Forget everything you know about escape games. Pharaoh’s Curse is a mind bending, immersive adventure that is one of a kind. It is one of the only escape games in the world with NO locks or keys, and features water effects, and many other effects across multiple floors! Will you break the curse and escape in time? Or will you fall victim to the Pharaoh’s Curse like the explorers before you?

This room doesn’t compare to other rooms at Countdown Games. There were multiple malfunctions, the environment wasn’t immersive, and the layout was difficult to navigate. Countdown Games is amazing as a business! Out of all 8 games I’ve played there, this is the only one that I would not recommend for any reason.

Gameplay

This game didn’t flow nearly as smoothly as other games at Countdown. The puzzles felt disconnected from each other and more all over the place.

Atmosphere

Unfortunately, this room didn’t feel like an actual tomb, it just felt like a decorated room. This is the only game I’ve played at Countdown Games that didn’t feel immersive (I’ve played 7 other games at this location).

Customer service

The game master was helpful when we got confused or frustrated.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

It was different, it was not super interesting.

Story

The story wasn’t very unique but it set the scene well enough.

Difficulty

Hard

This room was difficult in regards to the inefficient set up of the room, not the actual puzzles.

Game tech

High tech

I would classify all of the rooms at Countdown as high tech.

Ideal number of players

4

Sometimes it’s easiest to divide between different locations in the room.

Scary

Not scary

Minimum age

12

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this room for anyone looking into Countdown Games though, there are much better options at this location.

Was anything broken?

Yes

The website mentioned water features but there was no water when we were in the room. There were also a couple of puzzles that malfunctioned that we had to bypass.

Live actors

No

Physically active

Somewhat

There were stairs and a steep ramp/ladder in this room.

Accessibility

Not super accessible. The room layout is cramped, stairs are required, and at least one person must descend a steep ramp. There are also multiple color based puzzles in this game.

Easy to find location

Yes

Countdown Games is a large building that stands out.

Parking

Medium

There is a lot of parking but it’s a relatively busy business.

We wanted to like this one but it just didn’t meet expectations. The water feature was a dud. We’ve played others here at Countdown and enjoyed them so this is probably an outlier.

Gameplay

Not the best flow to puzzles. Many were time eaters and being linear, it was a tough time.

Atmosphere

The set was pretty good.

Customer service

We are always treated well at Countdown.

The least immersive room at countdown games. It’s just a yellow room with a few puzzles. The water effects mentioned online were not functioning when we played. The most intriguing puzzle malfunctioned on us, and the rest just weren’t that enjoyable. Nothing in this room stood out to us.

Another room that was made more difficult in a bad way by stairs, some trial and error puzzles and some tedious puzzles. Set was ok but some areas were not themed.
