Secrets Of The Pharaoh

Watch out for the sand! It’s pretty slippery in there so be careful. But it was a pretty good pharaoh escape room over all. I’ve done better, I’ve done worse. Only problems are definitely a lack of light for one puzzle and the slippery sand.

The sand was a bit slippery and I think one of the puzzles needs a refresh due to faded lines, but the puzzles were very fun regardless.

Game play was fun, note do not wear Sandals unless you want sand in between the toes. The only problem we had was that the room was fairly dim and there was nothing to carry to light up certain puzzles. We also weren’t informed that there was a pencil and paper and we try to not write on anything unless told prior - we just used our brains to keep track of things which was fine. It’s always awesome when a room can incorporate puzzles without locks and combos. Great job on the room. Fun story line.

The room was ok. The set design was good, and having no locks was nice. However, most puzzles consisted of deciphering hieroglyphics around the room. I wish a company would do an Egyptian theme without doing mostly hieroglyphic puzzles.

This one was really fun! No locks— all of the puzzles were very unique and fun to solve.

An enjoyable room that could have been amazing if not for an asterisk next to every element. The set is properly immersive! The sandy floor and dimly-flickering torches add to the authenticity without being an impediment (though there were a couple times a little more light would have been nice). This room contained no physical locks, which was a nice touch. However, so much of the tech was fiddly; we solved one puzzle by accident, solved two puzzles but had to move our answer by half an inch, and input the wrong answer once but still solved the puzzle. Clues are delivered by pre-recorded audio, moderator instruction over a speaker, and text via a screen. This mishmash of delivery methods wasn’t immersive, and the in-world clues were too quiet for us to properly hear. Many puzzles are very satisfying to solve, especially with the tactile set. That said, there’s a logic puzzle that really interrupts the flow of the game, and the lighting makes others a little challenging to solve, as previously mentioned. Overall, it’s a fun experience, and I’d definitely recommend it. Just don’t expect to be completed wowed or enamored if you’re more of an escape room connoisseur.

Love love LOVE this room! This is my fav at Alcatraz- very immersive, the puzzle difficulty level increases through the room which I thought was cool. No physical locks in the room which again just adds to that level of immersion that I love. This room is definitely in my top 5 rooms I’ve played!

Loved this room! I always enjoy the physical and hands on rooms. This room had some awesome and creative puzzles! The staff was friendly and we really enjoyed our time here. This one is totally worth trying out!

One of the most immersive pyramid games I’ve played! Very puzzle focused and so much fun! We had a great game master to top it off.
