The theme of the game is based on the Ramayan, an epic that narrates the story of Rama, the seventh avatar of the Hindu God Vishnu. Sita has been kidnapped by Ravana! Your task is to find and rescue her. But in order to do that you must first find Rama, Lakshmana and Hanuman before Ravana reveals his ten heads! Else, your rescue mission will be a failure. The first one to reach Sita wins!

In order to find all these characters players need to answer riddles related to Indian Culture, Festivals, Symbols, Gods & Goddesses.
