Gustavinho em... o Enigma da Esfinge (English: "Gus in... the Sphinx Enigma") is a 1996 Brazilian educational adventure video game developed by 44 Bico Largo and created by Ale McHaddo.[1] The plot revolves around the adventures of Gustavinho, who travels through Eurasia on a quest to return home, meeting historical figures like Julius Caesar and Cleopatra along the way.[2][3]

In commemoration of the game's 20th anniversary, it was remade on iOS in 2013 and Android in 2017, with HD graphics and new dubbing.[4][5][6][7]

According to Ale McHaddo, the game was developed with the aim of stimulating children's reasoning skills in a playful way.[8]
