Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s time to Walk Like an Egyptian through time as the Time Travel Toaster has flashed us into the Egyptian Era! We’ve got roaming Pharaohs, Sarcophagus, Temples and Pyramids!
You can tell EA is trying to do a few things different with this event…for starters it’s a week shorter and there are more prize elements, but it’s really the Excavation Site that people are digging…see what I did there?
The Excavation Game has Tappers everywhere talking…about the best strategy, how many moves they can find the Gem in and apparently it’s become almost as addicting as this site !;)
So let’s breakdown the details of the Excavation Site changes that rolled in with the Egyptian Era….
As a reminder we broke down, in great detail, the how tos of the Excavation Site during the Prehistoric Era here. Not much has changed for the Egyptian Era, except instead of fossils now it pays out Papyri and the prizes have changed.
Now let’s breakdown the Egyptian Era Excavation Site Prizes…
These prizes are just for the Egyptian Era and they will reset when the next Era hits…
There are 5 total prizes….
