* GodsHandsAreTied: Of all the series to parody this no less... During the final act, the Cluefinders encounter the Egyptian gods, Horus, Sobek, Isis, and Bastet, who provide the main characters with magical boons to help them [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu defeat Set]]. According to Horus, said gods would fight him themselves, but the passage leading to him is marked with a sign: "You must be under this height to defeat the forces of Chaos." (And the height is forty feet, no less!)

This game is often regarded as the OddballInTheSeries. The kids never [[LetsSplitUpGang split up]], with the TeamPet Socrates filling the usual role of Santiago's red videophone. Indeed, this is the only game in the series in which Socrates appears with any prominence. Additionally, the storyline is more fantastical than usual, the tone is more light-hearted and parodic, the villain's identity is known from the start, and the art style is different. This game and ''Math Adventures'' are also the only ones in which the [=ClueFinders=] don't wear [[LimitedWardrobe their regular outfits]].

Riddle of the Sphinx is about a specific riddle- though seeing as these technically aren't even riddles I'm not sure if this still counts? Eh tropes are flexible, I'll let someone else handle this
