About The Pharaoh’s Tomb
The Pharaoh’s Tomb is an Egyptian-themed escape room for adults that you play online together in the same room. The year is 1922, and Professor Lund’s expedition has found the unopened tomb of Pharaoh Khepsenu. The tomb is to be officially opened tomorrow, but you are his assistants, and you couldn’t wait. Now you are inside the tomb, the sand is sliding behind you, and the oil in the lamp will last one hour.
You have to find your way through the antechamber, the treasury, the Hall of the Gods and the burial chamber. Along the way you guide sunlight in with bronze mirrors, decode the pharaoh’s number signs with a torn papyrus, weigh offerings on a great scale, cross a mosaic floor whose tiles give way, and make the shadow of a shadow clock fall on the right sign. You row the sun boat, read the stars on the ceiling and put the sacred jars in the right order. Finally, everything you have found comes together in one last puzzle at the sarcophagus.
The puzzles are made for adults, and most of them can only be solved by putting together clues from several places. That makes The Pharaoh’s Tomb great for team building, the company party or a games night with friends. If you play on a TV, papyri, paintings and inscriptions are shared out on your phones, so you have to talk to each other. The help button gives three levels of hints, and the solutions are new every time.
How to play
- Gather the team round the iPad, or put the tomb on the TV and get your phones out.
- Read the professor’s notebook. It explains the pharaoh’s numbers and says that the way out leads through the burial chamber.
- Tap things in the picture to take a closer look, and switch between the chambers with the buttons at the top. Locked chambers open along the way.
- Tap a thing in the backpack and then something in the chamber to use it. Tap a thing twice to take a closer look at it.
- Collect the four amulets, find the numbers of the gods and open the sarcophagus. Tap Help if you get stuck.
