Uncover the Riddles of Amun-Ra — Hieroglyphs, Pyramids & Desert Adventures
What is an Egyptian treasure hunt?
An Egyptian treasure hunt is a story-based scavenger hunt where kids follow an ancient map, solve hieroglyph puzzles, and complete themed challenges to uncover a final “pharaoh’s treasure.” It’s perfect for birthdays, classrooms, and family game nights.
With an ancient treasure map in hand, young explorers set off into a world of pyramids, secret symbols, and lost knowledge.
Guided by mythical guardians like Ra, the Eye of Horus, and the scarab, children decode clues, solve riddles, and reveal the secret of Amun-Ra — one station at a time.

🔊 How do the audio files work?
The audio files come in standard .mp3 format. You can play them with any normal music player on a phone or tablet – no extra app or special software needed. Just download and press play.
2. What is the best way to play them during the scavenger hunt?
The easiest option is to download the files before the hunt starts, so you don't rely on mobile internet outdoors.
For larger groups or outdoor play, a small Bluetooth speaker helps all children hear the story clearly. The files are numbered, so you can play them in the correct order – matching each station.
3. Are they just simple read-aloud audios?
No 🙂 The audio files are designed to be narrative and lively, so the kids feel like they are inside the story. The messages are not just read aloud – they sound like small audio-drama moments at each station. This boosts attention and keeps everyone deeply engaged.

Bought this for my daughter’s Egyptian mythology phase (she’s 9 and currently obsessed lol). She loved the theme and the clues were clever! Docking one star only because a couple clues were a little hard to hide in our apartment layout, but that’s more of a me problem than the product. Overall really fun and definitely worth the price.
Tobias Fendel –
A wonderful journey through time! The kids were so immersed in the story of ancient Egypt that even we adults ended up solving the riddles with them. Especially lovely: Everything is beautifully designed and explained in a child-friendly way. An absolute recommendation
Petra, Nina & Patrick –
We tested the Egypt version with a group of 10- to 12-year-olds – and they were absolutely fascinated! The hieroglyph puzzle was a huge hit. High-quality and educational at the same time
