Video Walkthrough

Objective

Escape from the Egyptian pyramid by collecting items throughout the pyramid chambers, solving various puzzles including circle rotation puzzles, door lock puzzles, number block puzzles, scarab maze puzzles, pipe connection puzzles, light reflection puzzles, column symbol puzzles, and pyramid color puzzles, crafting tools like a torch, and finally escaping from the pyramid.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Start in the first room of the pyramid - collect a water Jug from the floor on the left
  2. View the fire pit with red hot coals on the left by the door
  3. Collect a Metal Circle from the right side of the fire pit
  4. View the Table on the right of the room
  5. Collect a bottle of Oil from the table top
  6. Add the metal circle to the statue on the table
  7. View the statue to see a circle puzzle
  8. Solve the circle puzzle by rotating each of the rings to complete the 2 images on the 2 sides of the statue
  9. Moving a ring on one side will also move a ring on the other side - adjust rings alternately from left and right
  10. Line up all of the rings as needed to complete both images
  11. Once solved, a panel opens - collect the Figurine
  12. View the doors at the far end and add the figurine to the center to open a panel
  13. Solve the door puzzle lock by arranging the blocks on the left to make the beams replicate the pattern on the right
  14. The pattern may be different for you - match the beam pattern to the line pattern
  15. Once solved, go through to the next room
  16. In the second room, see a large statue with a mirror on top
  17. Collect a Stick from the feet of the statue
  18. View the small water basin on the far left
  19. Use the stick on the blocked hole at the top of the basin to release the water flow
  20. Collect a Red Stone from the basin
  21. Use the Jug on the water to collect a Jug of Water
  22. View the cloth hanging on the right side wall
  23. Collect a Blue Stone from the cloth
  24. Go back to the first room and view the hot coals again
  25. Use the jug of water on the coals to cool them down
  26. Collect an Eye from the cooled coals
  27. Tap on a wall panel on the right in the middle of the wall
  28. Place the Eye in the center space
  29. This reveals a number block puzzle
  30. Solve the number block puzzle - there is a grid of symbols for numbers
  31. The green row and column are totals - tap blue tiles to select them
  32. Choose the correct numbered tiles to add up the rows and columns to match the totals in the green tiles
  33. The numbers for your game may be different
  34. Once solved, the panel opens - collect a Dagger
  35. Note there is a keyhole that you cannot operate yet
  36. View the sarcophagus in the center of the room
  37. Use the stick to open the lid
  38. Collect a Pyramid (1 of 3) from the sarcophagus
  39. Go through to the second room and view the hanging cloth on the right wall again
  40. Use the dagger on the cloth to cut off a piece of Cloth
  41. View the Stick in your inventory and add the cloth to it

  46. Go through to a dark room
  47. Use the torch here to light the flames on the left and right to light up the room
  48. View the door at the far end to see 2 slots on the left and right
  49. Place the blue stone on the left side to start a series of puzzles
  50. Solve the blue stone scarab maze puzzles - move a small scarab icon around the grid
  51. Swipe the icon in the direction you want it to move - it will move until it hits a block
  52. Passing over a square will turn it orange - fill in the whole grid in orange to finish each level
  53. You cannot pass over orange squares - if you make a mistake hit the reset button
  54. Complete all 4 levels of the blue stone puzzles
  55. After the blue stone puzzles, place the red stone for another set of puzzles
  56. Solve the red stone pipe connection puzzles - connect the pairs of colored points together by dragging between them
  57. The lines of each color cannot cross - you don't need to fill in every section of the grids
  58. Complete all 4 levels of the red stone puzzles
  59. Once both sets of puzzles are completed, the doors open - pass through to another large room
  60. In the third room, view the top of the statue on the back wall

  71. This starts a light puzzle
  72. Solve the light puzzle - there is a beam of light at the top
  73. Move the square blocks around the maze to direct and split the beam of light
  74. Get the beam to reach all of the red crystals on the maze
  75. The positions of the crystals may vary - you may not need to use all of the blocks
  76. Once solved, the panel opens - collect a second Pyramid (2 of 3)
  77. Back up to the first room and view a wall picture on the right wall that is covered with dirt
  78. Use the brush here to clean it and reveal a clue
  79. You will see 2 columns of symbols - remember these symbols
  80. Move back to the room that was dark - there are 2 columns of square blocks
  81. Solve the columns puzzle by tapping the blocks to turn them
  82. Set the symbols to match those in the clue - turning 1 block can also make other blocks turn on the opposite column
  83. Once done, collect a Key and a Key Part (strange key)
  84. Go back to the first room and view the key hole that you uncovered on the right wall
  85. Use the Key part here
  86. When you take it out again, you will collect a Key (strange key)

  97. Add the 3 pyramids to it to start a puzzle
  98. Solve the pyramid puzzle - on the left are 3 colored shapes (green, blue, red)
  99. Move them to the matching symbols on the right
  100. You can only move a shape onto a matching color grid spot
  101. When you move the shape it will change the color of the grid spot it moves to
  102. The green shape turns the grids red, the blue shape turns the grids green, and the red shape turns the grids blue
  103. Get all 3 shapes across to complete the puzzle
  104. Once done, the floor will open and a Chest will appear
  105. View the chest and add the Cylinder to it to make a combination lock
  106. Notice the 3 symbols above the lock
  107. To get the combination, look for these symbols in all of the rooms
  108. Examine the various areas carefully and count the symbols
  109. Enter the combination based on the symbol counts
  110. Once opened, collect a Bastet figure from the chest
  111. Back up again to the first room and view the statue in the center

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • Keep track of how many pyramids you've collected - you need all 3 for the pyramid puzzle
  • The circle puzzle requires rotating rings alternately from left and right - moving one side affects the other
  • The door puzzle lock requires matching the beam pattern to the line pattern - patterns may vary
  • The number block puzzle uses green tiles as totals - select blue tiles to match the totals
  • The blue stone scarab puzzles require filling the entire grid orange - you cannot pass over orange squares
  • The red stone pipe puzzles require connecting colored points without crossing lines
  • The light puzzle requires directing the beam to all red crystals - you may not need all blocks
  • The columns puzzle requires matching symbols - turning one block affects the opposite column
  • The pyramid puzzle changes grid colors when shapes move - green turns grids red, blue turns grids green, red turns grids blue
  • The combination lock requires counting symbols throughout all rooms - examine areas carefully
  • Make sure to craft the torch (stick + cloth + oil) before entering the dark room
  • The scales puzzle requires both heart and feather to be placed together

⚠️ Common Mistakes

  • Not collecting all 3 pyramids before attempting the pyramid puzzle
  • Trying to solve the circle puzzle without understanding that moving one side affects the other
  • Not matching the beam pattern correctly in the door puzzle lock
  • Trying to solve the number block puzzle without understanding the green totals
  • Passing over orange squares in the scarab maze puzzles - use reset if needed
  • Crossing colored lines in the pipe connection puzzles
  • Not directing the light beam to all red crystals in the light puzzle
  • Not matching symbols correctly in the columns puzzle - remember turning affects opposite column
  • Not understanding color changes in the pyramid puzzle - shapes change grid colors when moved
  • Not counting symbols correctly for the combination lock - examine all rooms carefully
  • Forgetting to craft the torch before entering the dark room
  • Not placing both heart and feather on the scales together
