About Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse - Episode 2: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak

Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse - Episode 2: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak is an adventure and point-and-click game developed and published by Telltale Games, released on 18 May 2010.

Episode 2 of an epic 5 game saga. After facing a pillaging primate from outer space in the series premiere, Sam & Max cross paths with even stranger characters in this episode -- their own great-grandparents! In Episode 2 of the series, our heroes cross paths with an even more bizarre and dangerous pair of characters—their own great-grandparents! Join these characters as they embark on their trippiest trip yet, leapfrogging across ten decades and possibly as many continents (we haven’t counted) in search of the mysterious force that’s causing all the trouble. Where did it come from? Why is it triggering Max's latent psychic powers? Why is it desired by everyone aboard the Disorient Express? And what, exactly, is the Secret of the Sphunx? * Episode 1: The Penal Zone * Episode 2: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak * Episode 3: They Stole Max's Brain! * Episode 4: Beyond the Alley of the Dolls * Episode 5: The City That Dares Not Sleep - Finale

The episode begins where The Penal Zone ended, when Sam and Max find two skeletons similar to themselves. Inside, they also find a reel of film and an odd-looking projector and turn it on. The film turns out to be from 1901 and about Sameth and Maximus, Sam and Max's great-grandparents, who are in the tomb and manage to steal The Devil's Toybox. When Max touches the projector, he and Sam are psychically transported into the movie. As they are about to leave with it, they are ambushed by Kringle and hide behind an altar as he holds them at gunpoint. They trick him into leaving using Maximus' psychic powers and go up the the tomb entrance, but are unable to read the hieroglyphics above it to open it and are shot by Kringle off-screen. Figuring that they came into the film in the middle of the story, Sam and Max switch to another reel and begin living their great-grandparents adventure.
