Avid explorer and archaeologist Ernest P. Sanderson has made the discovery of his life, uncovering 3 hidden tombs, each full of enough treasure to make him rich beyond measure. Before he reaps his reward, he discovers a map containing the location of a fourth secret tomb that was thought to only exist in myths. Ernest drops everything to hunt down this fourth tomb and discover what mysteries it contained. Unfortunately, this was the last anyone ever heard from him. This was 50 years ago.

Now the map has come into your possession – can you track down the long-lost tomb, and unearth its mysteries?

Our Tomb Room is harder than Remy’s Room. We recommend playing Remy’s Room before you try to escape The Tomb.

Our newest game unfortunately, will not be suitable for all guests. There is an element of dark confined spaces within this room, and may involve crawling so we do not recommend this to pregnant women, people who suffer from claustrophobia or anyone over the height of 6 foot (although if you don’t mind a tight squeeze then be our guest!).

Found this place by complete accident on our way back past costco! A little unassuming on the outside as its in an industrial estate in Liverpool, but don't be put off! 

Our host was delightful, and clearly had a passion for the job! The game itself was fantastic, with some fun suprises along the way! The whole family really enjoyed it, although us adults were knackered by the time we had finished! 

There was one puzzle however that was quite tactical, which I did get a little frustrated at, but hubby cracked it no issue.

We have booked in for Remy's Room next week and can't wait!

Was an amazing experience from entering Cluefinders and the atmosphere and hosting was superb throughout. We really enjoyed this escape room and would love to go back to Cluefinders for their new rooms. Somehow we managed to escape without any clues and gained a new record for the Tomb!

Great room layout! Fantastic hosting. Also loved the physical aspect to the puzzles. However it was quite difficult as there were a few puzzles I wouldn't have got without clues

Another great room from Cluefinders, and easily my favourite in Liverpool. Some really clever use of space and some puzzles I'd never seen before.

If you're visiting Liverpool, definitely add The Tomb to your list.

A very classic escape room, which is my preferred style as I’m not a huge fan of technology. Linear game for the most part, but with enough to keep us 3 enthusiasts engaged. A surprise element in there as well which I hadn’t seen before in a room. Theming was good, hosts were great and had real passion for the job.

Good fun. Plenty to do. Got out just in the nick of time.

Playing this back to back with Remy's Room was an interesting contrast, I enjoyed this one more, there were some clever physical puzzles and a reveal I'd not seen before but it still suffered from some of the same problems as Remy's.  An interesting curio from the first age of escape rooms.

Writing this review after escaping from The Tomb in January 2018. The Tomb was SO effective! I can't say too much to not give anything away but it REALLY felt like we were in a tomb. I think this room... can... easily be my favourite room in Liverpool! (And I've already done 14 others in Liverpool so...) A bit of a shame that they refused to reimburse/voucher the money for the two people who couldn't join... That made the game quite expensive but we still had a great time.

Reviews by escape room review sites

The second room at Clue Finders is Egyptian themed, and has you in search of a secret tomb. I was a little cast down to find that we'd entered a room decorated as a study rather than anything more ancient in appearance, but the game has secrets to uncover. Our host described it as a more physical game, and that was entirely true: be prepared for plenty of movement, some narrow spaces, and a decent chunk of content based around physical manipulation or skill.

Be warned also that it's pretty diml...

An enjoyable room that never really got me excited. The decor was a bit bare and while there were a couple of things to keep the attention of the enthusiasts, it never really felt like it flowed.
