Tomb
186 Brookline Ave
Boston, MA 02115

Tomb is sort of like a haunted house meets the Indiana Jones stunt show at MGM. Archaeologists, that’s you, have unearthed the entrance to Pharaoh’s long lost tomb right here in Boston! The group, led by hilarious Tomb employees/amateur thespians, must penetrate the tomb door, solve mind-bending puzzles and move through the inside of this elaborately constructed crypt. There are 4 rooms in all, counting the outside of the tomb, and the task of getting through is not to be taken lightly.

The guides are there to mainly supervise you and explain what your little adventure is all about. While they may lend some helpful suggestions to the group, they are not afraid to let the expedition fail and all of you “die.” So, as they say, keep your wits about you! I have done tomb 3 times and my group has never failed. Therefore, my friends and family are either all geniuses, or the guides help more than they let on. I think the latter…

The entire tour takes roughly 45-60 minutes, but weekend “shows” sell out rather quickly. I would suggest calling ahead or going in early in the morning and picking the show of your choice for later in the day. And HURRY! With the new Trilogy condo complex opening up next door, and expanding rapidly, I think tomb will be gone by the fall!

Not to fret though, once this 5-Wits production of tour is over, a newly themed and similar style adventure will open somewhere else in the city!
