“ Ahhh!” screams Autumn as the plane plummets towards the old, cracking temple. BOOM! The aircraft has crash-landed into Tutankhamun’s temple, in the middle of the gloomy Egyptian desert. You stay seated until the cabin crew tells you and other passengers what to do. “ Finally! “ says your Mum as they open the doors of the plane. “Alex, get Autumn and wait outside for us while we question the crew about what’s going on!” orders your Dad to you.

Do you stay and help the worried passengers fix the plane? 1

You decide to search the temple with Autumn. You have wondered round for about five minutes discovering all sorts of mysterious items: skeletons; chests and dusty books. Sadly you can’t read the books because there all in hieroglyphics! You carry on examining this level of the temple for a long while. In the corner of your eye, you see a rope hanging where the grand staircase used to be. The rope looks like it could snap any minute, but you need to seek the next floor. Do you climb the rope, risking death? Do you look for stairs? Do you climb the rope, risking death? Do you look for stairs? 2

You decide to stay and help fix the plane. You and Autumn are in charge of making sure all the passengers remain calm and don’t panic! Suddenly you have a brain wave! You tell Autumn about how the plane might have run out of fuel! You sprint to the pilot and plead for him to have a look in the fuel box. The pilot tuts in frustration as he walks out of the plane trying to avoid any angry passengers! The pilot opens the fuel box and yells “ OH MY DAYS, you were right! We are saved!” After that, he realised that we were not completely saved! Do you leave the plane and look for the picture? Do you search for a car which may have fuel? 3

You decide to climb the rope to get to the next level. You climb the thick, wet, soggy rope to get to the 13 th floor! Unexpectedly the rope gets longer and longer and longer. CRASH! You fall down the hole as the rope snaps through the middle. You are falling deeper and deeper and deeper. Soon enough, you see your long lost possession, the photo of your mum in a priceless photo frame! Do you try and get the photo? Do you try and get out of the hole, leaving the photo? Do you try and get the photo? Do you try and get out of the hole, leaving the photo? 4

You choose to look for stairs. You find some carved sandstone steps leading up to the next floor. Whilst you are walking up the small and steep steps, you notice a muscly old man, who is holding your long lost possession. Sprinting at him, you stare at his red, bloodshot eyes, then you stare at the frame. “ Khashibu!” He screams over and over again. You roll your head side to side, guessing it means go away. You’re not backing out! You think about ways to get the picture! Suddenly it comes to you! Do you ask for the photo politely? Do you fight him for it? Do you ask for the photo politely? Do you fight him for it? 5

You leave the plane and look for the picture frame when suddenly you hear an ear-popping blast! “ What was that?” you ask, over the screaming people who are slowly perishing into the luxury of heaven or the plain death of hell! Out of the corner of your eye you catch a glimpse of what is happening, its to far to run, you look around searching for a high stable tree to see properly what's going on. The leaves are blossoming as you start to climb the tallest tree in the jungle. You can now see the tragedy that’s gone on. The planes set fire! Do you go back to plane and search for Autumn? Do you carry on your journey into the forest? Do you go back to plane and search for Autumn? Do you carry on your journey into the forest? 6

You decided to search for a car with fuel? You search each floor, consequently you find a small land rover on the top floor! The windows are all blacked out so you can’t tell if someone's inside! The knock on the window of the car and the it slowly creeps down. “ WHAT!” says the mysterious Egyptian man, who looks strangely pale for a man who lives in the desert! You examine the car and see the picture frame in the back seat! Finally you have enough courage to ask for the fuel and the picture! Do you ask for the fuel and picture? Do you jump through the cars window and attempt to grab the frame? Do you ask for the fuel and picture? Do you jump through the cars window and attempt to grab the frame? 7

You decided to try and snatch the picture frame, which is engraved with expensive jewels. You grab the frame and take the back of it, the spirit of your loving mother is released into the Egyptian breeze. Tears of joy are running down your face as you gaze at the white figure in the air. Your mum recognises you and carries you back to the plane, which has been fixed by some of your mums friends in heaven that in their first life were builders or electricians. You have completed your mission! 8

Suddenly you see some old, dusty stairs then you start climbing out of the black hole. Half way up the stairs you feel extreme pain in your stomach, when you look in the middle of your tummy you find three red arrows inside you! You scream as you fall back down the hole in agony, “Autumn” you shout, “Please, help me!” Quickly, the voice is never to be heard again. You have not completed your goal! 9

You ask the man politely for the picture frame, however he throws the frame down the layers from the top layer to the bottom one. Suddenly, the frame gets stuck on a sticky weed plant just above the floor that you are on, making it very difficult to reach as the sticky weed is moving in so fast! The picture is never to be seen again … Until you find half of the frame popping out, you grab it as quick as you possibly can and then try and get out of the temple. Your mission is successfully completed! 10

In a blink of an eye, the man starts crushing your arm into the car door! You find yourself, when you wake up from a beating, at the 10 th floor of the temple and wonder how you have got there… You find a door and a flight of steps to walk back up to the 13 th floor, and you do not see the man anywhere. Suddenly, you feel breathing on your neck then hands on your back. BANG! You fall back down the flight of stairs. You have died from a low blood pressure and sadly not completed your quest! 11

Pushing branches as you go through the dull Egyptian forest you find autumn with a snake rapped around her body. When you wrestle the snake it bites you on the neck, you become very badly injured from the venom in your body! However the bite weakens you from all the wind going inside your neck, and all the tree leaves falling onto you. your mission sadly not completed! 12

You search the forest, suddenly the sun reflects on you, you think it’s a sign to take the picture frame. You open the picture and the spirit of your mum comes out and she goes up to heaven. In the corner of your eye, you see a phone you take it off the floor. You walk out of the forest and ring for help. Autumn was never to be seen again… 13

You ask for fuel and you make a deal with him, he gets the fuel and you get the picture frame. He’s been trapped on the island for a decade and has all ways wanted to be reunited with his family. 14

You jump into the car, in the blink of an eye the man throws acid on you and you burn alive, you haven’t completed your mission! 15
