Dr. Marbles finds the encryptor chip, which he needs to delete Motherboard's virus, in an ancient pyramid. But the Mummy who guards the pyramid finds Marbles. When the kids and Digit arrive, they must work their way through the chambers of the pyramid, find Dr. Marbles, and escape before a trap set by the Mummy seals them inside forever. How much time do they have? Unfortunately, they have no clock or watch to tell them how much time has gone by. Is the mission impossible? Not for our kids!

Maze and Marbles
This "Rube Goldberg" type activity involves a marble machine that drops marbles at a steady rate, registering one tick on a digital display. The marble machine must stay full enough to complete 60 ticks. To keep the machine full, the player engages in a "Pong" type activity to guide a falling marble through a moving maze, and into a tube to refill the machine. Time is of the essence!
