Death In Sakkara
Death In Sakkara is a point'n'click adventure from the BBC which lets you learn some history while you are playing. It's rather beautiful to look at, but there's quite a lot of 'talking', which I know not everyone likes in these things, but it doesn't bother me too much. I also liked being transported to Egypt because it's a rainy, dark, day here in London today (that link shows the nearest web cam to where I work!). Anyway, enjoy your travels...

The safe, you don't have to cheat! It's right in front of you, but subtle!

HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)
Well, if you read the note she says, she uses a lot of small words, but if you're looking for numbers, try thinking outside of the box!!!!!!! Look CLOSELY

Sorry, I'm not redoing it, just said information wrong, so, updated it. The safe, You don't have to cheat!

The answer is hidden in the note she gave you.Well, if you read the note you were given, she uses a lot of small words, but if you're looking for numbers, try thinking outside of the box!!!!!!! Look CLOSELY

Listen 'Adam', would you kindly change the name you sign your posts with? I am the true Adam as can be proved by my inclusion of my e-mail address and the Jamie Kane game I have been promoting for the past few months.

i just completed it. the chase game was easy, i just followed the footprints until the guy got trapped in a deadend. i only got stuck on the safe thing, i found the 2, the 1, and the last 2, but i couldnt find the 4! o well, i completed it now, so i'm just waiting for the next episode to come out.

While you are waiting, check out the Jamie Kane game run by the BBC at www.bbc.co.uk/jamiekane

It's like Triskabiblios but a lot more fun

He takes the same path more than once. Figure out how to cut him off.

I figured out the telegram, but it still says the combination's wrong. Is there some order to put the numbers in other than the order they're in? This is so frustrating!

The number of pages in your journal you have read affects your percentage on the main screen. How do you get detailed stats like Babuga? I must have missed something somewhere.

Comment 44, Saturday, October 29th 2005 04:16:00 PM

L.D.

:
Never mind, found the detailed stats in the back of the journal.

I got:
Souq Chase: 10 seconds; 100%
Total Game Score: 25%
Knowledge Score: 40%
Missing Photographs: 2/6
Aten Symbols: 1/4

Total Score: 31%

Think~Pink

:
Is this game associated with the new TV programme 'Egypt', which starts tonight? It looks really interesting..think I'm going to tune in, I love all that treasure hunting stuff :o)

The game was great, I loved it. There wasn't that much text, not like some other games I have played, and the mini game was a nice addition too.

My stats are currently;

Souq Chase: 9 seconds; 100%
Total Game Score: 25%
Knowledge Score: 42%
Missing Photographs: 1/6
Aten Symbols: 1/4
Total Score: 30%

Can't wait until the next installment :o)
