The experience

Hands pressed against the fake stone wall, I could feel my heart thumping louder than the ticking clock overhead. Someone (I think it was Jamie) fumbled with a carved puzzle piece while our guide, smiling just outside the door, called out, “You’ve got this!” The air inside the Forbidden Tomb escape room felt cool and a little dusty, like an old library. We’d all laughed at how serious we suddenly got once that heavy door clicked shut behind us. It’s funny how quickly you forget you’re in Panama City Beach and not somewhere deep underground.

I didn’t expect to get so caught up in the story. There were moments when we’d just stop and listen, was that a clue or just the air conditioning? At one point, I tried reading some hieroglyphics out loud (bad idea), and my brother nearly snorted water through his nose. The puzzles were tricky but not impossible. Teamwork actually mattered more than I thought. Our local host popped in once to drop off bottled water (bless), then left us to argue about whether the next step was pushing a statue or searching under rugs. Turns out, both.

When we finally cracked the last code, with maybe four minutes left, there was this weird mix of relief and pride. We spilled back into the lobby still talking over each other about who solved what. The staff handed us props for photos, which felt cheesy at first but honestly made for some hilarious memories later. Even now, I catch myself thinking about that tense silence before we escaped, everyone holding their breath together for just a second longer than needed.
