Immersion

As soon as you enter and the door shuts everything fits the themes, the floor walls ceiling decorations painting all fit ancient Egypt.

Sound effects were good, there was a light Egyptian music playing in the background and certain puzzles provided additional sound effects. I think some additional sound effect would help out better.

5: How easy was it to keep track of your remaining time?	8.8
This was a little bit difficult to grade. There was no count down timer in the initial rooms. We did ask for a time check on the walkie talkie and Josh provided us the remaining time….there is a certain point later on that does have a countdown timer…which fit that area. …perhaps a sand hourglass could be useful?
