I don't know why I often associated this game with another series but deep down, I knew it wasn't related. It was also time for me to play it and to stop letting it rot my backlog. Henry and Laura, with their two children Emily and Francis, are visiting their aunt Amy in Egypt. However, when Jynxie the cat escaped, the family finds itself trapped into a lost tomb, separated from each other and forced to find a way to reunite and bring together their findings to escape a deadly trap set by a Pharaoh that killed his own brother and cursed his memory. Escape The Lost Kingdom: The Forgotten Pharaoh is a casual adventure game, with hidden objects scenes and puzzles. Each member of the family has a special item: Francis has googles with glyph visions, showing him areas of interests, Emily has the Time Amulet, showing her the previous state of a room, Laura is holding the key to many enigmas thanks to Amy's diary and Henry is carrying with him tools (hammer, shower and crowbar). Each chapter is seen through Francis, Emily and the parents first, before the kids finding themselves and exploring their areas. In the end, the family is reunited for the final push: they're each carrying items needed (staff, torn painting, etc..). Indeed, some parts of the game can't be access unless you have Francis's Googles for example. Besides, each member is carrying items found in their part that will be useful at the end, when the inventories will fuse together. The puzzles are relatively easy, though you may need Amy's diary to find out clues. I had to resort to a walkthrough twice because I couldn't see what to do. And it wasn't because I didn't read Amy's diary. It was mainly because I couldn't understand well the meaning of the enigma. Escape the Lost Kingdom is clearly set in an early era of the genre, though it was transitioning, as it's not hidden objects scenes set as main gameplay. But when you clear a location, it's shown. The map is also an indication of that and isn't interactive at all. However, while the story is only about escaping and not about the Forgotten Pharaoh (everything is explained in the beginning in other words and while you're expecting the main story to come back to that, apart one or two mentions by Emily, the Pharaoh is really forgotten), I would have expected a longer game. Even if you can choose who you'll play first when the whole family is splitted up (Emily, Henry and Laura, Francis), after that, the game is taking back the control: the kids will have to go through more trials than the parents as they found quickly the reunion point. Besides, it's not the graphics that will reconcile people with hidden objects games as they're kinda giving the feel of being outdated. While I appreciated the drawned cutscenes, Francis seemed really an angry child and Henry very serious, where the girls are smiling. And given the scenario, it's sad that you don't have any change in their expression. I would have appreciated Emily's rolling her eyes when saying that she's a big girl now. The soundtrack is nice, like the voice actings. That's why it's just sad that the emotions aren't matching. The feature that showed me how old the game is (and it's not even so old) is the mention of 3D glasses use. You can play the game with it. As I don't know where my old glasses are (from the middle of the '90, mind you), I couldn't try it. Anyway, should I recommend it? Yeah, even if I feel like the game is missing something: too short, not many use of the tools typical to each character, no real freedom of choice despite the beginning, what about the Forgotten Pharaoh and outdated graphics. But it's still an enjoyable moment to pass. However, buy it during a sale or in a bundle. Five bucks for it seems too much for the content.

pros + good looking and colorful egyptian environments + voice acting good + three playable characters + easy puzzles (if you don't want to challenge) + cool egyptian background musics + 3 D option for hidden object scenes + hint system is very helpful + cliche but ok story + there is auto save cons - game could have been longer. - there are no steam achievements - game doesn't drop cards. - game sometimes gives error and shut down.
