The Forbidden Island

Forbidden Island, the popular family game where you have to cooperate. Forbidden Island was the hidden refuge of the Archaeans, an ancient mystical civilization. According to myth, the Archaeans controlled the four elements of the Earth – fire, wind, water and earth – with four sacred treasures the Crystal of Fire, the Statue of Wind, the Chalice of Ocean and the Stone of Earth. Because the treasures would cause catastrophic damage in evil hands, the Archaeans secretly hid them on Forbidden Island and designed it to sink if intruders ever tried to steal them. After the mysterious fall of their empire, Forbidden Island remained hidden for centuries until now.

Your team of adventurers must work together to stop Forbidden Island from sinking, so you have enough time to get the four treasures. Once you have them, you must get to Fool's Land and escape by helicopter to win. But if the island sinks before the mission is complete, you lose. Will your team be the first to enter the island, find the treasures, and make it out alive?
