"…Constructed a hidden tomb to prevent any soul from obtaining the Eye of Horus…" Thousands of years ago, the gods Horus and Set shook the skies in a battle of thunder and lightning felt across the earth. In this epic conflict, Set escaped with the Eye of Horus, its light known for protection and prosperity. Even though Horus claimed victory, Set disappeared and constructed a hidden tomb to prevent any soul from obtaining the Eye of Horus, which he forged into a pendant worn around his neck. Knowing the Golden Head of Queen Nefertiti was the only item that could number his days, Set captured and hid it deep within the tomb. The ancient scripts speak of a Sacred Chest that could imprison Set, as long as the chest is sealed with the Golden Queen. Your crusade has found the Sacred Chest and traveled for twenty moons to the lost tomb. Recover the Golden Queen, capture Set, and release the light of the Eye of Horus!

This room had the potential for a 12/10 rating from me. The atmosphere, size of the escape room, and the majority of the puzzles were great. This was our first room here, so we were unaware of the flow. You get three life lines (they basically just give you the answer) and unlimited hints. What I didn’t know was that we were going to be getting constant unsolicited hint pics. We tried looking to the cameras and letting them know that we didn’t want hints unless we asked, but they kept coming. Next time we will try and make this clear ahead of time. The majority of the room was pretty straight forward. There was one puzzle that even after multiple hints we couldn’t figure it out, so we used a life line. After the game we asked the GM if he could explain to us that puzzle. He said he didn’t have time. Pretty frustrating when we spent a decent chunk of change, still had time on our clock, and it wasn’t busy. I’m all for hard puzzles, but if I can’t figure them out I like to know what I missed. Lastly, no AC. It was soooooo hot in there, we were all drenched in sweat. All that being said, this room was awesome and I definitely recommend. With a different GM, this definitely would have gotten a ‘loved it’, no AC and all. They said they are expanding and working on new rooms, I’m excited to play them all. I just hope they expand their HVAC units too lol.
The game flowed well and it was pretty obvious what the next steps were.
Large escape room with a great atmosphere.
The person that checked us in and showed us to our room was great. The GM Tyler (I believe) wasn’t the best. He kept giving hints for things that we were working on. We asked him to stop but the hints kept coming. There was one puzzle that we were unable to solve and we used a lifeline. After the game we asked if he could explain to us that puzzle. He said he didn’t have time. We paid over 200$ and still had 10+ minutes on our clock when we escaped. This left a sour taste in our mouths.

The room wasn’t that hard. Besides one puzzle that we couldn’t even get after multiple clues. It seems like others struggled on this as well from different reviews I have read.

I really liked this room but there were a few negatives. First it’s about 80 degrees outside and the room felt very hot so the AC wasn’t working great or they keep the rooms hot. This was extra irritating since some of the puzzles require a lot of moving. The other issue was one of the puzzles was incredibly difficult to the point where we just had to use a lifeline to get the answer. I’ve never seen a puzzle that tough and neither has my friend who has done over 70 rooms thought it was a bit much. When we asked about how you would solve the puzzle after the game, the GM said he was too busy to explain it. Besides those negatives, I really loved the design of the room. It was one of my favorite room in terms of aesthetics. Also most of the puzzles were fun and engaging.
The GM kept giving us clues even though we asked him not to and when we asked a question about a puzzle at the end of the game, he said he was too busy to answer

We loved the atmosphere and the puzzles (except 1 that was literally impossible to figure out). Immersive and fun experience minus a not so great GM and no AC when it was 90 degrees out but otherwise we enjoyed ourselves!
The person registering us and checking us in was inviting and friendly, but our GM seemed overworked. We had one puzzle we used a “lifeline” for that we could NOT figure out, and we asked after we got out of the room if he could explain it to us and he said “I don’t have time right now.” Rather than simply saying “I’m sorry, I’m running a couple other games” or something similar. He also kept giving us hints we didn’t ask for

This would’ve been a “love” if it wasn’t for the GM. The room was super cool with fun puzzles, good effects, and even a few jump scares. Lack of AC made it uncomfortable but for an hour we can deal. First, we got annoyed with him giving random, unsolicited clues even though we kept saying “please stop unless we ask for clues.” Like sure, tell me if I need to push something harder or whatever, but don’t tell me how to solve a puzzle if I’m actively doing it. Then, there was one really difficult puzzle that didn’t make sense. We ended up using a clue to move past, which is fine, but when we asked the GM at the end to explain it he said “I don’t have time.” So rude. For $32/person you can take two minutes to explain.

This is a fantastic company that has incredible sets in its rooms. I played this room right around the time it first opened which was a few years ago. At that time this was one of their weaker rooms. The puzzles were ok, a few of them could be brute forced, and one of the puzzles was one of the most confusing, convoluted puzzles I’ve ever done. However, the staff seemed to acknowledge the trouble groups have with the puzzle and I truly believe were committed to improvement. Even though this review seems harsh, I would recommend trying out the room because Erebus Escape is a good escape room company and I’m always excited to play their games.
It was decently fun, flow felt odd though. Felt like puzzles had been removed from play or something.
Set design was incredible and immersive.

Typical Egyptian theme. Only thing I saw that was a different in this room was one of the most convoluted puzzles I’ve ever had to solve, however it was around the time the room opened and tweaks have probably been made. The staff there seems dedicated to their rooms and struck me as the type of owners that do continual improvement in their games.

Thematically this room was really cool. Some of the puzzles were pretty difficult, however. You really have to pay attention to details. The game master had to give us a couple minutes extension in order for us to be able to finish
