About

Tomb Mischief

Read full description

Tomb Mischief turns one Egyptian temple into five handcrafted, touch-first challenges. Every mode is bundled in the app and works completely offline. Guide a self-walking mummy by tilting your device. Connect matching colored glyphs without crossing paths, and fill every tile across six escalating Chariot Path grids. Complete numbered temple recipes, serve guests to earn supplies, and expand Anubis's kitchen with a prep helper. Follow clear room objectives to inspect, sequence, drag, tilt, rotate, and decode seven sealed chambers. Then search three increasingly difficult tomb scenes for subtle changes, or switch to a fast 4×4 relic memory board. ONE TEMPLE, FIVE WAYS TO PLAY - Mummy's Wobbly Return — gentle tilt steering, moving curses, and oasis power-ups. - Chariot Path — six handcrafted connect-pairs grids, non-crossing orthogonal paths, full-board coverage, timed levels, and three-star scoring. - Anubis Order Rush — one clearly numbered active recipe, a visible next order, supply rewards and penalties, kitchen expansion, and an unlockable helper. - Seven Sealed Chambers — an opening guide, a persistent objective in every room, automatic clue notes, drag-and-drop inventory, and tilt fallback. - Spot the Tomb Trick — three auto-advancing difference scenes with subtler changes and escalating penalties, pinch zoom, and a separate 4×4 memory mode. Every character, chamber, prop, interface element, animation, and sound belongs to one cohesive sandstone, gold, and teal Egyptian world. There are no accounts, purchases, third-party advertising, analytics SDKs, or downloaded game modules. High scores and settings remain on your device.
