Tomb of the emperor – Exit

Played on July 11th 2020 by:

This escape room was the first one that we’ve done during the Covid Pandemic. We knew it would be a slightly different experience but I don’t think it made a huge difference for the immersion and fun we had. 

In this scenario, we decided to investigate the findings of a Japanese fisherman. He found an old chest with chinese characters on it and a journal. We think that it could be related to the secret of the elixir of immortality created by a wise emperor thousands years ago. I like the originality of the story and I think it’s really well thought and detailed.

We were not really impressed with the decors this time. It was very unequal as some things looked great but some other things looked a bit unfinished and rough. Also, there wasn’t any introduction story before starting the room. So it wasn’t the best immersion we’ve had.

The puzzles were mostly manipulation ones without much logic in them. We tend to overthink, especially if things don’t seem to have any logic into them which is the case here. But the last puzzle was great, it was much more complex than the ones from the first room. And since there wasn’t that many puzzles to solve, we think this room is better suited for smaller groups.

This escape room left us more frustrated than anything else as we aren’t fan of manipulation puzzles. I wouldn’t recommend this one as there’s not enough puzzle and variety.  We didn’t escape and we didn’t really like it.
