Quest

Peppermint, your family pig, has gone missing. Can you find her?

This is a family-oriented, mathematically-based, puzzle-driven, text adventure. It is built around the successful 1980s game, Giantkiller, adding more story content, tailoring the puzzles to match, and avoiding all unwinnable positions. Complain if you find otherwise!

I came to this immediately after L Too, which is a tough act to follow. The puzzles here aren't as doable, which I think ia a problem with the online version. Because I couldn't be sure I was encountering the puzzles in the form they were intended to be, I had to give up without finishing. For that reason, I don't think it is fair to rate this - so ignore the rating, I can't put n/a in the stars, so I have put 4.

I loved the mathematical puzzles, indeed one of them stimulated me to write some Python. Keep up the good work. I'll have another go at a later date.

Very interesting, with a great concept and great output. I enjoyed the small mini games and quirks of the adventure. Great for anyone interested in math, enjoying math, or simply wanting to improve their math and logic skills! Thank you for a fantastic game.

Wonderful game for anyone who would like to help younger ones develop math skills. Also great for sharpening problem solving skills. Would be a great help to home schoolers who need a break from the normal homework and would like to help generate interest in school work without making it look like school work. Lots of fun. Well written with just enough hints and clues to assist you along without coming out and giving away the answers. Will make even the good mathmaticians think a little bit. Overaall alot of phone as well as educational. Be sure to pay close attention as you play the game. You can't make it unwinable. You can always scroll back and review what you have missed if you do overlook something. Well worth playing more than once since some of the puzzles are made new with each new game.
