How to solve
Escape the Egyptian Tomb

What do I do first?

Examine everything. Every cyan object should be examined. In fact, you will find most objects can be examined even if it's not cyan.
Also, pick everything up that you can.

I'm stuck in the dark!

Feel around, you will find a way to get light.

I can't get out of the first room!

This is a common escape room trope; you need to trigger the door to open.

I still can't get out of the first room #1!

The mirror won't work if it's dirty.

I still can't get out of the first room #2!

You can't get the right angle with the mirror if you're the one holding it.

I still can't get out of the first room #3!

The mirror needs to be aimed at something specific.

Just tell me how to get out of the first room (complete solution)!

You need to find the mirror, clean it, put it in the statue, and point it at the Eye (not the door!).

How do I solve the wheel #1?

Relax for a bit, take a seat, maybe look around.

How do I solve the wheel #2?

The mural hidden over the throne will guide you.

The wheel turns like a combination lock.

How do I solve the wheel #4?

The figures on the mural all face alternating directions.

How do I solve the wheel #6 (complete solution)?

Starting from any position, turn the wheel left to the first figure (the woman), then turn it right to the second (the man with the headdress), then left to the green-faced figure, then right to the jackal-headed figure, then left to the man with the blue crown.

How do I get the water to flow?

It only flows when there's something in the right place to trigger it.

How do I get the water to stay flowing?

You need to find something almost as heavy as you to take your place.

How do I find something to get the water with?

Look around a bit, you may have missed something you'll need to put in their places.

I still haven't found anything to get the water with?

If you examine the pillars, you'll get some items that need to be put in their proper place. If you've done that, you should've gotten the pitcher.

I found the things, where do I put them #1?

The figurines represent servants and soldiers who serve the Pharaoh in the Afterlife. Near the throne are places that would be appropriate for them.

I found the things, where do I put them #2?

One of the displays is a battle scene, the other is a farm scene. Who would best serve where?

How do I find the combination for the coffer #1?

The hieroglyphics on the altar match the ones on the dial, but you have to do something to reveal which ones are relevant.

How do I find the combination for the coffer #2?

Once you have filled the basin with water, look at the hieroglyphics on the altar.

How do I find the combination for the coffer #3?

Look at the indicated glyphs, tally them up.

How do I find the combination for the coffer #4 (complete solution)?

Get the water, fill the basin, and examine the hieroglyphics on the altar. Count the number of each glyph in the “pyramid”. Each dial is set to the glyph that matches its count.

What do I do with the sarcophagus?

You need to find the gems first.

Why can't I get the gems to work?

There are two pieces of information you need order the gems properly - both can be found on the walls of the altar room.

How do I find the right order for the gems #1?.

The wall murals display scenes throughout the Pharaoh's history.

How do I find the right order for the gems #2?.

You need to put the scenes in chronological order to get the order for the gems.

I tried that, it still doesn't work!

The scenes show 1) the coronation of the Pharaoh (making him Pharaoh), 2) as Pharaoh, being surrounded in battle, 3) being mummified to prepare him for the Afterlife, and 4) entering the Afterlife.

How do I solve the gems (complete solution)?

Take all the gems back and then put them into the sarcophagus in the order indicated by the scenes on the wall: 1) PUT EMERALD HEAD 2) PUT SAPPHIRE RIGHT, 3) PUT RUBY CHEST, 4) PUT TOPAZ LEFT.

Solving the Puzzle Hunt Puzzle

I solved the game! Now what? None of the answers worked. Do I need to restart?

Now you have to find the hidden puzzle. You do not need to restart.

Where is the puzzle #1?

Don't be too hasty to go outside.

Where is the puzzle #2?

On the way out, look around - you should find a hidden camera and journal.

What do I do with the camera?

What do you normally do with a camera? Use the journal to guide you.

What do I need to photograph?

The diagram shows several hieroglyphics - you should have seen these around the tomb.

How many photos should I find #1?

One for every glyph on the diagram.

I can't find some of the hieroglyphics or can't focus on them #1!

You only have yourself to blame, you're the one that hid them!

I can't find some of the hieroglyphics or can't focus on them #2!

You have to remove/reset them to remove obstructions to get a clear shot of them.

I can't find some of the hieroglyphics or can't focus on them #3!

Remove the coffer from the throne to get a clear shot at the throne and the fountain. Remove the mirror from the statue to get the door to slide shut, revealing the Eye.

Where are all the hieroglyphs located (complete)?

Ankh: Fountain (without the coffer); Braid: Statue; Circle with dot: Basin; Crook: Throne (without the coffer); Cup/Bowl: Altar; Eye of Ra: Antechamber door (when shut); Half-circle: Sarcophagus; Knives: Urn; Waves: Pillar.

What do I do with these photos?

You need to find out where they are from. They are all from a certain region.

I can't find where they are from!

You can use image search, but also each image shows the URL of the site they came from.

Just tell me what they are!

These are all tombs in Egypt.

How do I use these images?

The journal told you they are a “map to guide you along the paths of the Pharaohs of old.”

More specifically, where are all these images from?

They are all tomb locations in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.

How do I interpret what I've found (what's not important)?

The names of the tombs are not important. You are not translating the tomb numbers to letters.

How do I interpret them #1?

Have you found a representation of how they are located in the real world?

How do I interpret them #2?

Take the six lines of icons on the diagram and find some connections.

I'm still not sure what to do?

Find on a map of the Valley of the Kings the locations pictured, trace a path between them in the sequences shown in the diagram. Each will give you a letter. Make sure your map's North is generally North (though tilted to the NW is slightly better).

My answer doesn't work / doesn't make sense?

Read down the left page, then down the right. The first letter is a D...
