2 of 5: -- you'll find yourself given the choice of four different reels, or time periods in the past. To some degree, you can take them in any order you want. As you might have guessed, you won't be able to finish any of them straight off; you'll need to bounce back and forth between times to solve the puzzles.
3 of 5: I find it easiest to pick a reel, go through it till I either come across a solution to an earlier problem or get completely stuck, then change reels. The path I generally follow is this:
4 of 5: -- Reel 3 (The Standoff) till you reach the hieroglyphics -- Reel 1 (The Challenge of the Sphunx) till you get the hieroglyphics translation -- Reel 2 (The Train to Egypt) till you have a noisy trunk -- Reel 3 (The Standoff) to (The Journey Home) to the end -- Reel 1 (The Challenge of the Sphunx) to the end -- Reel 2 (The Train to Egypt) to (In the Tomb) to the end -- Reel 4 (The Big Reward)
5 of 5: But it really doesn't matter which path you take; go in whatever order pleases you, you crazy monkey.
