The guide stays with you the whole time which is lame and makes it to easy. Went on spring break with a friend we are both 20. There is another escape room in the plaza I would try that one before this. Also, very short. read more

This was so much fun!!!! We were a family of 6, with 3 adults and 3 kids (11, 8 and 5) who all had a great time. The 5 year old was scared during some of the lights out portions of the game, but afterwards said The Tomb was her favorite part of our trip. The 11 year old was super engaged and all 6 of us got to play a part in solving the puzzles to get through the levels of this Indiana Jones inspired riddle course. Definitely worth the price and way more fun than expected. read more

Tomb - Playing Indiana Jones as we wait to enter! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Website says you get to go in every 15 minutes. But when we walked up to get tickets we were told you have to schedule a time to enter. We were told we couldn't go in until an hour and a half later. This is disappointing as none of their information says this. Yes, I understand that schedules get busy and they sell out. So, be sure to call ahead and see what the wait times are. Especially during the busy season and Gatlinburg. But overall I would say it is a great experience for young kids. My children are eight and 11 and I have been begging to play a breakout/strategy type game. This is exactly that-a breakout/strategy game for kids. If you have young ones the first stage is a little frightening. Flashing lights and it goes completely dark at times with loud talking from the "pharaoh." Kids have to work together to solve puzzles in three separate rooms in order to complete the task and open the exit doors. My kids haven't stopped talking about it! read more

Tomb - Front lobby. - Amusement Parks Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

I have a confession to make: I hate escape rooms. HATE THEM. I'd driven past this building for years, intrigued by the pyramid on the roof, but unwilling to put myself through the traumatizing escape room experience for the sake of a quick thrill. I'm so glad I got past that and took a chance! My friends and I decided to make Tomb part of my bachelorette party weekend in the Smokies. We went on a rainy Sunday afternoon, and even though I'd been told on the phone that we would have no more than a 15 minute wait, we were told we would have 45 minutes before our tour departed. Once we got past that initial frustration, we enjoyed the tour! There were 6 in our group, so we were large enough to go through without being paired with another party. Our tour guide was pleasant, but I had trouble hearing him at times. We enjoyed the intricate details of each challenge, the elaborately decorated rooms, and the absence of ticking clocks and stressful ambiences that most escape room attractions have. For the price we paid ($15 per person), this was a great value! I don't have to go again, but I would definitely recommend a visit to Tomb! read more

A unique experience that I am glad I got to have. There are only 3 rooms to work through and the guide will give you hints when you get lost. I think there are variations if you fail (like easier puzzles maybe?) but otherwise it's the same. Also the guide gives hints if you're crazy lost. It's definitely too short but I still enjoyed it. read more

This was my first experience in an Escape Room. My new wife and I were paired with another couple and their son, who appeared to have some sort of autism maybe?? He was insanely smart, and great at the came...We let him do most of the work on the puzzles as he was obviously very excited about being there and participating. What I did not care for, was the "guide" that followed with us to push us in the right direction at times, seemed a little too eager to get us through at times. Now, I get it... you have another group coming up behind us. But maybe you should plan a little better, as we were not that delayed at any point, in my opinion, as we were all pretty on top of things. Over all, we had a great experience and was fun watching the others have such a good time as well. read more

This place has great potential for a large group to have some serious fun. We had a group of 10. It was a challenge and some good fun figuring it out. The only draw back was our guide. They gave too many hints and made it easier than it needed to be and we lost some fun figuring it out. read more

While driving around Pigeon Forge on vacation my boyfriend and I spotted an awesome pyramid shaped building and stopped to see what it was. Turns out it's an Egyptian themed amusement. It is priced very cheaply for Pigeon Forge at $12 per adult so we decided to return the next day and go though it. We had a group of 4 adults and one small child. They put us with 2 other groups so we totaled around 12-14. I feel it would have been better with a smaller group so they only rate 4 stars. The object of the attraction is to solve puzzles and make it out of the tomb "alive". It offers hands on activities and group involvement. Unfortunately our group wasn't too big on the work together thing. If you don't like interacting with others or can't work in a group this isn't for you. Our guide was great and really tried to get everyone to participate. He payed extra attention to those of us that did. It was lots of fun and very different. It takes around 45 minuets to go though and groups start at 15 minute intervals. It's a bit cheesy but super fun and worth every cent. read more

It was a welcome distraction on a chilly day. Our guide, Professor Hunter, was really in character for just my daughter and I. The puzzles are pretty neat, but I am afraid this is a once and done attraction. I wish I knew how they got the flashlights to go out on cue. read more

