📖 THE STORY
You and your team of archaeologists have embarked on an exciting expedition to an ancient Egyptian site, where you’ve managed to uncover a hidden tomb. Eager to explore its secrets, you delve deeper into the tomb's passageways, marveling at the intricate carvings and artefacts that surround you. However, your excitement is abruptly cut short when you inadvertently trigger a rock slide that seals the entrance behind you.
Realizing you only have enough air for about 60 minutes, the pressure mounts as you and your team must now navigate the labyrinthine depths of the tomb. To survive, you must solve a series of complex puzzles left behind by the pharaoh, each one more challenging than the last. The ancient riddles and mechanisms test your wits and teamwork as you race against time.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
This is a highly physical game with a plethora of activities and sights to behold. Your team will find themselves crawling, sliding, and climbing—all sorts of physical challenges that are rarely present in escape rooms in the United States.
Each and every unlock and hidden secret is a marvel to experience. You never quite know what will open or when it will open, and there are some truly amazing reveals hidden inside this game. Just when you think all of the space has been used up, the room seems to find more and more creative uses for it. There are even surprises hidden in props that, after 300 rooms, I haven't seen replicated anywhere else.
The wide variety of puzzles adds to the excitement. While the game leans heavily on physical challenges, it doesn't skimp on the logic and deduction puzzles. There's something for everyone, whether you enjoy brainy, tight puzzles or more active, physical tasks. This blend of puzzle types ensures that all team members can engage and contribute, making for an exhilarating and well-rounded escape room experience.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Not much is needed in this section. It is a wonderful game with a balanced mix of physical and brainy puzzles. Any critique here would be nitpicking the game, which is unnecessary for such a fantastic experience.
