''The [=ClueFinders=] 4th Grade Adventures: The Puzzle of the Pyramid'' is an entry in the ''VideoGame/ClueFinders'' series of {{Edutainment Game}}s.

* AdultsAreUseless: Adults are befuddled by problems that the [=ClueFinders=] solve easily.

* TemptingFate: "I'm fresh out of gems, but I know you're ''wonderful''. You'll work for free, right?" Weirdly, it actually falls to the player to make the joke land, either by clicking back to the path or by [[WarpWhistle warping away with LapTrap]]. Given the way the line was delivered, the developers clearly expected that most players would ''not'' continue to work without payment.

* ShoutOut:

* SameLanguageDub: As usual, the U.K. edition redubs the characters with British voices. Notably, averted with the Sphinx, for whom the original American voice tract was left in.

The first section of the game takes place in {{UsefulNotes/Cairo}}, where your goal is to get the scroll translated. The local antique dealer needs "Cairoglyphs" to help with the translation, so you'll have to go on a FetchQuest to find some. Ultimately, the scroll leads you to the game's second area, the Nile Kingdom. This is a MouseWorld version of AncientEgypt. Your goal here is collect gems from the mice in order to gain access to a palace presided over by a talking blue cat. The third and final section of the game has you racing to the center of a pyramid, where the [=ClueFinders=] will rescue their professor and thwart Loveless' EvilPlan to unleash chaos upon the world.

Spending their summer vacation in Egypt, the kids are with an AbsentMindedProfessor named Botch and his ObviouslyEvil colleague, [[DastardlyWhiplash Sir Alistair Loveless]]. During an excavation of the tomb of Peribsen, a ring attaches to Joni's finger. Unbeknownst to her, the ring was owned by [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Set]], the Egyptian god of chaos. Loveless, who has been seeking the power of Set, [[KidnappedScientist kidnaps]] Professor Botch, leaving it up to the [=ClueFinders=] to rescue their professor and thwart Loveless' EvilPlan to unleash Set and his power of chaos.

* ToothyBird: Horus is portrayed this way.

* PropheciesRhymeAllTheTime: The first section of the game has the Cluefinders seeking out "cairoglyphs" to decode an ancient scroll that will lead them to the next area. Each set of twelve cairoglyphs allows the translation of one of the five rhyming couplets. [[spoiler: If one is willing to brute-force a little bit, this can even be exploited for SequenceBreaking -- the key clue always takes the form of either "X, Y, then X once ''more'', to open up the secret ''door''" or "X, Y, then an ''ear'', to make the secret door ''appear''"]].

* ObviouslyEvil: Even without the name, the above-mentioned Alistair Loveless might just as well be walking around under a neon sign reading "BAD GUY". Humorously enough, even [[Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]] observes in its article on the game that there's something [[{{Parody}} off]] about him. "In one scene, he [[EvilLaugh cackled manically]] for a long time in the typical villain fashion, before coughing and explaining that he swallowed his mint."
