ESCAPE THE LOST PYRAMID

Escape The Lost Pyramid is an escape game in Virtual Reality, taking place in the world of Assassin’s Creed Origins.

Welcome to the Animus.

February 1928.

An expedition led by Sir Beldon Frye disappears somewhere in the Sinai Peninsula. A team of four and a dozen local porters were looking for the Lost Pyramid of Nebka… Or more precisely, “something” that should have been there. They were never seen again. Using the simulation reconstructed from their DNA memory, your team will put themselves in the shoes of the explorers. Find out what happened to the expedition. And more importantly, locate what they were looking for.

In the game, 2 or 4 players team up and have 60 minutes to find a way out of the pyramid of Nebka. Players will live a larger-than-life adventure. An adventure that would be far too dangerous or just impossible to live in real life.

While the VR experience is designed to last approximately 50 minutes, the runtime is dependent on the players. Therefore, the experience may last for 30 minutes (min.) to an hour (max.).

Players must be at least 12 years of age to participate.

Vertigo sufferers should note that the game includes moments of virtual climbing which gives the illusion of being high above the ground.

This game does support wheelchair access / disabled access.

We have disabled access toilet plus level access into our location 

Also Ubisoft Escape Game support disabled controls see info below 

Activate stick rotation: in-game controls will allow camera rotation by using the touchpad/stick.

This option might be very helpful for people, who are limited in their body movements, e.g. when using a wheel chair.

With the touchpad/stick rotation activated, they can rotate their avatar without rotating their physical body.

This was my first time trying a VR experience and it was better than I expected. ClueQuests setup has two teams of 2 playing in the same room. We were lucky as the other team who'd booked the same timeslot as us didn't show up but I imagine it would be really distracting to hear another team talking in the background while you were playing. You were supposed to only hear your teammate talk through headphones but that didn't work at all.

The puzzles were all rather straightforward so this wasn't a particularly challenging experience but I enjoyed the novelty factor of the VR.  Worth trying once, but I probably wouldn't sign up for another.

Reviews by escape room review sites

This was a really fun experience! The puzzles weren’t challenging in the usual sense but they were definitely different and very enjoyable. I loved the way that our actions linked together and we all left feeling very excited and looking forward to the next VR game that ClueQuest has to offer!
