About this product

The tomb has sealed behind you. Now find your way out.

A cooperative escape-room adventure filled with ancient clues, coded locks and challenging riddles.

Work together to decipher hieroglyphs, crack codes and escape a mysterious burial chamber before it is too late.

Product Description

A visit to Egypt’s Valley of the Kings takes a frightening turn when you become separated from your tour group inside the tomb of Tutankhamun.

As you explore the narrow passageways, you enter a mysterious burial chamber, and suddenly a massive stone door closes behind you. All that remains nearby is a dusty notebook and an ancient disk.

In EXIT: The Game – The Pharaoh's Tomb, players work together to solve a series of interconnected riddles and escape the sealed chamber. Hidden objects are protected by three-hieroglyph codes, and each solution must be entered into the decoder disk to discover whether you have found the right answer. 

As the mystery unfolds, new Riddle Cards and strange items become available, revealing more of the tomb and bringing you closer to freedom. If a puzzle leaves you stuck, Help Cards provide progressively stronger clues before revealing the solution. 

Can you decipher the tomb’s secrets and escape before you are sealed inside forever?
