Round 16: You take the ancient key and proceed towards the Queen's castle, feeling a sense of accomplishment and hope. As you approach the grand entrance, the castle guards stop you, their stern expressions unwavering. They demand to know your purpose for being there. What would you like to do? 1. Show them the ancient key and explain your quest to find a way back home. 2. Try to sneak past the guards without engaging in conversation. 3. Retreat and find another way to enter the castle.

Round 17: You show the guards the ancient key and explain your quest to find a way back home. They exchange glances and then step aside, allowing you to enter the Queen's castle. As you step inside, you feel a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. The castle is filled with opulence and grandeur, but also an air of tension. You continue to explore, searching for any signs or clues that might lead you closer to your goal. Suddenly, you hear a voice behind you. "So, you've come seeking a way back home, have you?" You turn around to see the Cheshire Cat perched on a nearby ledge, its grin wide and mischievous. "I might be able to help you, but first, you must solve my riddle." The Cheshire Cat presents you with a riddle, and your task is to solve it to win the game. {Please provide your answer to the riddle.}

I'm sorry, but that is not the correct answer to the Cheshire Cat's riddle. The Cheshire Cat disappears with a mischievous laugh, leaving you standing there in the Queen's castle. Without the correct answer, you are unable to proceed and find your way back home. GAME OVER. Thank you for playing! If you enjoyed playing, please consider zapping this post or account.
