Description: A historical mini experience (10-20 minutes) browse the tomb or play a timed treasure hunt. Explore the 3 rooms of King Tut’s Ancient Egyptian tomb with the HTC Vive to see what they might have to say about the life and culture of early civilizations. 1323 BC: a time when Egypt is a recognized world power.

Its young leader, King Tutankhamun, has passed away and been buried in what will become one of the greatest icons of Ancient Egypt. The tomb is littered with treasures and artefacts symbolic of Ancient Egyptian culture. Centuries later the tomb is uncovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter, and now you too can explore the tomb. Look around and learn about its contents in Discovery Mode, or take all the treasure before time runs out in Treasure Hunt.

Review: There isn’t much to do in this app, but the Concepts category is there for a good reason, it allows app developers to test ideas on us the public. I loved the treasure hunting mode and found the discovery mode very educational, I really did learn a lot about King Tut’s life! If you have ever wondered about who King Tut was or about his tomb download this and learn all about it. But if you have no interest in that, download it and play the timed find ‘n’ seek game, its small but loads of fun.
