This was fun game, similar to their other games, and, as always, this was good value for money
This was a fun game, although we did have a technical glitch that held us up and we had to wait for someone to fix it. Overall a good game, although rather short.
After a very punny intro, you stand in a room with a sarcophagus. Lots of great puzzles around.
This is a special game because you get a character to play. There are six characters so in our case being only two people playing we got 3 characters each. With each character you get a tabletop - a kind of personal inventory. Some things end up with you when found and you then have to analyze them. You of course decide yourself how much collaboration you want - with two players it might be easier to just play all characters both of you.
We really liked most of the puzzles and loved the decor. The experience was a bit short for us, but also prized low, so we are not unhappy.
One time there was a creepy feeling - but you are puzzling with a dead pharaoh, so that shouldn't be a surprise.
We loved how the tech supported the puzzle solving, like in a specific translation puzzle. The telescape platform was a great choice for this.
Didn't enjoy this one as much as their other two games - more of a box puzzle, and some very obvious leading from the avatar so you didn't always need to do much to solve puzzles. Nice theme, good videos
HourGlass continues to be my favourite online rooms so far.... Seph.. I mean Shep is such a cool Host/character to guide an Zoom experience! The inventory system allocates roles, which scared me, but all players can see each role and get involved.
I really enjoyed thisgame and was especially glad of Shep's help when i needed it most!

Rise of the Mad Pharaoh brought the digital game category to another level for us. The funny puns in the intro and end video (narrated by Yuri Lowenthal, the voice of Peter Parker and Spiderman), the user friendly interface, the cooperative element in puzzle design really made this game stand out from the rest. For the price, I would recommend this game in a heart beat. Are you ready to embark on this adventure?
You and a team of 6 intrepid explorers find yourself in a mysterious room in the Seattle Archaeological Antiquities division. In the centre of the room a sarcophagus… Locked! Of course.
Rise of the Mad Pharaoh is the latest game by Seattle’s Hourglass Escapes to be converted for avatar play. They’re perhaps best known for their Evil Dead 2 game, and as you might guess from the title this one shares a certain B-movie tone to its story, gleefully hamming it up with tongue firmly in cheek.
This game is particularly distinctive for its role-play system; I believe the venue’s other two avatar games use similar ideas but not to the extent Mad Pharaoh does. Players have a choice of s...
This game was a lot of fun and the few issues I had have likely been resolved. (They have since moved to a larger space, and have multiple versions of the game depending on your team size.) I would definitely recommend it, if for no other reason than to check out that amazing sarcophagus centerpiece. They are also offering a remote version of the game, so now might be a great time to try it, especially if you’re not in the Seattle area.
