Delphi no Shintaku (デルフォイの神託, translated as "The Delphic Oracle") is the only "Quiz Adventure Game" produced by Eiji Fukuzawa. Its namesake is a reference to priestesses of Apollo who were said to be the oracles for the god.

The protagonist, an emissary of an ancient Egyptian king, is tasked with visiting the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and reporting his findings to the king.

Gameplay[]

The game is simple, with controls for movement through the world screen or keyboard. Players can interact with townspeople, who provide hints for locating the Seven Mysteries. They must answer two-question trivia quizzes within a ten-second time limit. Talismans can be earned by completing random quizzes and can be used to delete false answers.

Figures before the Seven Mysteries may ask three questions about their artifact. Guardians may pose mini-game challenges, and failures may lead to easier secondary challenges. After completing the main story, players can restart the story or start a new account.
