House of Anubis

Anubis House is a residence at an English boarding school, built in the 1890s as part of an estate by Egyptologist Robert Frobisher-Smythe.

On the same day, a new girl from America named Nina Martin joins the school under a scholarship and replaces Joy as Patricia's new roommate.

However, when Nina walks Sarah back to the retirement home she lives in the Head Carer calls her Emily.

The cylinders are diary recordings made by Sarah during and after her parents' trip to Egypt to uncover Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922.

Nina, Fabian and Amber form a secret group, 'Sibuna' (Anubis backwards), and later initiate prankster Alfie Lewis and Patricia, who is eager to learn how the relics are connected to Joy's disappearance.

They removed Joy from school, and destroyed evidence of her existence, to protect her from Rufus, revealed to be a former member of the society who will stop at nothing in his quest for immortality.

The Sibunas discover a chamber of tunnels underneath the house that contain a series of puzzles and tasks in order to progress, including swinging scythe-like pendulums over a chasm and a game of Senet using players as pieces.

Alongside the group, Victor is also searching for the mask as he believes that it holds the missing ingredient for the elixir of life – tears of gold.

To obtain the Book of Isis that contains the recipe for the elixir, Victor instructs Mr Sweet to gain an Egyptian Exhibition.

When Amber leaves for fashion school, Sibuna is revived with Eddie as a leader and Fabian, K.T., Patricia and Alfie as members.

They find out that some individuals are trying to reawaken a sleeping Robert Frobisher-Smythe, with Denby being the "Keeper" (she keeps Frobisher in the tank room in the gatehouse, her home on the school property), Victor being the "Enabler" and Mr. Sweet being the "Seeker".

Everybody thinks that the ceremony didn't work out since Sibuna intervened just in time, but when Caroline goes to the gatehouse to pack her bags, she meets Frobisher, who is reawakened and evil.

In the finale special Touchstone of Ra, the Anubis House residents are preparing for their graduation; however, their joyous celebration plans are cut short with the arrival of four [freshmen] fourth years who move in early – Cassie, Erin, Dexter and Sophia.

Back at the house, Victor announces that an artifact from the museum was stolen, and the Touchstone suddenly appears to be in Eddie's possession.

At the graduation ceremony, Mara is manipulated by an unknown force when she wears the valedictorian medal (which is actually an artifact discovered by Alfie).

At the house, the Sibunas team up with Victor to find the remaining pillars of the Pyramid to stop Sophia from accomplishing her goal.

Since Victor's "destiny" was to prevent the pyramid from ever being built, he decides to leave the house for good that evening as the students celebrate their graduation party.
