Questions, answered

Entombed in Manly: questions

Entombed or The Dunny: which suits a group better?

Pick by mood. Entombed is a detective story with Egyptian treasure in a lamplit study; The Dunny is a comic outback survival game in a locked outhouse. Both are rated 7 out of 10 at Escape This Manly, but more teams get out of Entombed (96%) than The Dunny (94%).

What is the Entombed escape room in Manly about?

Entombed casts your team as a private investigator in Cairo, hired by the widow of the vanished archaeologist Dr Smith. You search his study for proof of his death or the treasure of Khufu he was chasing, and a pharaoh’s spirit objects. You have 60 minutes at Escape This Manly.

Who is Dr Smith in Entombed?

Dr Smith is the missing archaeologist at the centre of Entombed. He disappeared while hunting the lost treasure of Khufu, left a frantic final letter, and his widow cannot claim the insurance without proof he is dead. His study is the room you are locked in.

How hard is Entombed at Escape This Manly?

Escape This rates Entombed 7 out of 10, the same as The Dunny. In practice it is kinder than the score suggests: 96% of 945 recorded Manly teams have escaped, with an average winning time of 50:56 and about 5 clues used.

Is Entombed too spooky for children?

Generally no. Entombed has a pharaoh’s curse and some dim lighting, but no smoke, crawling or tight spaces, and Escape This says it is a favourite with children’s groups. The guide age is 9; children from 7 can play as paid members of a family group with an adult in the room.

Does Entombed have its own website?

No. Entombed’s home on the web is this page on the Escape This Manly site, which carries its story, live escape rate, record times, reviews and booking. Escape This’s own site also has a booking page for each Entombed venue.
