The seventh title in this ingenious series of Sherlock Holmes Escape Books, The Adventure of the Pharaoh’s Tomb is an exhilarating combination of escape room, puzzle book and adventure story. Readers will take on the role of the world’s foremost consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, as he embarks on a journey full of twists and turns. The book is set 1892, when Holmes was in hiding after apparently falling to his death at the Reichenbach Falls the previous year. Near Khartoum, Holmes is contacted by his brother, Mycroft, who is concerned about the disappearance of a young archaeologist, Howard Carter. While helping to survey and excavate the ancient Egyptian city of Amarna, Carter had noticed that some of the most fascinating and valuable items were vanishing. He uncovered a plot to steal the treasures from under the noses of the authorities. To thwart it, he took some of the most important pieces into his own possession, and fled with them into the depths of the Royal Tombs. Can you, as Sherlock Holmes, find a way into the heart of the tomb complex that nobody else knows about? You’ve already picked up hints from locals that there may be another secret way in and out. If you can find it and get Carter to safety before the villains force their way in, all may not be lost. Puzzles include riddles, logic problems, word games, mathematical brainteasers, maps and mazes.
