Seekers Notes kicks off new Ancient Egyptian mysteries for summer

Summer is just kicking off, and already we've had a bevvy of new updates in top releases ready for the hottest part of the year. But Mytona, the developers behind Seekers Notes, seem to think that the average summer update just isn't enough. So now, they're switching the focus to none other than Ancient Egypt.

Yes, in this latest update, there's nowhere hotter than the depths of the North-African desert. You'll be challenged by a whole new location, Sphinx Hall, which plays host to themed challenges with rewards and creatures to gather. Reckon you can solve the riddles of the ancients? You'll have to jump in and find out.

There's even more to enjoy besides the new Ancient Egypt-themed challenges, of course. There's the updated summer Darkwood Mail and daily gifts to celebrate Darkwood Day. Meanwhile, you can also grab a new Desk Guardian with Caramel the Camel. Be sure to check out the new Darkwood Stories event and Magister's Path guild competition too!

The hidden object genre is a very popular one, but it's rare to see a long-term success on mobile. Usually, it's more premium releases, such as the Golden Idol series, which tend to be one and done. So Seekers Notes joins a relatively short list of ongoing adventures in that sense.

The new Ancient Egypt mysteries have been teased extensively, and promise some sort of time-bending adventure to solve. It's rather fitting this is coming as the weather is heating up, although no doubt the challenge will be hotter than ever for fans of Seekers Notes!
