The Lost Pharaoh's Tomb – Printable Escape Room Game

What you get

A desert valley. This morning the wind uncovered a stone stair – and at the bottom, a door with no name: the tomb of the Lost Pharaoh, a king whose name was chiselled off every wall in the land. In 75 minutes a sandstorm will bury the stair again. Can your team speak the king's name before the torches go out?

8 original puzzles: a cipher wheel with an invented sign script, a rotating sky disc, a scarab colour-sequence logic puzzle, a weighing-of-the-heart balance puzzle, a night river-crossing puzzle, a royal cartouche, a 12-piece papyrus jigsaw and a final 4-sign door.
