Egyptian Tomb

Our group of two did not complete. We needed maybe 2 more minutes to complete the last task, and we felt a little slighted because we spent at least that much time focusing on a box that ended up being broken. The gamemaster eventually saw we were struggling with it and came in to give us the key it held. There were a couple of things that didn't flow especially well, like things that really could be done multiple ways and resulted in more trial and error than ideal.

The room was very nicely themed, immersive and some of the interactive and skill based puzzles were fun. There was a heavy reliance on one puzzle solving technique which ended up being a bit repetitive but some of the clues were fun. Overall I give this room a solid thumbs up but it wasn’t particularly special.

We did this escape room with 2 adults and 2 children (8 years old and younger). I highly recommend this 2 rooms for beginners and younger children with the help of adults. The Egyptian Tomb has some great puzzles and definitely has a nice wow factor to it. Our gamemaster Harmony was great! She helped us when we definitely needed it and allowed us to discover when we needed it.

I love an Egyptian themed room and this one didn’t disappoint! We were pairs with 4 teens who had never done a room before and there were puzzles for the novice and seasoned player.

Egyptian Tomb: Trapped in an ancient Egyptian tomb our team of archaeologists to discover the mysteries of the tomb, locate a missing archaeologist, and find a way out. The Big Game: The opposing team was trying to sabotage us on the big game day. Locked in the coach's office, our group of football players had to find a way out before the championship game. Casino Heist: Our team of robbers had to break into the casino vault and get the goods before the police arrived to haul us away to jail. Pros: The experience at Escape Works is top notch from the moment you walk in. The waiting area is nice and clean and the game masters are professional and courteous. The set in each room is simple and decorated to fit the theme. Props are minimal but the few props fit with the overall storyline. The emphasis is less on searching and more on solving the puzzles themselves, which is what we enjoy the most. The puzzles were all logical and linear and worked best with small groups of 6 or less. Smaller group sizes were also best since the rooms themselves were very small. We successfully escaped all three rooms (in spite of ourselves at times). Everybody had a great time! Cons: These rooms definitely work best for smaller groups of people since moving around can be difficult with too many people. The puzzles ranged in complexity and there were a few moments when we were completely stumped and could have used hints a little earlier. The hint system worked but was a bit delayed at times. Some of the puzzles in the Big Game were less logical and therefore delayed our progress. We loved Casino Heist but our brains definitely hurt after trying to solve the mathematical based puzzles there.

No reliance on locks, and pretty good mechanics. We loved the room overall!

Did this room solo while on a biz trip to Denver. It was just enough of a challenge to make it exciting but not so difficult I felt overwhelmed. For my first time by myself it was a great fit. The two GMs were super helpful. Hinting system was great. The room itself was very well designed with lots of great immersive features and really great art.

This room was fun but very dark, which made it difficult to see. The 4 of us got paired with a dad and his 2 young kids. That made it hard to move around the tiny spaces. 7 is WAY too many people. 2-3 would have been better. Some of the clues were hard to figure out. Atmosphere and story was Indiana Jones like.

I didn’t like that the rooms weren’t private. My sisters and I were in a room with a couple on a date and a grandma with her 10 yr old grandson. Creates a weird dynamic.
