Ancient Egypt Adventure Pack - River of the Pharaohs

River of the Pharaohs

Ancient Egypt Adventure Pack

Something has disrupted the flow of history along the Nile River.

Sensors across the Nile Legacy Complex are detecting broken farming cycles, unstable leadership systems, and disrupted beliefs that once held Ancient Egypt together. Ari Raider has traced the disturbance to this powerful river civilization, where the Professor has interfered with key systems and hidden a specimen inside a sealed Mystery Mine.

In River of the Pharaohs, students explore how geography, farming, government, religion, and daily life worked together to build one of the world’s earliest and most influential civilizations. From fertile riverbanks and centralized leadership to pyramids, writing, and beliefs about the afterlife, explorers must use real historical knowledge to restore balance and unlock the Mystery Mine.

This adventure transforms history into a story-driven mission focused on civilization, culture, and the systems that shape societies.
