Won the 2007 Dutch Toy of the Year award for Ages 8-12. Challenge the mysteries of the House of Anubis and try to avoid the watchful eyes of Victor. The first one to collect the 6 secret tokens and get back to his/her room is the winner. In each turn, a player draws a card and plays a card, trying to locate the tokens. Some cards are movement cards, others help in finding the tokens, yet others are keys that help open doors or theft cards that enable a player to steal a key from another player.
