A new interactive comedy mystery in Arizona: "The scene is set in 1925 Scotland at Castle MacLaird, where Lord MacLaird is hosting a dinner party to show off an ancient sarcophagus and mummy he has brought back from an expedition in Egypt. It was around the same time that two Englishmen, Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter, found King Tutankhamun's tomb. The mummy happens to be King Tut's long lost brother. Things, however, become less celebratory when an altercation occurs between the Lord and a guest, Nigel Carrington, over the ownership of the mummy. Carrington is found dead later, and the guests have to figure out the cause."

While it may be a stretch to envision a large-scale pyramid or sarcophagus in our home design, adding an element of ancient Egypt may be the fix for a room lacking personality."
