Game: Hunt The Wumpus : Global Edition

HTW:GE - Track down the Wumpus in a maze of caverns, with your friends (or foes) in this multiplayer, text-based suspense thriller! The closer you are to the Wumpus, the louder and faster its heartbeat as it senses your approach. Use this to your advantage and kill the beast before it gets you! Connects to a central server by default, or connect to others or run your own server with the supplied files. ** Winner of the Edinburgh Scottish Jam #sgj13 #edi Thanks for all the interest! **
