Pharaoh’s Tabletop Secret
Watch an ancient monument rise from your table, then unlock its secrets.
About
Pharaoh’s Tabletop Secret brings a touch of magic to your next team event or dinner. It is a fun, table-based game that uses augmented reality to create an unforgettable sense of wonder.
As teams look through a tablet or smartphone, an ancient Egyptian monument appears to rise from the middle of their table. The 3D model sits over the real world and can be explored from every angle.
Team members combine their skills to crack an ancient riddle, working through pop-up touch screen features, sliding stones and coded hieroglyphics in stunning high-definition graphics.
Because it all happens at the table, it slots easily into a dinner, a conference break or an evening reception, and the friendly race between tables keeps the energy high. It is a simple setup with a big wow factor.
Learning outcomes
The intriguing theme and fantastical format draw everyone in, even people who would not usually call themselves gamers.
To solve the puzzles, teams must listen actively, consider every opinion and make decisions quickly within a limited time. Everyone has to agree before a move is made, so communication matters.
While socializing and having fun, participants discover each other's talents. One person spots a pattern in the hieroglyphics, another keeps track of the clues, and the whole table celebrates each breakthrough.
The light-hearted competition between tables builds involvement and a relaxed atmosphere where colleagues can form new connections, making it a perfect icebreaker for groups who are still getting to know each other. Tables often keep chatting about the puzzle long after the winner is announced.
