• "We did the Curse of the pharaoh escape room. Eliza made us feel so welcome, and it was very funny when we solved a clue and she had to let us know that we were stood in the way of the next clue."
• "Once you use the clue/help button, they will give you a lot of hints all at once. Make sure to ask for only 1 little clue or you'll suddenly be handheld, especially if your time is under 15 minutes."
• "Curse of the Pharoah is really poorly designed in my opinion - some parts were super easy and other parts were ridiculously difficult."
• "It was ok but not great. We went on a quiet day and the staff were not paying full attention. Several times we were doing the right thing and they didn't notice."
• "Hard to write a review on The actual place. This is more towards the game and experience. It's an outdoor game with Ipad and a secret service case."
