Artifact Alarm at the British Museum

Archaeology & Artifacts Adventure Pack

Inside the grand galleries of the British Museum, the artifact registry is flashing alerts.

Exhibit labels are scrambled. Excavation records are incomplete. Ancient collections are misfiled in the archive. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the archaeology network, and if the evidence trail is not restored, important stories from the past could be lost.

In Artifact Alarm at the British Museum, students board the Gallery Glide Cart and enter a high-stakes history mission. By exploring how archaeologists conduct excavations, how artifacts provide evidence about ancient civilizations, and how curators preserve and organize collections for exhibits, explorers must rebuild the archive and restore the timeline.

This adventure blends history, investigation, and critical thinking with story-driven exploration.
