Just over a month ago the long lost tomb of Cluetankhamun was unearthed for the first time in over 3 millennia. A team of explorers were sent in to recover the Cluetan Crystal, a jewel believed to possess the power of the Nile. It has been several days since last contact with the exploring party so it’s time to send a new expedition down into the tomb to retrieve the crystal. But watch your step – Who knows what happened to the last exploring party.

Good escape room, did it for the Egypt theme. Could have been more immersive in the history of archaeology of the excavation of the tombs.

poor hosting

Fairly standard Clue HQ-fare (by which I mean it was full of padlocks). This room had a decent variation of puzzle types (and gets bonus points for having riddles which I always enjoy but rarely see in escape rooms).

The low lighting didn't add much, and we were glad to be early enough in the day to have fresh batteries in the supplied torches.

Generally good theming, but one memorable puzzle, while Egyptian themed, definitely didn't belong in a tomb.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Two of the many things I've learned from escape games are: if you enter an ancient tomb it's certain to be trapped and/or cursed; and any such trap or curse will take precisely sixty minutes to take effect. Clue HQ's Egyptian theme is one of their more immediately impressive designs, and while the clue screen and modern padlocks show that they're not going for realism, the decor still created a good impression up front. They get points for the gratuitous puns, too.

splitting up to work on separate puzzles doesn’t feel isolating because of the proximity. I’m not sure it would have been as enjoyable with a much larger group

A team of four of us ventured down to ClueHQ to play their Egypt themed game. I did always wonder what it would be like to explore a Mummy's tomb ...
