5 Wits was fun from beginning to end. Each room was more exciting than the next and the tour guide was the best. Everyone got involved from the youngest to the oldest. It was fun, funny, kept uson our toes, kept everyone thinking and actively participating in a great time. more

I read so many great reviews and descriptions of TOMB that I was convinced it would be a thrilling, suspenseful experience for my family when they visited the city. I was expecting something along the lines of a Universal Studios-style attraction based on the overviews ("mind bending adventure"? "effects straight from Steven Spielberg"??). What I got was a silly children's... more

I went to the very last show and it was just my boyfriend and I. The tour guide was very friendly and helpful. It was fun because it was just us two and sometimes the tour guide figuring out all the puzzles. I personally was scared but that's because I'm a scardycat. I would have liked it to go a... more

A great concept, but a bit lame. We took our 9 year old son and 12 year old daughter. Our son liked it, but anyone much younger might be a bit freaked out by the dark and noise. The puzzles weren't that fabulous or tricky. The guide was nice, and we were only with four others (a very nice family)... more

We took three grandchildren to the Tomb when in Boston visiting. They were 6, 9, and 12 years old. The darkness was scary to the two younger ones and it was realistic special effects. My granddaughter expected snakes to drop out of the ceiling.........lucky they didn't. It is expensive and not a good value for the two younger ones. We... more

I arranged to have my sons 9th birthday party at the Tomb. 8 Children and 2 adults attended. 6 Flashlights were given at the start of the attraction to 6 of the kids. We entered the first room - and the flashlights are electronically designed to go out one by one. After this little trick happens - the lights are... more

I went to the Tomb this weekend. Overall, my impression is negative. The attraction itself is an interesting idea and it's reasonably well done, but our group of six adults was paired with a teen's birthday celebration. Needless to say, the kids dominated the activity while we stood in the background and more or less watched them solve the puzzles.... more

First time I see this kind of attraction. First of all the staff are really nice and are really playing their role. You are joining a group with other visitors (about 12-15). Then you try to enter the TOMB, a bit like if you where Indiana Jones. You must solve small quest all together to be able to get back... more

I understand what previous reviewers have commented about. The price is a little steep considering it takes generally about 45 minutes to complete, but I thought it was a fun and entertaining experience nonetheless. True, not all the puzzles are all that challenging for adults, but it was fun working together as a group and learning how others think in... more
