About
Dive into the mystical world of "Kanaloa's Curse," an immersive scavenger hunt game set in the Waikiki Marriott. Designed for keiki (children) aged 8-10, this game is steeped in the lore of Kanaloa, the revered Hawaiian god of the ocean. Legend has it that Kanaloa, seeking to protect the island's treasures, cast a spell over a hidden trove, cursing it until worthy adventurers could prove their respect for the land, sea, and the bonds of friendship.
Throughout this engaging quest, young players will encounter a series of puzzles and challenges, each one drawing them closer to understanding the true spirit of Hawaii and the essence of Kanaloa's teachings. From navigating intricate mazes to solving environmental-themed puzzles, each activity is designed to promote teamwork, problem-solving, and a deep appreciation for the natural world. The adventure reaches its climax as the children recite a special Hawaiian chant, breaking the curse and revealing the concealed treasure. "Kanaloa's Curse" is more than just a game; it's an interactive journey that weaves together fun, education, and the rich tapestry of Hawaiian mythology.
