From Mount Olympus to Litochoro — a handmade puzzle adventure of myth and discovery
At the foot of Mount Olympus, where earth and sky meet, a new handmade creation is born.
The Thunder of Zeus is more than a board game - it’s a mythic experience, a bridge between story, craftsmanship, and mystery.
Blending local legend with tactile gameplay, it invites players to step into a living myth that unfolds among the trails and peaks of the mountain of the Gods.
🌩️ The Story: The Stolen Thunder

The tale begins near Litochoro, beneath the shadow of Olympus.A wanderer, pausing to admire the mountain, suddenly encounters a man descending from the heavens — Zeus himself.The god confides that his great thunderbolt has been stolen.Only a mortal, unnoticed by the divine world, can help retrieve it before chaos spreads across the land.
Thus begins a journey of exploration, logic, and courage, through paths both real and symbolic. From the mountain villages to high-altitude shelters, caves, and ancient hideouts, the traveler must follow clues, solve puzzles, and uncover the truth behind the theft — before the gods awaken.
🗺️ A Journey Across Olympus

Players trace the path of the hero from Litochoro to Prionia, the Ithakios Cave, Petrostrouga, and finally the Muses Plateau.Each location corresponds to a real place on Mount Olympus, reimagined through myth and mystery.
As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that the thief is not an ordinary mortal - but a being of great power, one who seeks to claim Zeus’s might for their own. The player must decipher symbols, unlock mechanisms, and piece together forgotten truths hidden in wooden boxes, coded locks, and ancient carvings.
The higher you climb, the deeper the mystery. And when you finally reach the peak — the summit of Mytikas — the fate of gods and men will be decided in a storm of light and shadow.
