Gratuitous Laboratory Flasks: On the cover, artist Mark Nagata saw fit to include the diary-scribbling mummy mixing green chemicals together in test tubes, while all manner of other bits and bobs of lab glassware is visible (none of which appear in the book itself, outside of a single beaker).

Meat-O-Vision: A variant happens where, if you try to distract a crocodile by throwing gummy candy at it, you then run out and the crocodile sees you as a gummy candy... and eats you.

comment
Two-Headed Coin: There is one scenario where you end up becoming a mummy yourself, and the two museum guards tasked with escorting you decide to toss a coin on whether to steal you or transport you back. Unfortunately, the guard who did the tossing wants to steal you — so he's using a coin with two tails.

Morton's Fork: If you get trapped with the crocodile in Egypt, he either eats you right away, or you stall by giving the crocodile gummy snacks. Unfortunately, since there's no rescue on the horizon, you'll eventually get eaten anyway after the snacks run out. Likewise, if you decide to remove your bandages after you're transformed into a mummy, you end up captured by two guards who toss the coin twice to decide your fate, and the book tells you to do it as well. The first time it's even not a real choice, since the guard who tosses the coin is using a two-headed one - and the second time, if you get tails, you end up tossed to sharks. If you get heads, the guards return you to the museum... but the museum director has no intention of letting you go, and wants to keep you as a part of his exhibit forever.

Moon Logic Puzzle: You are in Egypt, being attacked by a crocodile. The book asks you if you are carrying some gummy candy to distract the crocodile. If you don't it kills you. If you do... he follows you around to get fed more, and you know one day you'll run out, and the croc will have to find something (or someone) else to eat...

Here We Go Again!: In one of the endings, you get the mummy to enter into a beauty spa for a "Rejuvenating treatment". He comes out looking... slightly better. He goes away with a smile. But then you return to the hotel and find out that there's a new entry in the diary saying that today he met a new friend that showed him modern marvels and that now he'll have to keep following him to learn what else he knows. Oh boy...

Covers Always Lie: The mummy experimenting with all those beakers, as seen on the cover? Nothing of the sort occurs in the story. Also the cover shows the mummy actually writing into the diary, when in the story itself the mummy actually projects his thoughts into the diary via Telepathy.

comment
Schrödinger's Gun: In the book, the mummy's diary may be either a real thing, a prank by your brother Derek, or a hoax planted by a government intelligence agency with the intention of recruiting you as an agent. The hieroglyphs in the diary are either clues pointing to hidden treasure or reviews for Egyptian restaurants, and in one more subplot, the mummy is revealed to be an animatronic.

The End... Or Is It?: One ending has you successfully steal your body back from the Mummy and return to your family, but then you find a new entry in the Mummy's Diary promising he will escape and get revenge on you one day.

Cruel Twist Ending: In one ending, you've proven yourself to become a member of kid assistants to help the FBI catch art thieves, with the benefits of no school for a year and pay. You proceed to blow it by absent-mindedly drinking the blue lemonade (with sleeping potion) they were using to test you.

Reduced to Dust: One of the bad endings has you and your brother Derek failing to complete an incantation, resulting in your bodies being turned to dust. As an added insult, the spell then results in a breeze that blows your ashes halfway across the world from San Francisco to Egypt.

An Arm and a Leg
 Diary of a Mad Mummy / int_d028e0da
comment
An Arm and a Leg: One of the most gruesome examples ever put in these kind of books, and that is saying a lot. In one of the bad endings, the mummy grabs you by one hand intending to drag you into a coffin, and the book asks if you're allowing the mummy to pull you in or to yank your hand as hard as possible. If you choose that option... the next page will say the mummy is still holding your hand, but it isn't connected to your body anymore.

No Ending: One ending has you accidentally drink something that was drugged, so you lose consciousness and wake up to find that the diary was stolen. The story ends there and you're told that without the diary you can't go on any further, since the whole book is about the diary.

Fake Interactivity: Diary of a Mad Mummy features a bit where you're riding on camelback, believing you're being followed. The book then instructs you to briefly turn to different pages of the book in order to try to throw off the pursuers before moving on with the story. It doesn't work.
