comment |
The ClueFinders 4th Grade Adventures: The Puzzle of the Pyramid is an entry in the ClueFinders series of Edutainment Games.The kids are spending their summer vacation in Egypt, where they are accompanied by an Absent-Minded Professor named Botch and his Obviously Evil colleague, Sir Alistair Loveless. During an excavation of the tomb of Peribsen, a ring attaches to Joni's finger. Unbeknownst to her, the ring was owned by Set, the Egyptian god of chaos. Loveless, who has been seeking the power of Set, kidnaps Professor Botch and raids the tomb, leaving behind only a mysterious ancient scroll.The first section of the game takes place in Cairo, where your goal is to get the scroll translated. The local antique dealer needs "Cairoglyphs" to help with the translation, so you'll have to go on a Fetch Quest to find some. Ultimately, the scroll leads you to the game's second area, the Nile Kingdom. This is a Mouse World version of Ancient Egypt. Your goal here is to collect gems from the mice in order to gain access to a palace presided over by a talking blue cat. The third and final section of the game has you racing to the center of a pyramid, where the ClueFinders will rescue their professor and thwart Loveless' Evil Plan to unleash chaos upon the world.This game is often regarded as the Oddball in the Series. The kids never split up, with the Team Pet Socrates filling the usual role of Santiago's red videophone. Indeed, this is the only game in the series in which Socrates appears with any prominence. Additionally, the storyline is more fantastical than usual, the tone is more light-hearted and parodic, the villain's identity is known from the start, and the art style is different. This game and Math Adventures are also the only ones in which the ClueFinders don't wear their regular outfits. |

Tempting Fate: "I'm fresh out of gems, but I know you're wonderful. You'll work for free, right?" Weirdly, it actually falls to the player to make the joke land, either by clicking back to the path or by warping away with LapTrap. Given the way the line was delivered, the developers clearly expected that most players would not continue to work without payment, and they probably weren't wrong. |

He also turns Loveless into a mummy and then tries to kill him because he finds him annoying. |

Prophecies Rhyme All the Time |
| | The ClueFinders 4th Grade Adventures: The Puzzle of the Pyramid (Video Game) / int_88e11e1f |
comment |
Prophecies Rhyme All the Time: The first section of the game has the Cluefinders seeking out "cairoglyphs" to decode an ancient scroll that will lead them to the next area. Each set of twelve cairoglyphs allows the translation of one of the five rhyming couplets. If one is willing to brute-force a little bit, this can even be exploited for Sequence Breaking — the key clue always takes the form of either "X, Y, then X once more, to open up the secret door" or "X, Y, then an ear, to make the secret door appear". After unlocking the secret passage and solving one last puzzle, another scroll points to the next area, and it too is translated as a series of rhyming couplets — notably, this one is called out as being kinda awful poetry, and it's implied that the antiques dealer is at the least massaging the translation pretty heavily, if not outright making it up. |

Cliffhanger: When the Cluefinders and the professor are leaving Egypt at the end, they talk about hopefully never seeing Alistair ever again. Cut to one of the back rows where Alistair (still transformed as a mummy) is sitting while wearing a disguise. |

Shout-Out |
| | The ClueFinders 4th Grade Adventures: The Puzzle of the Pyramid (Video Game) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: A lot of incidental characters are caricatures of figures from The Golden Age of Hollywood, adding to the overall parodic vibe: The three map mice are mice versions of The Three Stooges. The Riddling Sphinx who talks like Groucho Marx. When asked about his roles for the games on Twitter, voice actor J.S. Gilbert (who voices Horus in 4th Grade and other minor characters in 3rd Grade) said that the voices for the gods Horus and Sobek from 4th Grade were inspired by Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., respectively. The talking cat is a parody of Tallulah Bankhead. The overseer mouse in "Rolling Stone Builders" is a parody of Edward G. Robinson, see? |

Lighter and Softer: Interestingly, 4th Grade Adventures is this even compared to 3rd Grade Adventures, and has much more of a sense of humor. |

Hijacked by Jesus: Though not as badly as in some other series. It helps that Set was fairly evil even in the old myths. |

God's Hands Are Tied: During the final act, the Cluefinders encounter the Egyptian gods, Horus, Sobek, Isis, and Bastet, who provide the main characters with magical boons to help them defeat Set. According to Horus, said gods would fight him themselves, but the passage leading to him is marked with a sign: "You must be under this height to defeat the forces of Chaos." (And the height is forty feet, no less!) |

Conspicuous Trenchcoat: At the end, Socrates dresses this way on the flight home in order to disguise the fact that he's a dog and thereby avoid riding in the cargo hold. It works, so far as we can tell. |

Oddball in the Series: This is the only game in the main series where the Cluefinders never split up, resulting in their Team Pet Socrates taking the place of Santiago's videophone whenever the player needs a hint during one of the puzzles. Not to mention, the game has a different art style than the rest of the games, the characters have different outfits, as well as its story revolving around mythology rather than sci-fi. |

Shown Their Work: While Peribsen's tomb was found in 1898 - rather than when the game was set - there was a particular reason that he was chosen: Unlike most other Egyptian Pharaohs? His patron deity? Set. The kids also do need to take a car drive to Cairo - as the site of Peribsen's tomb is closer to the modern city of El Balyana. |
