About the Game

2023 Best family game at the German Computer Game Award

The Magical Floating Fortress is an interactive picture book that takes even the youngest members of the family on an entertaining journey with its child-friendly story. Three siblings set off to find their beloved chicken Berta. In the process, they stumble across the mysterious Fortress, in which magical rooms await the young adventurers alongside crazy instruments. The conflicts that arise in the course of the story bring action to the gaming experience, but are never overwhelming or frightening. At the end of each chapter, a short quiz offers the opportunity to playfully test the child's attention and understanding of the text.

In 12 exciting chapters, you can accompany the three siblings as they explore the magical floating fortress and search for their missing hen Berta in a snow-covered river landscape.
