Please fill in answer below:

This game is about how the heroes succeed in getting the gemstone from Patras. Players will be able to choose one of the heroes that they like to get the gemstone. Once the heroes are chosen they will be send to Patras. There will be 5 stages of challenge in order to get the gemstones. As there will be three heroes each one of them will have their own plus and minus point. It will take some days to get the gemstone thus, the hero’s needs to get their basic needs. These basic needs will be given if they pass some small challenges on their way to Patras. So the player needs to get points in order to feed the heroes because if the heroes are not given anything to keep their energy level they will die half way and the game is over. Through the 5 stages of challenges, there will be certain part where the heroes will be able to gain some magic power depend on the player.
