Egyptian
Adventure Storylines
What
sets a simple treasure hunt apart from an actual adventure is
the story. Video game designers caught on to this many years ago
and now have big budgets for developing compelling stories for
their games. If the player is pulled into the story, they'll be
more engaged in the game. These storylines have been expanded
upon to included full treasure hunt outlines - click HERE

You
can either create one of your own, or choose from one of our example
Egyptian archeology adventure scenarios below:
1.
Have them search for a missing professor and/or his research.
Professor Charles Thorndyke, the reknown explorer and archeologist,
made a recent discovery in the lower delta of the Nile - a new
set of grave ante-chambers that have to date been previously unexplored.
However, once he went public with his discovery, the professor
has disappeared along with his research (before he publicly announced
WHERE the find exactly was.) The adventurers must find out what
happened to the professor. Along the adventure they can find traces
of his research suggesting different places the professor might
be. You can let the plot thicken by having him kidnapped or simply
put him at the end with him simply fearing for his life because
of the threats he got once he went public (that others would kill
for his information.)
2. A mysterious, Egyptian artifact was stolen from a museum. A
mysterious artifact believed to lead to the lost treasure of the
pharaohs
of which no one has ever to date located. It will
be the adventurers responsibility to figure out who stole it and
where they might be able to find it (turn it in for a reward to
the authorities.) As an extension to the adventure you could have
them use the artifact in some way to find the lost treasure (at
the end of your hunt!)
3. Some more reminiscent of Indiana Jones. Set the adventure in
a WWII setting with Hitler looking for a lost Egyptian artifact,
hoping to tap into its power. The adventurers will be on a race
to see who can find it first!
4. Save the world from the Mummy. When an artifact was stolen
from an Egyptian temple, all sorts of strange things have been
happening all over the world. It's one historians belief that
if they can put the artifact back in a certain resting place,
the un-explained disasters will stop. (As a fun addition, it would
be fun to have a couple volunteers dressed up as a mummy to scare
or distract the adventurers as they go about the hunt!)
