🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

All props in the room are absolutely perfect for the Egyptian theme, radiating an ancient and mysterious aura that is simply captivating! The stories were beautifully inscribed on either ancient scrolls or a weathered diary, adding to the enchanting atmosphere.
Ancient symbols appeared all over the tomb, and by solving puzzles, we could uncover the solution to the next challenge.
The majority of the room is non-linear, allowing teams to split up and conquer. We appreciated the diverse range of puzzles in this room, which also varied nicely in difficulty.
One particular puzzle stood out as our favorite due to the special effect that occurred upon solving it.
The final puzzle provided a thrilling experience as we raced against the clock, and the grand reveal at the end added a satisfying conclusion to the story.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

We had to make an educated guess about the positioning of one of the solutions in a deduction puzzle where a clue appeared to be missing.
Improving the cluing system by the GM could increase the immersion level of the game.
