It feels like you're in a movie set room at Universal Studios, except that you're allowed to interact with and touch everything! This was my third foray into playing an Escape Room, and it did not disappoint. Our group was blown away at the puzzle props, music, and tech used in the room. Rise of the Mad Pharaoh is an immersive, superfun mind-bender, and it executes the Mummy adventure/mystery theme flawlessly. It is challenging and I recommend taking a group of 6-8.

Description:

While out on a dig for the ancient sarcophagus of the mad Pharaoh Ah-Ramen-Twostep, Dr. Jebidiah Carter, a world renown archaeologist, tired and worn from the hot Egyptian sun, packed up his tools for the day. On his way out of the tomb, he stumbled over some rocks. He had never noticed those rocks before and had spent weeks in the tomb. He knew every stone, nook and cranny of that tomb like the back of his hand.

Suddenly a huge boulder, slowly started to roll towards the entrance. Dr. Carter raced towards it, but the boulder was too fast for his tired legs. He was trapped in the tomb.

Can you and your team help him out of this dark and spirit infested chamber? Legend says that once the trap is set, the Mad Pharaoh will rise up from his gritty grave, take a sacrifice and rule the world. You can’t allow Dr. Carter to become his sacrifice!

Reviews of escape game "Rise of the Mad Pharaoh"

Just had a great time with some friends doing the "Rise of the Mad Pharaoh". Really creative puzzles with some great Egyptian magic! Took 5 friends that had never been done an escape room before and they loved it.

I played Rise of the Mad Pharoah with a group of friends this past week and it was INCREDIBLE! Everybody worked to their strengths as the clock wore down. The puzzles were just hard enough for us. The actual room looked like something out of a film - great decor and some fun "easter eggs" to discover.

Now if only I could get temporary amnesia so I could play it again! (ha)

By far one of the best escape rooms in Seattle! In this one, it wasn't US who needed to escape - instead we needed to solve a puzzle in the room to help someone ELSE escape from somewhere else... can't say more than that, wouldn't want to spoil the fun! There's an engaging story with cleverly integrated roles for each of the attendees, unique puzzles that stand out from the usual barrage of combination locks, all put together by a warm and friendly curator (Seth) who loves what he does, and truly cares about the experience you have. AND - there's free parking right across the street. Can't beat that! A remarkable experience, superb for team-building and for bonding with family and friends! Good for kids, too - I'm planning on returning with my nine year-old.
