About the escape room
After the ancient Egyptian capital was established in Thebes, most of the pharaohs were buried here. Since the world-famous discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1923, many have coveted the priceless treasures hidden within these tombs. However, despite numerous attempts, no one has been able to breach the heavily guarded resting places. With the passing of the tomb excavator, Carter, the secrets remained hidden once more. The newly appointed curator, John, embarked on a seven-year quest and finally decided to extend an invitation to an expedition team. Yet, challenges lie ahead on the journey…

AI Overview
AIPlayers consistently praise the sensor-heavy, gadget-forward design and the sheer volume of puzzles. Story delivery via placards and cutscenes feels muddled, which can hurt immersion and make the puzzle order unclear. Backtracking through multiple rooms is common and can be confusing. Hosting quality and timekeeping vary between teams.
WeaknessesNarrative is hard to follow when spread across signs and videos, and the flow can stall without clear direction. A few puzzles require small leaps in logic and involve heavy back-and-forth. At least one group reported lukewarm GM engagement and fuzzy timing.
StrengthsSlick set dressing with lasers, sensors, and satisfying interactions. Plenty to solve, and a memorable final challenge leaves a strong last impression.
SecuritySome movement and room-to-room transitions are required, so watch your step in tighter areas. A visible timer may not be present, so ask the GM if tracking matters to you.
Level of fearNot a scare-focused room; it leans on exploration and adventure. Suitable for teens and adults who enjoy Indiana Jones vibes rather than horror.
Actors' gameNo live actors; interaction is primarily environmental. GM support can feel light, and some teams wanted a stronger pregame briefing.
Quality of riddlesHigh puzzle count mixing tactile tasks with tech-driven solves. Mostly fair, though a few are under-clued or imprecise and can break momentum. Expect semi-linear progress with occasional leaps and coordination across spaces.
PlotYou’re an expedition invited to pry into Thebes after Carter, guided by a curator chasing the tombs’ secrets. The lore exists but is delivered passively, so key beats can be easy to miss.
Difficulty levelOverall difficulty skews medium-to-hard and benefits from a 3–5 player team, with some reports of a four-player minimum for certain tasks. Newcomers can play with hints, while veterans will enjoy the volume and variety.
