Dr Smith, a celebrated archaeologist whose whole career bent towards one find: the lost treasure of Pharaoh Khufu. In Entombed he has been missing for months and is presumed dead. His last letter boasted he was close, and his abandoned study, the room you play in, is full of what he left behind.
Because Escape This Manly frames Entombed as a private-eye job. Your team are investigators working out of Cairo, paid a deposit by Dr Smith’s widow: with no body she cannot claim his life insurance. Proof of death or Khufu’s treasure will settle the bill. The Perth build drops the hired-gun angle and simply traps you in the study.
Entombed carries a 7 out of 10 rating from Escape This. Most clues are in plain sight; working out what they mean is the hard part. Teams with an escape room behind them suit it best, but newcomers who like a challenge do well too, and the gamesmaster sends a hint whenever you ask for one.
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.
Yes. Manly is the Entombed for families with younger children: 9 and up is the guide, 7 is the minimum as a paying player, and anyone 9 or under needs a parent or guardian playing alongside. If the youngest is 10 to 13, an adult waits at the venue instead.
In Perth, yes; in Manly, no. Perth’s Entombed and Lost Tomb each take one wheelchair per session, with a few puzzles harder to reach from a chair. Manly’s Entombed is not wheelchair accessible, so a group with a wheelchair user should book the Perth rooms.
Since before it was Escape This Manly. Entombed was part of Room Eight, the independent Manly venue that opened in 2019. Escape This bought Room Eight in 2022, completed the rebrand to Escape This Manly in 2024 and refurbished every Manly room, Entombed included, in the summer of 2025.

The story is shared; the rules are not. Manly’s Entombed takes 2 to 6 players with a 9+ guide, has no crawling and isn’t wheelchair accessible. Perth’s takes 2 to 8, is strictly 13+, has a skippable crawl space and takes a wheelchair. Each keeps its own leaderboard.
The records don’t say why, but the gap is large: 87% of Manly teams beat Entombed against 44% in Perth. The Manly build is a different, smaller room for up to six players, with its own puzzle flow, so the two Entombed scores are best read separately.