I genuinely enjoyed The Tomb! In fact, I left surprised at how much fun I had, to be honest! Walking in a few years ago, I expected "cheesy road-side attraction" - but hey, I had some time to kill. The attention to detail, quality of scenic and effects was fantastic. Theme park quality production. Though I didn't realize it at the time, The Tomb was my first taste of an escape room type attraction - something I've grown to love and have since visited 50 around the country and counting.For someone walking in not knowing a thing about the escape genre - the experience here was perfect. Thought provoking and challenging without being frustrating. I'm eager to see more of what 5w!ts has created after visiting this version. I highly recommend The Tomb - especially in a town with a lot of hokey attractions to see, this one truly shines as innovative with great technology, great atmosphere and a great staff! read more

Not an escape room by any stretch of the imagination. This was a complete let down. The guide stayed with us and was yelling annoying comments over the mummy soundtrack and "acting"...it was awful on an epic level. He leads you from room to room and can't stop himself from telling you how to solve the puzzles. It was beyond awful. And at the end he tried to tell us they weren't an escape room, which is interesting because that's how they categorized themselves. Spend your money elsewhere. I just wanted out. Even the littles with us declared it boring. read more

Three adults in my group and we all had fun. This is a slightly different version of Escape Room or Breakout. You have to solve clues to escape each room and enter the next room. There is a guide with you throughout your journey helping you along when you get stuck. There are several special effects and problem solving games that the group must work together to solve. There are a total of 4 rooms with clues to solve in each. Good Luck! read more

Save your money for something else. It is labeled an escape game, but your "guides" stay with you the whole time. Almost all of the effects were delayed in some way or another, and it's more of a dumb mystery experience than actually trying to escape with clues. Overall, if I could give it 0 stars, I would read more

We had so much fun in this game. As parents, we tried to get the kids to really focus and use problem solving skills to help each other figure it all out. We intentionally sought to stand back, but we found ourselves enjoyably helping out. This one is definitely good for younger kids, ours are 11 and 13, if you get the "thriller" of it out the way, you'll actually find yourself quite successful. They were even nice enough to give us a player discount as a birthday gesture to our 13YO. read more

This would have been better if the tour guide weren't boring. We had a good group willing to work together. It was only 3 rooms which seemed short, but in reality it took 45 minutes. The puzzles are fun if everyone cooperates. We had about an 8 year old in our group who got a little freaked because it's kind of dark and scary, but once she got into the puzzles she did fine. read more

Tomb - Tomb Complex - Amusement Parks Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

The Tomb is a Fun, unique activity for a family to enjoy all together. We were paired with another family which was not bad but it limited the amount of "puzzle solving" we were able to do on our own. Our guide was friendly and seemed to enjoy his job. All in all it's worth a visit if you need a fun indoor activity everyone will enjoy. read more

Very highly recommended! Group of 2 adults and 3 kids had a blast! Tour guide kept us laughing the whole time and provided just the right amount of clues. Very affordable and well worth the 45 minutes to an hour to complete. read more

Not impressed but still had a little fun. My first escape game and I wouldn't consider it an escape game. Meant for families and children. More like a guided tour with puzzles and bad props. The guide helped us far too much without us asking for the help. Most of the time is spent listening to some cheesy story. We had a group of 9 and the puzzles were too small and basic so most people just stood around. I can't wait to try a legitimate escape game! read more

Only 3 rooms inside to solve puzzles. Not impressed even with the low price of $13 per person. Lasted 45 minutes so not bad if you are looking to burn time. read more

My boys and I love escape rooms and have been to a few. This one is delightfully different. I enjoyed the puzzle solving and putting our heads together and working as a team. Having the guide with us helped when we were moving in the wrong direction. Really fun! read more

This place is just a big rip off if your IQ is larger than your shoe size. $60 for tickets and you finish the whole thing within 15 minutes. Save your money and time. read more

This escape room sucked. The guide stays with you the entire time and all the "challenges" were more like puzzles there was no finding things or collecting items to contribute to the decision making. It took my group about 15 minutes to finish all the rooms. Don't waste your money coming here. read more

I was really impressed with this. It was a great value for the price. No, it is not full of brain-busting puzzle solving, so much as very elaborately themed puzzles that the whole family can work together to solve. I love that the kids could feel like they were helping, but it was still just challenging enough for the adults to enjoy. The special effects and environment were exciting and immersive. The darkness and the booming voice definitely scared the 3 and 4 year olds we had with us, but the 6 and 7 year olds loved it. Our guide wasn't super charismatic but he was helpful at least. He would give us hints only when we started to veer off course, which probably ended up saving us some time and frustration with over-analyzing things that didn't matter. I've been in other escape rooms where my group has easily wasted 20 minutes focusing on the wrong thing. I thought this was better than your standard escape room because it was so much more immersive, and filled with some spooky surprises. :) Great for families. read more

Great activity...even for the kids! At first, they were a little bit scared when the lights went out, but so was I. The story line is great! The puzzles were challenging and very interactive! The guide was helpful and funny! This is a great activity for families to work together! Highly recommend. It lasted about 45 minutes. One last thing - there are no restrooms at the exhibit, but there are some located within the strip mall. read more

