We had so much fun. It was our first time so I think we should of gotten better institutions with better clues. Cause the Archeologists died.

This was my first experience with an escape room... as well for my 3 other friends - but luckily we had an experienced friend (20+ rooms) to guide us.
First off, our host was very friendly and professional... Gave us the run down before going in, and provided the back story.
First impressions: The room was small, but well designed with a lot of attention to detail. The the main set piece was amazing. You could really tell that a lot of love, time and effort was put into creating it.
The story was fun, the puzzles weren't overly taxing but a fun type of challenge... And varied. We used a hint at one point, and completed it the room with less than a minute to go.
Would definitely recommend!

We are so happy you enjoyed yourselves! We always appreciate when people see the care we put into the room and thank you for your kind words. We will strive to exceed your expectations for our next game.
Dr. Carter asked me to send his thanks for saving him from his certain doom. He is still recovering from the ordeal but should be back to Seattle soon.

I had a lot of fun finding clues and working on the puzzles and trying to save the world! The video of an archeologist who explains our plight - and who periodically returns to inform us of the time left - was especially enjoyable. I went with my husband and didn't know anyone else in our party - but immediately felt like part of the group as we worked on the puzzles together. My only tip would be to think outside the box - don't think that just because something wasn't around in ancient Egypt that it won't be part of your puzzles. This Pharaoh is a modern Pharaoh! Anything anywhere can be a clue to one of the puzzles. The hour went by so fast that it felt more like 20 minutes! Don't be shy about calling for help if you need it!

Greetings Barb L,
Thank you so much for the kind words and excellent tips to players. Especially about asking for help from the Curator. He loves to help the adventurers with the thousands of ancient scrolls, books and even google access in the sub basement library deep in the depths under the Seattle Dept. Of Archeological Antiquities.
Most importantly we love to hear when we are someones favorite room. We hope our new room coming this Spring will be you next favorite.

Well made puzzles. Slightly on the easier and crowded size for 8 experienced puzzler roomers but still incredably enjoyable. They mentioned a new or expanded puzzle room in the works, can't wait to try it.

Your group was exceptional! We currently have a 30% success rate. For experienced groups we recommend 6 or 7 and for new escapers or people who have only done a few 7-9 people.
Our new adventure will be ready early Spring we can't wait to have you play!

This was a fantastic experience! The puzzles were fun to solve, and the props were unbelievably cool the way they all worked together. It was challenging and kept us moving the entire time. Good mix of puzzles, too, so there was something for everyone in our group. Looking forward to what they have in store for their next room.
