Talking about the game Ishaan P A, Student, Ekya School J P Nagar said “During my spare time in the lockdown, I came up with this idea of developing a game to bring family closer, socialise and refrain from online games or social media. My passion about games motivated me to come up with this board game. The entire process took one year from the design phase to bringing the idea into a reality.

I distributed the games to my friends and neighbours to get feedback and everyone enjoyed it. In future I have plans to develop more games.”

The proud parents of Ishaan, said, “We appreciate the efforts made by the school and the faculty at Ekya J P Nagar for encouraging students to think out of the box and providing the necessary support in nurturing their talent. This is in turn helping the students to grow in academics as well as other aspects of life. We are proud of Ishaan’s ability to give life to his imagination and develop this game.”

Temple of Thiruvananthapuram has 6 Vaults hidden inside, waiting to be discovered and cracked open with lots and lots of treasures.
