The game is set in Heliopolis, a city located on the banks of the River Nile, in Ancient Egypt. The player solves mysteries to learn about subjects like life in Egypt and the Egyptian Gods. Dragoo, a mischievous young dragon, is the player's guide through the game. The game also includes an Ancient Egypt multimedia encyclopaedia.

Gameplay

The game consists of many interactive and educational workshops, each revolving around a theme such as architecture, hieroglyphs, religion, and music.

Critical reception

Olaf Szewczyk of Polygamia thought the game offered a pale representation of the interesting Egyptian culture.
