Description official description
Patterned after the reality TV show The Amazing Race, this multiple-choice adventure challenges players (and their sidekick) to travel through numerous points in Peru in search of clues needed to progress to subsequent rounds of The Race. Not only does the player's team need to overcome each problem, but quickly -- the last international team on each step of the gauntlet gets disqualified! Some obstacles will depends on the player character's statistics (the game begins with a character-generating Q&A), some on the abilities of the sidekick selected, and others (eg. math and cipher problems) on the intellectual acumen of the player themself!
