    Listen and trust me. Do NOT waste your money or time going there if you're not under the age of 8. When you walk in not only does it look like some high school stage crew set up the place, they have a tent where you see AND hear the whole part of the "show" before its even your turn to go. 3 tacky rooms with tacky "decorations" inside. I was actually looking forward to going there. I love egyptian stuff but you're better off waiting for the science museum to have some kind of exhibit. When I went there was also kids in the group who had done TOMB before and they pretty much ruined the whole thing b/c they knew what to do for everything. 20+ bucks wasted and the gas to drive in. DO NOT GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I would not recommend this attraction unless you have already paid for a Go Boston card. It is really overpriced. They take you in groups ...

    It was the biggest waste of time and money that I had every put my family through. It was pathetic, cheesy, rigged, just 3 rooms leading to gift shop. I learned that you can get ripped off easily here in Boston! DON'T GO

    In Short Located in the Fenway, 5W!TS is an entertainment venue that provides adventurers of all ages with a unique, multimedia experience. Currently showing "TOMB," a 40-minute adventure that takes place in ancient Egypt, 5W!TS puts visitors in the middle of a live "video game reality." The experience has been likened to a combination of a theme park ride, haunted house and choose-your-own-adventure book.

    I went in with a bunch of friends on a whim since we were in the area and had never been. So much fun! Our guide was really fun and into it, and really hammed it up for our group. The puzzles were fun and all the different rooms were really cool. This was a great alternative to the same old bar scene in the fenway area. If you're looking for something different to do i highly reccomend.

    Not sure about these other reviewers but my group had a blast. My group was a mix of 20 somethings, a family from Tennessee, and a father and son from NJ. We all had a blast solving the neat puzzles, laughing at the corny jokes, and indulging our inner archaeologist. Very unique and a great way to do something different on the weekend.

    Hello all, I have a family of 5 and we paid $92.00 to go and see what we thought would be fun! What a joke! Low budget junk show! I would not recomend! I never mind paying the price when something is worth it, But in the case of 5 witts tomb: I have never felt so RIPPED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I only hope the owners of this place reads this! you scam artist!!!!!!!!!!! (If you like wasting money or if you just simply have too much,then by all means go.....................!)

    Boston has so much more to offer than this cheesy overpriced attraction. Don't let the ad hype fool you, if you have ever been anywhere or done anything this place will bore you. It is a terrific waste of money and time for anyone over 7 years of age. You will have a better time just strolling around anywhere- even in a blizzard or rain storm.

    This is great for folks with kiddies, not sure singles would get as much out of it for the price. The sony store in NYC is free and you can play with everything, for that matter so is stuff at the Sharper Image or Hammacher Schlemmer. If you have kids, it would be a great way for them to release that excess energy if you have been dragging them around all day to places where expected them to be quiet and at their best behavior.

    This is a good idea. But the reviews (internet and newspaper) do not really reflect what the show is about. Do not expect any super-state of the art things; just a few puzzles, and boomm, you are in an out quickly, and 20 dollars short. I think children might appreciate this, but it is NOT something for adults. It is really boring (and expensive!)

    I have to say, after reading reviews on other sites and some of the reviews here, I was dissapointed. You start out in a field tent with your guide and proceed to listen to a cheesy loud speaker phone conversation between your guide and a professor from England (who is prerecorded) The first room was actually the only bad part of the inside of the Tomb. It is slow, easy and very dragged out. The second and third rooms have some puzzles that are very interesting and involve some teamwork that make it a good experience. One puzzle, which involves moving large, double-sided pannels into their correct locations on a circular design on the floor to get images to their correct locations makes you feel as if youare in an episode of survivor. It is fun, but only for parents and their children.

    Hello friends! The tomb is an awesome experience like no other in boston. We stopped by on after seeing an ad and were surpirsed by the attraction. It was great for kids because the challenges were within their reach. Plus it was a great vaule for under twenty dollars per person we had over forty five minutes of great fun.

    This is a unique experience that has a broad appeal. I'll be going back with a group of friends to check it out again. It's full of surprises!

    5 Wits, Inc.'s TOMB is the ultimate interactive adventure. Part video game, part adventure movie, and part theme park show, each adventure puts you in the role of the hero, charged with deciphering Pharoah's riddles if you hope to make it out alive. Groups of 5 to 15 "archaeologists" must work together to solve puzzles and appease Pharoah... or risk his wrath...
