Synopsis

Plot

Walking home from school is mostly okay, except for one big problem: Every day you have to pass right by Mrs. Pepper’s house. She may not actually be a witch, but she sure acts like one. She’s ugly and crabby, and she seems to go out of her way to cause trouble for you. The time she came at you with the garden rake, swinging it like it was a giant claw ... you still shudder when you think of it.

Last Friday was a new low. You would never, ever skateboard in her driveway — that would be practically suicidal. But somehow when you got to the driveway your skateboard swerved, all by itself, as if somebody had put a spell on it. And then you fell off.

While you were picking grit out of the ugly scrape on your skinned elbow, Mrs. Pepper appeared out of nowhere and snatched up your skateboard! She screeched something about rowdy children, trespassing, and needing to be taught a lesson. She swung the skateboard at you like it was a bat, and then ran off with it, cackling. Afterward you rang her doorbell for what seemed like an hour, begging her to give the skateboard back, and she wouldn’t even come to the door.

And now it’s Monday afternoon, and here you are, on your way home from school as usual (but with no skateboard). Just up ahead is Mrs. Pepper’s driveway...

This is an ideal game for beginners. It has examples of most of the standard puzzles found in text adventures (using magical items, repairing machinery, talking to NPCs etc).
