A famous explorer Dr Andrew Nubis discovered a lost tomb of ancient Egypt. It was rumoured that a great treasure was hidden inside the tomb, but the gods guarded it fiercely.
It is said that Dr Nubis when exploring the tomb, found the treasure and was driven mad with lust, and rather than managing to escape the tomb the gods sealed him inside because of his greed.
He's set an array of puzzles & traps to make sure no one else can get their hands on his loot. Do you have what it takes to go one step further, claim the treasure, and make your escape?

The room looked great and flowed really well. All of the puzzles fit with the theme and I enjoyed some of the unique elements in it. One physically puzzle stopped us for ages and it was a shame to learn after that there is no built in fail-safe if teams cannot solve it. Also if torches are going to be provided, please give one for each member of the team! Otherwise really enjoyed exploring and escaping the tomb!

Not as good as the other rooms here but still fun and original.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Don’t make a room unnecessarily dark; or if you do, make sure every player has a satisfactorily strong source of light. That’s a subjective opinion, and not everyone agrees with it, but it’s one I’ll argue for until I’m blue in the face. If it’s an opinion you share, then be warned you may find Sands of Time frustrating: it’s played in pitch darkness, with two lanterns shared between however many players are present.

To be fair, the total darkness successfully achieves its aim of building atmos...

A charmingly decorated escape room with solid puzzles. Where they made use of standard escape room tropes, they threw in a twist that helped retain engagement. The experience was tied up nicely by a fitting end sequence although it was a little tough to get everyone fully involved.

We should have performed better in this room than we did, but it was still enjoyable and this would be a great room for family groups to play, even enthusiasts should have a good time.
