Escape Hour Austin: The Crypt

The past is shrouded in endless mystery. Even when one thinks they have all the information they can gather, there will always exist an outlier. Some missing piece to the grand puzzle. A prime example of this would be the story of Pedro de Alvarado and Hernan Cortez, who, despite their fame, had many secrets of their own: including the obscure legend of the Crypt, and the ancient mysteries that lie within.

Somewhere deep within the rainforest, there exists a hidden tomb, sought fervently by explorers, archaeologists, and historians alike. What little is known about the crypt hints that there is a trove of knowledge and gold alike: and, depending on how much faith you place into the legends, the legendary Fountain of Youth, the secret to immortality.

It should come as no surprise that something as precious as eternal life would be heavily guarded. What lies in wait within the depths of this forgotten place is anyone’s guess, but perhaps it would be safe to assume danger around every corner. A good explorer should always stay on their toes and be ready to think quickly: the past scarcely waits on the future.

Researchers from all nationalities have tried putting together the pieces that lead to these ruins for centuries, but have only recently managed to pinpoint it’s location. But whether they were the first to discover it remains to be seen. What is known is that you have been chosen to delve into this crypt and discover whether or not legends are a gross exaggeration or a truth worth risking your life for.
