The Tomb
The year is 1921. A band of you and five other archaeologists set forth on the most anticipated journey of your lives to locate the mythic and legendary Tomb of King TutanKhamun. A rogue wanderer provides you with a map that you collectively believe will uncover this hidden, historical gem. As you press on in your journey, you learn that the map is in fact authentic. Upon arriving at the supposed destination, you eventually make your way into the King’s tomb, only to find that leaving will be much more difficult than entering. The Gods of Egypt have granted you but one hour to leave the tomb, or you will forever be lost.

Room #9
It’s April 4th, 1978. You and your traveling partners have been forced to seek shelter at an old, rustic hotel. The only room available has been rumored to have a dark and mysterious past. The front of house staff warns you repeatedly that no one survives more than one hour in the room, but you choose to stay there anyway. Within your first minute of entering the room, you immediately feel regret for ignoring the staff’s advice. You now have 60 minutes to escape before room #9 consumes your very existence.

Mystery Tap Takeovers
The year is 1922. A large party has gathered at a speakeasy to celebrate the birthday of Alistair Merrifield, a well-known businessman who specializes in selling exotic items to wealthy buyers. As the clock strikes 11pm a scream rips through the festive atmosphere and sends the crowd running to a seldom-used back room where they find the body of Alistair Merrifield dead on the floor. Initially it looks to be a morphine overdose, but as the investigation goes deeper, police soon realize that there is more afoot than anyone initially suspected!
