Mysterious Cities of Gold. Esteban and this girl, Zia, a descendant of a descendant, read Skipi. I like fairy tales like that, like Atlantis. Like I told you, there was a fairy tale about mysterious cities of gold. No, no. And these are fairy tales that are not only fun to watch and use friendly language. Made for, let's say, a younger audience, but they also teach you about, for example, those mysterious cities of gold, which I watched as a kid. It was a fairy tale, I showed you, well, it wasn't that fairy tale, and it was about them searching for the golden city of this legendary El Dorado. Like that. No, no. And thanks to that, I learned about El Dorado, the gold, about the confiscators, about everything that ruled there, about the Olmacs, about the Mayans.

A fun puzzle game. I was a big fan of the show growing up, so it holds extra nostalgic value for me. I like how Estaban, Zia, and Tao have slightly different abilities, so you need to think through who to send to different parts of the maze sometimes :)
