How It Begins

You might be anyone, carrying a dollar bill, and enjoying your day at the carnival. You are surrounded by people, signs, and booths; the carnival extends in all directions. You really want to win a prize at one of the booths.

Notable Features

Minimal approach to world building. Most things mentioned in room descriptions are just scenery, and the entire carnival is implemented in just three locations. Atmospheric messages are used to add a suitable carnival atmosphere to the game, and the endless field technique is used to make the carnival seem larger than it really is.
Only one puzzle.
