The start of the exploring was a little uneasy as you’re still trying to get adjusted to walking around blind but you quickly get lost into the Egyptian landscape presented in the virtual world. The story started with meeting a tour guide who would take your group on a tour of the Great Pyramid of Giza as it was more than 4500 years ago. Getting to see it from the ground and then going up and even within, it was great for someone like myself who has never explored it in real life. For those who have been, you get to discover areas like the Queen’s Chamber and other areas which are usually hard to access or out of bounds for tourists. 

Whilst educational, the journey does have a very strong story element with a magical cat guiding you through the second half as things start to go wrong. This keeps everything a little more interesting. Being able to freely explore the areas and walk around large areas in each scene allowed for you to be kept engaged and see it from different viewpoints. 

The experience as a whole was pretty cool as we had not done exploration quite like it in an education way. The limits this could create for other wonders of the world and other interesting parts of the world, give an endless opportunity to explore. The VR works flawlessly and is some of the best we have seen in recent times. 

A huge thank you to the team for inviting us to come explore, providing us 3 free tickets to enjoy Horizon of Khufu. Tickets are available up until June at present and we hope to see it extend and adapt moving forwards.
