Egyptian temples, Pharaohs, Mummies and other ancient creatures.
- The first is a series of mini-games called Bungee Mummy Challenges. This is free to download and currently contains four mini-games with different types of challenges for players.

This is a level-based adventure-puzzler in which players must navigate their character through various levels and worlds while avoiding pitfalls and traps along the way.

A dedictaed website for this game is already online at http://bungeemummy.com.
Once released a basic version for both games will be available for free through the Company’s website http://steampunkwizards.com, via Android (through Google and Amazon) and via Apple (through the iOS Store), while additional features and higher levels will be available for purchase.
