The sinister sorcerer Ravenhorst has locked up
the princess in the tower and hidden the key somewhere
in the forest. However, Brave Robin
has already begun to search for it: does the key
lie under a rock or is it hidden between flowers?
In this three-dimensional game, sixteen openings
in the board are covered with little tiles.
Together, the players move a magnetic game
piece from tile to tile. When they hear a „click“,
Robin has found the correct hiding place and
must now use the key to try to open one of six
identical-looking locks on the tower. If he selects
the right one, the princess jumps up in the air
for joy. However, if the team chooses the wrong
lock, the magician gets to hide the key all over
again. Teamwork and a good memory are called
for in this beautifully appointed magnetic game.
The jury’s explanation:
When the princess jumps
for joy right out of the
tower, it makes for a “key”
experience every time.
With the race through the
forest, the authors create
a maximum of excitement:
Where is the key hidden?
In which keyhole will it fit? What will come out
on top, the persistence of Robin’s team or the
subtlety of Ravenhorst the
sorcerer? These questions
fascinate young and old in
this well-appointed memory
game, which is also ideal
for just two players.
