Kanaloa's Curse

“Kanaloa’s Curse” is new adventure game designed to captivate the imaginations of young Hawaiians and visitors alike. This game is an innovative puzzle hunt designed for children aged 6-11 (though we also find that a lot of casual players enjoy this game as well). It seamlessly blends fun, education, and Hawaiian culture, offering an experience unlike any other. Named after Kanaloa, the revered Hawaiian god of the ocean, the game takes players on a journey through a series of puzzles and challenges within the Marriott Waikiki. Each task is carefully crafted to foster teamwork, problem-solving, and an appreciation for the natural world and Hawaiian heritage. The primary goal is to educate and entertain children by connecting them to their cultural roots and the land (aina). Through a series of engaging puzzles and activities, children learn about Hawaiian mythology and history, fostering a sense of cultural pride and connection. The mission is to find the missing words from the chant that can break the curse of the treasure chest and then return the chest to open it and extract its treasures.

This game was originally designed for younger kids but is also enjoyed by casual players and has even been translated into Japanese and Chinese.

If you have kids from the ages of 6 to 12, this game is a great way to enjoy the Scaventour puzzles. It is a 45-minute adventure in the Marriott, where you have to solve 9 puzzles to finish the chant. This game has an exciting finish that will be enjoyed by all ages.
