This treasure hunt turns the living room or the whole house into an excavation site: Le tombeau disparu takes young explorers to ancient Egypt. A professor has found the entrance to a tomb thousands of years old and needs help tracking down the key to the lost treasure. Among pyramids, scarabs and the sphinx, the children decode symbols and hieroglyphs, solve riddles and pass a series of trials.

The adventure arrives ready to play: all the material is included and nothing needs printing. Play happens without a screen, indoors or outdoors, with a single child or a group of up to ten. Recommended for ages 6 and up. The game is made in France and all of the material is written in French.

The hunt is built around numbered envelopes that are opened one after the other. There is also an airmail message, a symbol grid puzzle with hieroglyph tiles and a notepad for the answers. Grown-ups get a detailed parents' guide and an explainer video.

You set everything up in no more than 15 minutes, then the children take over. They step into the role of explorers and work through rebus riddles, arithmetic tasks, jigsaw puzzles and hands-on craft activities, all matched to their age. The adventure runs for 1 hr 15 min.

Some clues come as audio: a phone is needed for those, and each game has its own number. Everything else runs screen-free. The hunt was developed with a professional game designer and checked by teachers, and it encourages logic, teamwork and curiosity about history.

The game is recommended for ages 6 and up, with an age range of 6 to 8 years. It suits children who find pyramids, scarabs and ancient writing exciting, and works just as well with one child as with a birthday group of ten.

Typical occasions are a birthday party, a free afternoon, a weekend or the holidays, and the box also makes a welcome Christmas present. All letters, clues, audio messages and the parents' guide are in French, so the game suits French-speaking families or children playing alongside a French-speaking adult.

Read the parents' guide beforehand and watch the explainer video so you know the sequence. Allow the 15 minutes of set-up before the guests arrive, and keep a phone within reach for the audio clues.

If the weather is good, move the hunt outside; if it rains, stay indoors, as both are catered for. With a larger group it helps to share out the puzzle types: whoever enjoys numbers takes the arithmetic tasks, whoever likes making things takes the craft activities. If not every child speaks French, an adult can read the texts aloud and translate along the way.

How many children can take part? The hunt is designed for 1 to 10 players, from a single child to a whole birthday group.

How long does the game last? It runs for 1 hr 15 min, and setting up takes a maximum of 15 minutes.

Is the game available in English? No. The material, letters, audio clues and parents' guide are in French only; there is no German, English or Italian edition.

Do I need to print or prepare anything? No, all the material is included. You only need a phone for the audio clues, and each game has its own number.

What age is the treasure hunt for? It is recommended for ages 6 and up, within an age range of 6 to 8 years.