I am not sure how this place is still in business! Not sure if the other people who reviewed it were fully awake after the truly mind numbing experience or maybe just delusional from the fact they just wasted all that money and time. read more

For under 15 bucks, you get 45 minutes of silly fun and a little brain exercise. Our leader was really into the tour and helped make it the best experience it could have been. He had a way of leading you to the solutions without giving anything away. We had a group of 6 and that made for just the right amount of people it seemed. Our group was fun and everyone was into it. Like most things in Pigeon Forge, if you're into it, the activity will be fun and worth while like this one. read more

This is NOT an escape room. This is maybe good for children under 12. Do not waste your money, if you think this is a good deal. It is awful. read more

Fun fun!! Kids were a tad scared in the beginning, but we all ended up having a blast solving all the puzzles!

Markets themselves as an escape room but they are anything but. This a walk through "tour" of an old tomb with puzzles that you are basically told how to do. This isn't fun for anyone over the age of 5. read more

If you are looking for a true escape room that is scary/challenging, this is not the place for you. My son had been clamoring to do an "escape room" for a couple of months, but we had a hard time finding one that he could truly participate in. This is exactly what we were looking for as this is clearly meant as a family friendly alternative. Yes, the guide stays with you the whole time and does occasionally give hints to keep the game moving and get you to the next room, but it was still enjoyable. If you have really young kids, some parts could be scary as the rooms are dark (sometimes the lights even go out...intentionally) and the "Pharoah" is trying to keep you in. We (family of 3) got paired with another family of 3 and the child in that group (about 6 or 7 yrs old) got scared and asked to be removed. If you go into understanding what it is and who it is meant for, you will have a good time. read more

This was fun. We expecting something kinda cheesy but it was actually pretty cool. 3 puzzle rooms, teamwork involved on all. Took around 40 mins. Watch where u step! read more

The tomb was a great date experience for my boyfriend and I. We were paired with another group and we spent about 40 minutes inside the tomb. It was very well decorated, the tour guide was fun, and the puzzles were entertaining. The concept was different from the escape games so that was a nice unexpected twist. I would recommend it to all those couples out there that want to do something different for date night! read more

My wife and our eight year old daughter went to this place. We were put with two other groups, one of which ruined the experience for me. The idea behind the place is to solve puzzles as a group to achieve certain goals and escape the tomb that you get trapped in by the Spirit of the pharoah. Again we would have enjoyed ourselves more if one family in our group had not dominated the puzzle solving. If our lives depended on these people we all would have died at the pharaohs hand. My recommendation is to have smaller groups and be more selective of who people a grouped with. read more

Our family had a great time but it would have been better if it was just our family. We were with another group who were very young kids and couldn't work puzzeles well. This really is a one hit wonder as the next time you would know how to do all the puzzles. For tickets check around the area and you can probably get it at a discount. read more

The system crashed a lot and missed many puzzles Because of it and was not given a refund at all and the guide laughed and said something else not related to that also got to the point where we were standing around in a room for a solid 12 minutes because the system crashed, and the our guide left for 5 minutes to fix the system while we were just sitting there for 12 MINUTES NOT DOING ANYTHING!!! Don't GO HERE EVER read more

Terrible. Horrid. Complete waste of money. Old, dirty and NOT an escape room. More like a guided tour but with a few crappy props from the 80's. Pass on this. Don't waste your money. read more

This was so lame. The "guide" told people exactly what to do the entire way through the rooms. This was not an escape room, it was a guided tour. Not for adults. 10 and under. No critical thinking skills necessary. read more

Our adventure was about 45 minutes long. I was a little hesitant after reading reviews, but my family lucked out. It was just the 3 of us; my 13 year old brother, myself (23) and my dad. Since we were a small group, we were able to do all the activities. The guide was alright, he talked a little too much at times (gave away answers) and I could tell some of the puzzles experience some technical difficulties (the puzzle would be complete and the guide would say wiggle it a bit or push a little more) I worked at a puzzle adventure exhibit sort of along the lines of this, so the acting could have been a little more polished, but that's just nit picky ;) the theatrics were fun and the puzzles were just entertaining enough. I don't think we would have had as fun of an experience if there was another group. It's marketed as fun for all ages, but it gets pitch black at times and is dim the entire time. There's also loud music and voices. Ages 6 and up would probably be the best age range. read more

Fun activity for the entire family. My oldest was so excited and it did not disappoint. The puzzles weren't too difficult and it was a great activity that all the family could participate in. As far as price goes, it was relatively cheap and would absolutely do it again. read more

It was a neat experience and the puzzles were cool but the "tour guide" was awful. My group of five basically paid 15 dollars each to get yelled at. If we did something wrong or couldn't get it the first time she would get frustrated with us. She would just sit there sighing and checking the time. I understand it would get boring dealing with that everyday, but then again it's her job and she was very unprofessional. read more
