Entombed at a glance
Something else: Entombed is a 60-minute ancient Egypt adventure, designed and built by Escape This, rather than a horror room. Your team is locked in the desert study of Dr Smith, an archaeologist who vanished chasing Pharaoh Khufu’s treasure, and must find what he found before his pharaoh finds you. It plays at Escape This Manly and Escape This Perth CBD, and its sequel, Lost Tomb, plays in Perth.
Yes. Khufu ruled Egypt in the Fourth Dynasty, around 4,500 years ago, and the Great Pyramid of Giza was built as his tomb. Entombed borrows his name and the legend of a curse on anyone who disturbs a royal burial; the archaeologist, his study and the treasure hunt are Escape This’s own invention.
Lost Tomb, the second room in the Entombed series, opened at Escape This Perth CBD on 19 March 2026, according to Escape This’s booking system. It joined the Perth Entombed, which has played under Hay Street Mall since May 2024.
Yes. Lost Tomb’s game began as The Temple at Chambers Escape Games in Honolulu, Hawaii. As The Temple it won Escape the Roomers’ 2019 Bullseye Award for Best Overall and a Best of Morty award in 2024, and was nominated for TERPECA in 2021. Escape This then re-themed it as the Entombed sequel and relaunched it in Perth, so those honours belong to The Temple’s run.
Perth’s Entombed and Lost Tomb share one price list: $49 per adult and $39 per child under 16 Monday to Thursday, rising to $65 and $55 Friday to Sunday. Entombed in Manly is listed at $59 per adult and $49 per child, though some sessions show from $39 when booking. Holidays are priced separately.
Entombed takes two to six in Manly and two to eight in Perth, where Saturday sessions need at least four. Lost Tomb needs four to eight at weekends, and takes pairs and trios only on certain days and times shown in its live availability. Groups beyond the limit book a second room.
In two places. Entombed plays at Escape This Manly, 2B The Corso in Sydney’s Manly, and at Escape This Perth CBD, The Basement, 712–720 Hay Street Mall. Its sequel, Lost Tomb, is in the same Perth CBD venue. It is not at Northbridge, Sydney CBD or Melbourne.
Not that Escape This has announced. An older Entombed website promised Sydney CBD and Melbourne, but Escape This’s booking system lists Entombed only at Manly and Perth CBD, and Lost Tomb only at Perth CBD. Escape This’s national guide lists every room by city.
