About This Game

In a lovestruck attempt to impress the history teacher, Professor Raventhorpe invents a time-traveling elevator to retrieve Nefertari's Tiara from the distant past. But when Ari stops by for extra credit, he’s swept into a world-hopping adventure that spans centuries—along the way, you’ll face Belzoni, history’s greatest tomb raider, who’s equally eager to claim the Tiara!

Ari Buktu (pronounced “Ari Buck-Too”) delivers a heartwarming 2.5D adventure with the spectacle of a summer blockbuster, created by a former Disney ride designer. This 4‑hour single‑player experience is stacked with hidden collectibles, humorous banter, and warm nostalgic vibes.

Laugh, discover hidden treasures, and unravel mysteries in this epic, one-of-a-kind, story-driven adventure that is a fantastic coming-of-age tale for everyone.

Dare to dash through ancient tombs, swing across treacherous canyons, ride the runaway Anytime Elevator, escape on minecarts, trek through dense jungles, uncover lost relics, and solve hands-on puzzles. Just watch your step—one missed step and you're toast!

Dive into 6 hand-crafted "floors" where the zany charm of Saturday morning cartoons collides with the thrill of a theme park ride—delivering an experience like no other game.

Team up with Professor Raventhorpe (voiced by Ray O’Hare) to conquer time and save history, while Joe Gaudet’s portrayal of Ari steals your heart and a sweeping orchestral soundtrack amplifies every thrill.

Wishlist Ari Buktu today and get ready to claim Nefertari’s Tiara—before history repeats itself!
