Reviews

The waiting area itself is really cool! The gameplay was also really great...I would say The Tomb was one of the most immersive escape rooms I've ever done, so I highly recommend this room. The only thing I wish has been better was the host, we kind of felt like we were a nuisance rather than welcomed guests.

Most immersive escape room I've done. Was very impressed! The waiting room is also completely decked out and was really cool to walk around.

Customer service

GM was dressed the part but seemed disengaged and short when providing hints. Didn't smile at all. Did not greet us when he first saw us. Also, when I booked the room, it was for a time on the hour, so we arrived about 15 minutes before the hour. After waivers were signed, the GM said at about 10 before the hour that he could get us in the room was early "about 25 minutes ahead of schedule". I said oh, I thought the time was for on the hour and he said no for 15 minutes after the hour (I double checked the booking starts and it definitely said on the hour). Not a big deal but just gave the vibe that we were stupid. The hints came across that way too.

This room was amazing and super immersive! I had such a blast and the puzzles were so clever but not impossible to solve which i greatly appreciated! The staff was super kind and passionate about the stories and the rooms (shout out to Dawson!!) I’ve been to many escape rooms but this one is definitely one of the best!

Great experience. Love the waiting room style with lots of interesting movie paraphernalia to look at. Great staff who dress the part for each room. Room itself was well themed and constructed.

Our favorite of the two rooms. The immersive and special effects of this room is amazing and felt like an actual pyramid tomb. Puzzles were great!

The Tomb was fantastic right down to the smallest detail. This was one of the best rooms for details that I’ve been in. Straightforward room, but definitely had its challenges as well.

Gameplay

Somewhat linear without being a straight line. Really well balanced from the start.

Atmosphere

Felt like we were in a real tomb. Everything added nicely to the effect!

Customer service

Fantastic staff! We arrived early and was able yo be taken in just a little after we arrived. Staff played along with the room from the start to help with the atmosphere!

Good balance of moving around while keeping your brain engaged as well.

Thank you, kslittle! We've always rather been under the impression that if you're going to face a 3000 year old malevolent priest, it at least oughta be a little fun while fighting for your very existence. -Harrison Fjord, ESCAPE! ALASKA A Play Alaska Experience "You Can Believe Again"

Fun and visually appealing, but it’s pretty short. What there was was fun, I just wish there was more of it. We were worried we were behind only to realize we’d just unlocked the exit and the game was over. There’s enough room to wander without getting in each other’s way, but I’d recommend a small team. The room is heavily reliant on a book of clues, which means the team can often only be working on one puzzle at a time with all but one or two players backseat driving instead of everyone having something to do. I’ve seen very linear puzzles that do a better job of making sure everyone can be participating at once if they want to, so this was pretty disappointing. Just breaking the clue book out into multiple sheets so the team can share would help if they don’t want to remove it as an element.

Gameplay

Atmosphere

There’s heavy fog and some scent as you enter the hallway for briefing, so be aware if that’ll be an issue for you. There’s sand throughout the room. We got a large prob clue book, but a regular yellow legal pad for notes. The lights go out briefly each time you complete a puzzle, which was dramatic but mostly just frustrating.

Customer service

Story

I was never sure why the character giving us hints was helping us, since he was also the one who trapped us in the first place. But he didn’t set the traps? I don’t know, I have questions.

The GM was in costume but didn’t participate in the story, even during the briefing.

You’ll need to pick up items off the floor and kneel.

Accessibility

Stuff to be aware of depending on access needs: - There aren’t captions or subtitles on the briefing videos. - Reading handwritten text is a big part of the game. - The game area is accessible but some puzzles are set too high for someone in a wheelchair to see or access easily. - The lighting is thematically poor. - There’s heavy fog and some scent as you enter the hallway for briefing. - There’s sand throughout the room, but it wasn’t a traction issue.

Thanks so much for the feedback! The average completion time in this room is around 57 minutes, so kudos to your group for getting out so quickly that you wanted more! That just means you were crazy above average. It somewhat depends on how you play the room, but there's really only one point (at the end) where everyone is focusing on one puzzle. Prior to that, the antagonist's journal actually is broken up so that multiple puzzles can be worked on simultaneously, it's just done sneakily. Glad you had fun and wanted more!