I didn't really give this game much chance, I admit. So take what I say with a huge grain of salt and maybe try it for yourself, if you get it cheap enough. (I.e. somewhere around 1-2 bucks.) The graphics could be nice, but the resolution is too low, and I think it doesn't scale correctly for my monitor. So you might want to play in Window mode. The idea of red/green glasses for 3D is nice, and as far as I can tell, they always ask you if you want to enable the 3D effect beforehand, so that's a plus. It's not much to see, though, but that is more of an inherent problem with anaglyph 3D (and partially my eyes I think). Interestingly, the depicted glasses apparently have the colors switched from what they write and use. Minor issue, but weird. More troubling is the story itself, which at least at the very beginning isn't all that great. Who would complain "All this over a cat" when they're just about to enter a secret tunnel in an egyptian monument? Why not express wonder or at least fear? Why does one of the characters apparently have glasses that can reveal hidden messages from the pharaos? Another gets an artifact that shows past times and doesn't express more than merely "wow, this is cool, too bad my cat can't see this" instead of at least telling the rest of the family about it, if only to shut down the obnoxious sibling bickering. What had me stop, however, was that the SKIP button didn't work when I decided I wasn't going to follow the story and try to skip the rather boring cutscene. That was, to use a fitting euphemism, the straw that broke the camels back. With better graphics, and a few tweaks to the story it could be nice, I guess. Maybe a newer game engine could resample the textures?
By far, the absolute worst hidden object game I've ever played. Grainy graphics, terrible voice acting, boring story, pointless puzzles, and medicore gameplay all contribute to making this game a true waste of time.
Mediocre game with a generic story. Kids get stuck/trapped and you need to save them. Voice acting and music are ok, but graphics are bad and old since game is from 2010. HOG parts of game are too frequent and hint button does not always help you figure out what to do.

I really enjoyed Escape the Lost Kingdom:The Forgotten Pharaoh, particularly the dynamic where you have the choice to play as one of four family members. Each member is armed with a helpful device that aids in solving puzzles. A helpful map is provided, and you are told when you have cleared an area. The game is under 3 hours long, and mostly consists of hidden object scenes and collecting items on your route. Although decent, a warning, however: The game ended on a major a cliff-hanger. I found out this game's Platinum Edition provides another chapter that rounds out the story perfectly. That's too bad, because the rest of the game was pretty good. I've experienced this with another Gogii game VOODOO WHISPERER that also ended on a major cliff hanger, with no chance for a sequel. I still recommend the first part - get it at a deep discount!
Terrible game , got 3/4s of the way through and there are several pieces of torn picture needed , the last piece was not where the walktrough says it should be, now I can't finnish the game ,also waisted several hours looking for it all over the game.
Escape The Lost Kingdom: The Forgotten Pharoah is a hidden object game with a little twist, you can wear old fashioned 3D glasses for a 3D effect. Unfortunately, there's major problems. Fullscreen mode doesn't work properly, there's no 16:9 aspect ratio support, and the game is buggy, sometimes missing puzzle elements prevent progression, and the game itself is incomplete. Gogii Games should get an award for doing an abandoned early access game before early access was a thing!
Pretty cute little Hidden Object Adventure. Saying that the game took me a solid 90 minuntes to complete I'd say not really worth the $5 full price, (cause personally that would mean the game would need a solid 5 hours worth of entertaining gameplay within it) but the price I payed ($1.24) is a little more along the lines of equal pricing for entertainment value. Yes the game is a bit mono-tone with it's color pallet, but honestly what else are you going to do with a desert/mummy storyline? Not use sandy like colors? Honestly when it comes to the color pallet I felt it fit perfectly, and made the game suck me in better. I could live with the cutscenes being a tad more animated and less comic book like, but that's cause I'm so use to other games not having still images interact with each other and having it called a cutscene. As for Storyline which has been said it's not entertaining enough to keep people's attention? ~ Yes it's slower than it should be to keep people's attention ~ Yes it feels like you're living the plot of Groundhog Day for the first half of the game. ~ Yes it's short ~ Yes it's a simple plot (Cat runs off, you get trapped in a Pyramid, you need to find your way out. Everything I just named you should know by 5-10 minutes into the game if that) but it's pretty cute reguardless. The Hidden Object Scenes: ~ Are very mono-toned with the color pallet ~ Are somewhat repeative But despite that I personally still enjoyed them Over all, I recommend the game for the fact that it's simple enough to finish in a single afternoon so it's a really good "lazy day" game which in all honesty I play Hidden Object games when Im tired or too lazy to try to play something like a Puzzle Platformer xD If you are turned off by anything I listed for the game, I'd say don't buy it cause if y discription of the game discourages you then it's clearly not your style and you're not going to be happy with it if you buy it.
