Mummy Mayhem, also known as M.A.T.H. Mummy Mayhem, is a lesson in Minecraft Education and a Marketplace map in Bedrock Edition created by Blockception in collaboration with Cambridge Mathematics.[1] The map is set in ancient Egypt where the player must solve various geometry puzzles to escape the pyramid.
Summary
The player starts the map in their classroom where their teacher is busy explaining the lesson. On the player's desk is the adventurer's journal, and interacting with the map on the wall starts a cutscene. There, the entire class teleports to ancient Egypt next to a pyramid with a hole on the wall. Inside, there is a room made up of mud bricks with a staircase leading down to a larger room. A mound of sandstone contains an element for the journal depicting the triangle stack puzzle. Following the location sign leads to an elevator sending the player to the first room of the pyramid.
Missing blocks puzzle
Inside the room, the player can encounter a lever that lifts a wall upward, revealing an elevator. At the next room, there are some short prismarine pillars with blocks for an artwork on the wall missing some. As the player advances, a demonstration cutscene plays where an archeologist solves the puzzle and presses the scarab button. To solve the puzzle, the player has to carry the right blocks by interacting with them, then placing them in the right spot to complete the pattern. After filling all five gaps correctly and pressing the button, the wall opens to reveal a parkour room made up of wide, spaced pillars above a deep chasm. Reaching the end will give access to an elevator.
Quotes
Take a trip to Egypt in this wonderous world, where a mathematical mummy is said to still roam the ancient sites. Created in partnership with Cambridge Mathematics (cambridgemaths.org) and built by Blockception, you’ll use geometry and symmetry to traverse the tricky tomb and unlock the secrets of the past, hidden away in these puzzling pyramids!
