Bump!
Shurra:
this was an interesting experience. I enjoyed it a lot.
I am a Language (Spanish) and Literature teacher, and one of the big problems we have in the classrooms in my country is promoting reading and reading comprehension.
This may seem silly, but what you did is actually a great reading and comprehension activity. It is simple, but very well structured. It's effective and keeps people interested in what's next.
I congratulate you and thank you for the great time I had solving all this and for the giveaways.

I'm really pleased to hear that. In my school days in Germany, we often had to read books in German lessons and later write short sentences about what the book/story was about. When I was working on the story and the ideas for the puzzles, I had to think about that...so I decided to include a quiz so that the story would be read and included.
I'm not gifted when it comes to literature, but I do my best. :)

Hello Steamgift family!
EDIT: You can play this while you solve everything. or this.
Are you a real gamer? Then show me your skills by facing my story and solving all the quests and puzzles. I would be delighted if you would join in. It took me several days to create the story, the pictures for the puzzles and everything else to make it fit together.
It's my first attempt to connect a story with a puzzle, I try not to make it too difficult, so that not experienced people have a chance. As you progress, the story will continue piece by piece. A little perseverance is required, I tried to make everything as short as possible, but I also wanted to create something nice. I recommend anyone who has little time or wants to take a break to continue later to save the page where they last stopped.
You must be at least [LVL 1] on Steamgift to participate!
The story is important, otherwise you won't get any further.
You have enough time, the giveaways will run for 4 weeks. (Until June 18th)
Your to do list step by step:
There are 26 games in the train. I'll only reveal the first 7:
I hope, I haven't forgotten anything.
The story:
Shurraxxo and the magic diamond
Once upon a time there was a warrior called Shurraxxo. He was known for his kind heart and loving nature. Despite his strength and courage, he was always kind to the people around him. He was a symbol of hope in a world ruled by a dark and cruel king.
The king was a tyrant who only brought suffering and misery to the world. He ruled with an iron fist and allowed no one to question his power. The people lived in constant fear and despair, but they hoped for the day when someone would be brave enough to confront the king.
Shurraxxo was that someone. He had made a firm decision to defeat the king and free the world from his tyranny. But to defeat the king, he needed the magic diamond. According to legend, this diamond only grants magical powers to a chosen one who holds it in their hand. After the great war, it seemed to have disappeared and no one knew where it was.
Shurraxxo had no magical abilities, only someone with magical powers can take on the Dark King. There was a time when there were magicians, but the Dark King defeated them all, draining their powers and absorbing them into himself. The diamond is the only option left to us. Whoever is in possession of the diamond gains unimaginable magical powers that are on a par with those of the "Dark King".
Shurraxxo began his search for the diamond. He crossed deserts, swam across oceans, climbed the highest mountains and explored the deepest caves. He encountered many dangers and challenges, but his determination never wavered.
Years passed and Shurraxxo was still searching for the diamond. He had visited many places and met many people, but the diamond remained elusive. But Shurraxxo didn't give up. He knew that the diamond was out there somewhere and he would find it, no matter how long it took.
And so Shurraxxo is still searching for the magic diamond today. His journey is not yet over and no one knows when or where he will find the diamond. But one thing is certain: Shurraxxo will not stop searching until he has found the diamond and freed the world from the tyranny of the "Dark King".
Now it's your turn!
You are a traveler, you arrive in a city far away from the kingdom. Since you like reading books, you go to a library. You search the shelves for old books, as you have always been interested in the old legends and stories about the kingdom. You are standing at a bookshelf in the far corner, someone walks past you and bumps into you. You bang against the shelf and a book falls on your head. When you regain your senses, you see the open book lying in front of you. It is an old, dusty book. There is a small diamond on one of the pages.
In this book it is written that after the great war when the magic diamond had disappeared, an old magician once went in search of the diamond. He believed that the magic diamond was still somewhere on the battlefield, probably buried deep underground or soaring high in the sky near the Dark King's castle. The diamond only seems to reveal itself when a chosen one, whom it deems worthy, seeks its proximity, only then will it show itself, according to the legend. The magician searched for him, but unfortunately he was no longer the youngest and when the king became aware that a magician was wandering around near his castle, he withdrew his powers. So there was no one left who could or rather wanted to look for it.
You turn to the next page and there is a folded cloth inside, with only one word written on it: "Candlelight". It makes you curious, so you light a candle and hold the cloth in front of the candlelight. Astonished, you realize that it is a map with a cross drawn on it. You assume that this map must be from the old magician who planned to search for the diamond in this place. Now set off on your journey, find the starting point to begin.
Have fun and good luck!
