Trials of Wisdom was created by the Sydney Opera House and takes place inside the famed venue. When the game begins, you are taken into the maze of backstage rooms underneath the opera house and you need to solve puzzles and riddles to move to the next room. There is a password that has to be figured out in each room. Many of the puzzles and riddles incorporate classical music references.
