The plot

El Señor de la Maldad (English: The Lord of Evil) steals a magic talisman. A team of four young people, with the help of a magician, try to regain it.

Gameplay

One contestant would wear a helmet, which would block their vision. This contestant would then enter a computer-generated castle (which was accomplished by chromakey technology). Every room of the castle contained a physical or mental challenge and the blinded contestant, guided by their team mates and the magician, would attempt to defeat it. Failure to do so caused a virtual "death" and the contestant would be replaced by another member of the team. The game was lost if all four members of the team "died". The final room contained El Señor de la Maldad and the contestant would have to face him head on, without wearing the helmet. For successfully defeating him, the contestant would retrieve the talisman and win the game.

The Prizes

During the first season, teams would win various Sega video game consoles. In later seasons they won computers.
