Reviews of escape game "Rise of the Mad Pharaoh"

• Fun time! Would definitely go back to try another room. We did the Rise of the Mad Pharaoh. Group of 9 or so.

• The guide was very professional, polite and answered our questions with just enough to keep us moving along. Great job.

• I was planning an holiday appreciation event for my nonprofit staff. In addition to being extremely responsive, Hourglass Escape Seattle's director, Seth, showed genuine interest in our work, which made our visit even more special! Our team had a great time in the Curse of the Mad Pharaoh!

• My wife, daughter, granddaughter and I tackled the Pharaoh's Room -- just the 4 of us. Our granddaughter (10 years old) was so great at puzzle solving, logic, decoding, and was completely engaged, It's quite the challenge (it's like being in the room playing The Room video game if that makes sense). We solved it with only minutes left. Staff was professional, fun, helpful with occasional hints when needed. We also took a look at a few other escape rooms they have -- and we will be BACK! It's great fun -- you won't be disappointed!

• I took my team of AmeriCorps members here for some team time and we had such a great experience! Seth helped us with the process and it was wonderful! I would definitely take my team back again. We all had a blast. The escape room was fun- we did the 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.

• 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.

• We went to Hourglass Escapes the day after thanksgiving as a family event - we had 8 people which seemed like the most you would want, even though they allowed for 9.
  
  We had a really great time. The story was intriguing and facilitated really well by the 'curator'. We nearly completed the challenge - only had about one puzzle to finish before we ran out of time. The challenges required creativity and teamwork - it was a great experience.
  
  The props were well made and full of surprises. This was a great experience and would highly recommend!
