Fantastic Game
Stymied, but still working on it!
Details
For epochs, an ancient, unknown god waited to be discovered, buried under the sands of Egypt. Then, one day, with the unravelling of a mummy’s gauze, a deity’s tomb was revealed to an Egyptologist. His fate, and the fruits of his search, were unknown.
And now, buried by time and forgotten by history, the greatest treasures of an ancient civilization await discovery: riches beyond wealth and power beyond life.
Synopsis
A letter from an obscure executor of a will has only just found you, delivered with the contents of a strange bequest. Untouched for decades, the story of a lost tomb emerges from photographs, academic papers, tomb logs, and newspaper clippings. A strange knucklebone artifact and tomb markings suggest a location waiting to be discovered on an old survey map provided.
Along with the items listed above, you will receive an Egyptologist’s old papers, a strange mummy unwrapping party invitation that dates to 1914, and a clay scarab decorated with markings of great significance.
You will have to piece them together to find the tomb and learn the fate of the Egyptologist. We wish you luck on your expedition.
Audience
Hunt for the Forgotten Tomb is ideal for a family to experience together, however it is too demanding for young readers to explore on their own. Your recipient will enjoy this if they are fans of ancient Egypt, treasure-hunting, or adventure.

Stymied, but still working on it!
Still working our way through the material, but the level of detail is impressive. Seeming scraps of newspaper clippings or old letters contain subtle hints. The diary is critical, and I've read it through three times now and I'm still learning new things that will assist us in finding the location of the Forgotten Tomb. The quality of material, and originality of complex clues, is mind boggling.
Don’t know if it was completed properly. That’s the only thing wrong. Other than that this is so well made. There should be more info on the end result.
I was more excited than my significant other as he opened the mysterious package on Christmas morning! Instantly, he was fascinated as he pulled out documents and artifacts. It’s so well done and interesting to read the articles and discover all of the treasures this gift has to offer. Worth it!
Bought this for my daughter (19) who spent a few weeks at home, following surgery. At one point, she looked at the map and everything laid on the coffee table in front of the fire, and she said: "we should leave everything as is, it looks so beautiful!" And, you know what? She's right. Every detail, every piece of the puzzle has obviously been well thought out. Kudos!
