Oh, hello there my fellow feisty fortune-foragers! Please allow me to regale you with my efforts to solve the mystery surrounding The Kingdom of Ra; I warn you it culminates with a horrible mess involving a decrepit old mummy (actually all my stories seem to end that way!).

I cautiously approach an ancient temple in hopes of acquiring the tantalising Treasure of Ra. I’ve heard stories that this place is cursed, littered with many deadly and varied traps; some may only bring me close to death, others can prove instantly fatal. I swiftly surmise that navigating this place will require careful planning, quick wits, and impressive acts of dexterity; in short, I’m screwed!

The initial thing I notice, as I enter a beautifully constructed yet undeniably evil corridor, is the fusion coil greeting me in the face. In a cruel twist of fate I’ve left my refrigerator at home, so I’m unable to shield myself from the blast or, more importantly, enjoy a cool beverage. Learning from my mistake, I navigate deeper into the temple. There are multiple paths to take, all of them deadly of course, and they provide several opportunities to reach the goal or, in my case, several opportunities to become a horribly mutilated corpse.

I turn the next corner and gaze at an ominous incline. Glancing upwards I spy a group of golf balls resting suspiciously close to the edge. I decide to tempt fate and run like a screaming maniac up the hill. Surprisingly the balls tumble down towards me, so I expertly jump, and dive, and wall climb, and pirouette, and somersault, and cartwheel, and finally land gracefully on the ground unscathed. Unfortunately I’ve done all this before the balls have even made it halfway down the hill. I stand there, completely exhausted, and proceed to be crushed a thousand times over by the deadliest display of golf equipment known to man. The finishing blow complete, I am no longer part of this mortal coil and my journey, for now, is over…Oh yeah, and then a decrepit old mummy totally appears out of nowhere and tea-bags my rotting carcass for no apparent reason (I warned you it would end this way!).

That may be the end of my story, but I've merely scratched the surface. Perhaps you will fare better. Download the map (and gametype) to discover a new breed of adventure puzzle: The Kingdom of Ra!
