About the Game

Mummy's Message is a 3—5 hour interactive game that educates students about the history of ancient Egyptian civilization.  For teachers, this game is the answer to sparking the interest in students.  For students, retaining the facts and customs associated with Egyptian history will seem like a snap!  Put simply, your students will look forward to class because it becomes fun to learn!

Mummy's Message can compliment an existing curriculum, or it can become a curriculum in and of itself.  A teacher's curriculum guide with student objectives provides a detailed outline for lesson plans.

Both teams will need to successfully travel through the following Chambers:
