About the show

Explore Bobby Seagull’s family puzzle adventure, with official artwork, the story and information about its completed summer 2026 performances.

Bobby Seagull’s Escape from Ancient Egypt turns a trip inside a pyramid into an interactive family puzzle. When Bobby becomes trapped, the audience helps him work through clues and find a way out.

History, numbers and teamwork

The show combines storytelling with mathematical challenges and facts about Ancient Egypt. Hidden chambers, coded messages and objects from the past become part of the puzzle, with children and accompanying adults invited to think through the solutions together.
