Every labyrinth hides a story

One of the features I enjoy designing in Quiz Hero Chinese Numbers is the labyrinth system.

Throughout Aetheria, Kai will discover hidden labyrinths that offer optional challenges beyond the main adventure.

Some contain valuable treasure chests.

Others hide useful rewards that can help on the journey ahead.

But reaching those treasures won't always be easy.

Each labyrinth encourages players to explore carefully, pay attention to their surroundings, and choose their path wisely.

I like including these moments because they reward curiosity rather than speed.

Exploration has always been an important part of adventure games, and I wanted Aetheria to feel like a world where taking a different path can lead to something unexpected.

Of course, Kai won't face these challenges alone.

With Bao Bao by his side—and perhaps a little persistence—you may discover treasures that many travelers never find.

What kind of optional secrets do you enjoy discovering most in RPGs?

• Hidden treasure rooms?

• Secret passages?

• Powerful equipment?

• Pieces of world lore?

I'd love to hear what makes exploration exciting for you.
