I went with my camp group ( coed ages 11-14) and we all LOVED it. Definetly worth the time/money, in fact I would have given more! I would totally reccomend it to all ages. Have fun!
The admission fee is priced too high (20 USD). My group had 15 people and some of us did not have the chance to solve the puzzle. I think they should limit 10 people to a group. The guide was entertaining but the puzzles were too easy and short, and at some point, the sound effect was muffled. Overall, It's not worth the time and money.
My boyfriend and I, who are in our 20's, had a great time here. It's one of those things were the experience is what you make of it. It was a little pricey, but fun and challenging.

5 W!TS adventure "Tomb" is a superb way to spend 45 minutes while in Boston. At $20 a person, it's a bit on the pricey side, but this doesn't detract from what is a fabulous attraction - 5 stars!
Quite simply, you solve puzzles in an Egyptian tomb or "die". It has the whimsy and design of a Disney ride that you ...
nothing, but it can be dark at time so it isn't good for those who daon't like to be thrown into darkness. also you need to use your brain, as well as your hands. Worth every penny

rip-off

Cheesy, only for young kids. Guide hurried us thru and was impatient to get rid of our group. She herded us thru the 45 minute tour in under 30 minutes. Solved the puzzles for us. The "tomb" is really warm and smells like chlorine. Save your money.

Don't waste your money!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/17/06
I, too, thought this would be exciting and fun but it was truly a terrible waste of money.
The concept is good but the way it's done isn't too fun or exciting. The effects definitely weren't 'movie' quality. The 'challenges' aren't really challenging at all. Our group, which was 12 people, ended up finishing ...

Not at ALL exciting
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/28/06
After reading the reviews, it seemed just the type of place my 11 year old would love. It sounded like it was going to be a cross between Survivor and a game of Clue. Sadly, watching Survivor on TV was FAR more thrilling. Unlike the reviews, there were NO "Stephen Spielberg like effects". It was incredibly frustrating to spend $40 ...
