Description from the packaging.

"Once in a while, a program comes along that transcends itself. The Fool's Errand is one such program." - Donald Brown, MacGuide

"Cliff Johnson has taken computer gaming, turned it inside out and upside down, and redefined the state of the art to a new high in achievement."

The award-winning Fool's Errand is a game like no other. It tells the enchanting story of the fool in his search for wisdom, intertwined with over 80 original puzzles: graphic, word, logic, and more.

Each unique puzzle is woven into the threads of the unraveling story. The puzzles give you pieces of the sun's map. But the map is a puzzle as well. And there are more puzzles that lie hidden in the map.

You figure it out.

And when you do, you will be rewarded with a four-minute animated finale.

You have earned it.

Here are a few of the enchantments that await you...
