Part 1 of a 2 part set of puzzle games that claimed to provided players clues towards the location of a £30,000 prize which is displayed on the front cover, a golden hare.

The hare had previously been used as the prize for whoever could solve the puzzles in the book 'Masquerade' by Kit Williams. The person who found the hare from the book later went on to found Haresoft, the company that created this game, although there were allegations that he cheated in order to solve the book.

The game reviewed and sold poorly, with many claiming that it was split into 2 parts simply to make more money, and the hare was never found.
