Also in the puzzle box, it contains the hourglass that can tell how long the Little Einsteins will find all three puzzle pieces before all of the sand fell down to the bottom of the hourglass; otherwise, the puzzle won't do the magic! Quincy knew that Rocket tells the great sphinx that he can find all three puzzle pieces before all of the sand falls to the bottom of the hourglass, So Leo got out his baton and told everyone that they've got a mission about finding all three puzzle pieces before all of the sand falls down to the bottom of the sandglass, so they all head inside Rocket, buckle their seat belts, do the pat sequence and BLAST OFF TO SAVE EGYPT ONE LAST TIME!!! The Pharaoh and the Sphinx wish the team a good luck of solving the puzzle.
After they blast off, Annie sing about finding every puzzle piece for the great sphinx and soon, Rocket arrived at the Nile River and heard the first puzzle piece which came down the Nile River, So Rocket land on the Nile River and transforms into boat with paddles this time. Soon, they heard the first puzzle piece, which is located at the Aswan High Dam and they also heard a Nile Crocodile who's chasing the Little Einsteins down the Nile River again for revenge! So instead of patting on the lap, June uses her arms to roll around and help Rocket's paddles to paddle faster and the Nile Crocodile goes faster so June has to roll her arms even faster which makes Rocket's paddle to spin faster and as the Nile Crocodile still tries to catch up with Rocket June rolls her arm as fast as she can which makes Rocket's paddles to spins faster and soon, Rocket got the first puzzle piece with his grab nabber as Rocket transforms back to it's normal shape while the Nile Crocodile get his snout stuck between Aswan High Dam!
Rocket heads back to the sphinx and put the first puzzle piece and soon, part of the snowflake picture shows up and soon, the Little Einsteins had to find two more pieces while the hourglass time is almost up so they're off to find the second piece of the puzzle.
Afterward, Annie sang about finding every puzzle piece once again and soon, they heard the second piece of the puzzle piece which came from the temple of Ramesses III so Rocket land outside of the temple of Ramesses III and they all head out of Rocket and inside the temple of Ramesses III. Soon, they arrived at the music sign and Quincy told that the puzzle piece song contains fourteen notes, so at the first path, it contains six notes but the puzzle piece song isn't the first path so Quincy listens down the second path that contains fourteen notes and the second path is the puzzle piece song, so they all head down the fourteen notes path and saw the second puzzle piece which is on the statue head and Rocket retrieve it with his grab nabber. Leo told everyone to bring the second puzzle piece back to sphinx, so they all head back to Rocket and blast off as Annie sang about finding every puzzle piece once again.
Once they're back, Rocket told the great sphinx that he found the second puzzle piece and place on the puzzle piece and more picture of the snowflake shows up. But the time is almost up, because most of the sand is at the bottom of the hourglass and they still had to find the last puzzle piece. So Rocket left the great sphinx.
Soon, they heard the last puzzle piece which came from the Egyptian tree and bounce toward the three great pyramids, so Rocket puts out his pogo bouncer as Annie sings Aida and Rocket bounces over the first pyramid. Soon, they approach the second bigger pyramid so Annie sings Aida louder and longer which made Rocket bounce higher over the second pyramid! And soon, Rocket bounces towards the third biggest pyramid so Annie sings Aida as loud as she can and as long as she can! And soon, Rocket got the last piece of the puzzle! Then, Rocket put out his display screen and shows that the great sphinx warns the whole team to hurry back, because the time of the hourglass is almost expired and they're so far away or else, the puzzle won't do the magic!
