Find the Dead Mummy

Find the Dead Mummy is a flash screamer game uploaded on the Newgrounds website on January 12, 2006 by user Whyisyoufailschool. The user deleted it 6 years later, but it has been circulated on the now-closed website Cool Games.

After you click the ”Play” button, a sinister voiceover reads the text “70 years ago, at this very place in Hawaii, a mummy was buried next to an old shack. The mummy was buried by 2 villagers underneath a burial ground that has not been visited ever since. Legends not only say that whoever visits the ground today, they will be cursed by the mummy’s spirit who is still alive to this day, but also that the mummy was actually a trespasser from Harlem, Barnaby Kleiman. Now, it’s your job in this game to find the mummy, who is hiding somewhere random in this place. We won’t tell you what it is. Only you have to figure it out. And, to hear some tips on how to find the mummy easier, turn up your volume to the highest possible. Have fun.” This happens while the theme to the horror movie It’s Alive plays in low tone.

As the game begins, you see a background of a map of Hawaii. You find the mummy throughout different objects. The wrong objects are a lamp, a Hawaiian skirt, a model of Leonardo DaVinci’s airplane, and a tree. The right object is a picture of an asleep cartoon man on the bottom-right corner of the screen.

When you click on it, an extremely close-up, seizure-inducing picture of a skeleton with bloodshot eyes and a flame next to it appears with an extremely loud, high-pitched, and ear-piercing screech. After 30 seconds, text comes saying “We got you!“ and a button to play again.
