like you were trapped inside a temple and had some great voice technology elements.

I loved this room. Every puzzle was easy to understand except for one that needed multiple hints to get us going. The set design is the standout here, as it is fully immersive and really well executed.

I am of the belief that there is too many Egyptian tomb themed escape rooms. However, time emporium does it right. Really fun room mixed with technology in a way that makes it extremely satisfying to move forward. I always love Time Emporium rooms- highly recommended

There is a puzzle in this room that you’ll either know how to solve or you won’t - and if you don’t, you won’t be learning how to do it while in an escape room. It’s a flaw that is essentially unforgivable to me. If you find yourself struggling, ask your GM for a bypass. You can’t hint your way through this one.
