The Restless Mummy

The Restless Mummy is a 2001 puzzle game released by LEGO for the Adventurers Egypt theme.
== Synopsis ==
At his office in Brisbane, Australia, Johnny Thunder receives a phone call from Dr. Kilroy, who informs him that there are mysterious bloodcurdling noises coming from a recently excavated Egyptian tomb. Johnny, Kilroy, and Pippin Reed explore the tomb and discover an undead Mummy who is unable to rest because one of his treasures, the Golden Snake, is missing. Upon matching several tomb scarabs, the Adventurers discover a hidden snake den, and Johnny catches snakes in a net until he finds the Golden Snake, which is safely returned to the Mummy. The Adventurers leave the tomb to set out on their next adventure.
== Gameplay ==
Most of the game plays out in the form of story cutscenes, which are occasionally broken up by short interactive minigames. The game has two difficulty settings, Easy and Hard, which mainly affect the last two minigames.
The first minigame (internally named "labyrinth") has the player navigating the Adventurers through the tomb to find the moaning Mummy. The player does so by clicking arrows that direct the Adventurers to walk left, right, or forward. Most paths lead to dead ends, forcing the Adventurers to turn around and choose a different path.
In the second minigame, Dr. Kilroy deduces that something is missing from the Mummy's tomb. There is a room with multiple treasures and a series of murals on the wall depicting a cat, bird, a golden bull, a basket, a golden snake, and a staff. The player must click on the mural that corresponds to the missing treasure. If the wrong mural is selected, Pippin says that she sees the treasure present in the room.
The third minigame (internally named "scarabgame") has six tomb scarabs crawling over a wall. The player can click and hold each scarab to pick it up and move it. Each scarab has two symbols on its back, and they must be arranged in order so that each scarab is placed next to another scarab with a matching symbol. In Easy mode, the scarabs stay put once inserted into the correct slot. In Hard mode, the scarabs only stay still for a few seconds and then will crawl away again, forcing the player to act quickly.
The fourth minigame (internally named "snakegame") has the player take direct control of Johnny Thunder using the arrow keys and the Ctrl (PC) or Command (Mac) key. Here, Johnny is in the snake den with a butterfly net and multiple snakes (up to 2 in Easy, up to 3 in Hard). Using Ctrl/Command, Johnny must catch a certain number of red snakes (7 in Easy, 10 in Hard), or he can catch the Golden Snake itself should it randomly spawn after several cycles. A snake can only be caught while it is coiled; otherwise, if a slithering snake makes contact with Johnny, it bites him and he loses one snake. Johnny can safely avoid snakes by jumping and grabbing the ropes dangled by Pippin and Kilroy. In Hard mode, the snakes behave more aggressively and will quickly slither after Johnny.
