Pharaoh’s Tabletop Secret
Watch a monument rise from your table and unlock its ancient secret.
About
Pharaoh’s Tabletop Secret is a playful table-based game that brings a new level of interaction to your next team event or gala dinner.
Teams watch in amazement as an ancient Egyptian monument appears to rise from the middle of their table. Augmented reality layers 3D models over the real world, so the monument can be explored from every angle through a tablet or smartphone.
Team members combine their skills to crack an ancient riddle, working through layer after layer of puzzles.
Pop-up touch screen features, sliding stones and coded hieroglyphics in high-definition graphics add to the sense of adventure. Because everything happens at the table, the game slots easily into a dinner, conference break or evening programme, with no need to move the room or change the set-up.
Learning outcomes
The intriguing theme and unusual game format draw in every team member, including people who would never describe themselves as gamers.
To reach the end goal, teams must listen actively, consider every opinion and make decisions quickly within a limited time.
While socialising and having fun, participants discover one another's talents and learn how to combine them. One person spots the pattern in the hieroglyphics, another keeps track of the clues, and the whole table celebrates each breakthrough.
Light-hearted competition between tables drives involvement and creates a relaxed atmosphere in which colleagues forge new connections. That makes it an ideal ice-breaker for groups who do not yet know each other well, such as new teams or delegates arriving from different countries.
