The story

The study in the sand

Dr Smith went into the desert after Pharaoh Khufu’s lost treasure and never came back. His study is still standing, his papers still on the desk.

Your team has one hour among his notes, maps and relics to learn what he found, and to get out before the pharaoh he disturbed makes the place its tomb.

Yesterday I took my 2 grandson 7 and 9 to Entombed.They loved it and I’m told the 9 yr old in particular still buzzing today from the experience of solving the puzzles. I found it quite a fascinating experience. It won’t be our last time. A shout out to our Escape guide Caitlyn who was delightful and welcoming.

Age rules

Recommended 9+

  • Manly’s Entombed is pitched at ages 9 and up; children from 7 may play as paying members of a family group.
  • Children aged 9 or younger need a parent or guardian in the study with them, booked as a player.
  • When the youngest player is 10 to 13, an adult stays at the venue during the session but need not play.
  • A group of 14-year-olds and older can come without any adult on site.
  • Babies under 3 may sit in with a parent free of charge at the team’s discretion; they still use one of the six places.
Accessibility & safety

Not wheelchair accessible

Manly’s Entombed is not wheelchair accessible. There is no crawling and nothing cramped or confined in the study, so it suits pregnant players and anyone who dislikes tight spaces.

  • Each chamber hides a panic button; one press brings a gamesmaster to the door immediately.
  • Cameras follow the whole hour, so help is never far away.
  • Anyone arriving drunk or high stays above ground: the tomb is sober territory.

FAQ

Entombed, Manly: questions

Which door leads down to Entombed in Manly?

Entombed is at Escape This Manly, 2B The Corso, Manly NSW 2095. Walk up The Corso from Manly Wharf towards the beach; number 2B is near the wharf end, with cafes, restaurants and hotels on every side.

Who is the missing archaeologist in Entombed?

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.

Why does the Manly version of Entombed mention a widow and an insurance payout?

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.

How hard is it to lift Khufu’s curse in Entombed?

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.

How big can an Entombed expedition party be?

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.

Can younger children play Entombed in Manly?

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.

Can Entombed’s tomb be reached by wheelchair?

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.

How long has Entombed been in Manly?

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 Manly venue and its rooms →

What changes between the Manly and Perth Entombed rooms?

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.

Why do so many Manly teams escape Entombed?

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.
