Trapped in the Pyramid

“Trapped in the Pyramid,” made for kids ages 7 to 10, locks your group in a secret chamber discovered deep inside a pyramid, for as long as a sand trap door stays jammed, with a real countdown ticking on a giant hourglass. Decode hieroglyphs, balance a scale with the right weights, open a door with three symbols: each puzzle unlocks a clue that gets the group closer to the exit before the sand floods the room. The mood stays adventurous and playful, never scary, and it fits a birthday party or an afternoon with cousins equally well. The book already includes the puzzles, the padlocks to cut out and assemble, backup hints for groups that get stuck, and a step-by-step guide for the game host: what to set up, what to say, and when to restart the countdown. It is an intense, short experience built to fit in one hour, from the first lock-in signal to the opening of the secret exit. Five puzzles follow one another, each tied to the last by an object or a symbol, so the group really feels the pressure of the clock without ever staying stuck for long. The host guide spells out suggested timing for each step and options for different ages.
