Melanie Ross and April Hall, along with several other neighborhood children. They begin to play
a game about the Egyptians in the Professor's backyard. While there are many rises and falls
within the plot, there is an obvious rising action, , and falling action within the story. The
rising action of a story is when excitement builds, the conflict increases, and suspense rises.

mysteriously answered. The final aspect of the rising action is when it is discovered that a
murdered in town has taken the lives of two children. The climax of a story is the point where
the plot reaches a turning point. In The Egypt Game, this is when April is
attacked by the serial killer. The falling action of a story is characterized by the resolution
of the climax and by the wrapping up of loose ends. In The Egypt Game, the
falling action is when the serial killer is captured, April and Marshall escape with their
lives, and the professor is cleared of blame. The children find out that the professor has been
