Rumors of a hidden treasure have drawn you to explore this ancient Egyptian tomb. Little did you know, treasure wasn’t what was hidden inside, but a vengeful, dead pharaoh. Are you able to obey all of his commands to escape back out before the hourglass is empty? Or will his curse consume you and your greed? Set inside an ancient Egyptian tomb, this game is a mix of Indiana Jones and Legends of the Hidden Temple. With no locks or keys, you’ll need to think outside the box. The pharaoh awaits your arrival.

It’s a very fun room. I had a great time and the review is definitely between heart and thumbs up.

For those playing this room for the first time, you will likely enjoy it! For people who have played V1 of this room, it’s not a very different room. We played both, and enjoyed V1 more, although that may have been because we weren’t comparing it to any other version. However, this version does have some new elements that are fun and engaging!

Gameplay

Overall good. A bit too much reliance on memorization puzzles, and they did not swap out some of the most frustrating puzzles from V1. But, the quality is definitely more polished and there are some new very fun puzzles that they have integrated. The last puzzle is an especially fun (albeit stressful) one!

Atmosphere

Fun atmosphere, slightly higher quality than before. Still not one of the most impressive at Countdown, though

Customer service

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

More interesting than most Egyptian rooms. If you’re a fan of the theme, and especially if you haven’t played V1, it’s definitely worth playing

Story

Difficulty

Medium

Enough challenge to make it interesting, engaging, and worthwhile (even after playing the 1st version). We beat it as a team of 2 with about 8mins to spare

Game tech

High tech

No traditional locks or keys

Ideal number of players

3-4 players will make it easier. It was a lot to do (and a lot of stair climbing!) for 2 people, but definitely still doable.

Scary

Was anything broken?

A few relatively-active methods of getting back and forth between areas. I was working up a bit of a sweat!

Accessibility

Climbing required to get to all areas, one puzzle involving colors

Easy to find location

Quality of the room was great. The puzzles were interesting and inventive and the tech level was impressive for a non-chain location. We were a bit disappointed with the experience with the staff. With most non-chain, you can tell they have a passion for escape rooms, but with the staff here there was no enthusiasm or passion, it was just a job.
