Red Riding Hood

Welcome back Citizens! Zoe is still waiting out the superhorde in the animal shelter, but she and Phil have a special treat for you. They are going outside... through the power of storytelling because two-thirds of way too many zombies is still too many zombies. They've gone with Little Red Riding Hood this time. Take an imaginary skip down a peaceful forest path with your red hood and basket of treats.

But wait! Is that the Big Bad Wolf up ahead? The wolf tries to lure the girl off the path by extolling the adventures and virtues of straying away. Eventually Red Riding Hood decides to take a detour, and has to squirm through some brambles to reach a meadow. Let's do the same by doing some Inchworms! Red Riding Hood reaches the meadow and is surrounded by beautiful daisies. Now she just has to return to the path.

Red Riding Hood reaches Granny's cottage, but finds the door ajar. She creeps inside and finds her grandmother in bed looking suspiciously furry. Realising that something is wrong, Red Riding Hood backs away from the bed. You can join her by doing some Backward Lunges. Red Riding Hood reaches the door, but the wolf leaps out of bed and starts to give chase!

Unfortunately, while you were listening to music, the wolf ate Red Riding Hood. In the wolf's stomach, she found her grandmother still alive! Time to help them escape with some wolf-fighting Uppercuts. Red Riding Hood and her grandmother escape the wolf's stomach!

The wolf has passed out from the punching, so Red Riding Hood and her grandmother decide to fill his stomach with heavy rocks so he can't hunt down and eat anyone else. You can help them with the rocks by doing some squats. Well done! You've dumped every rock you can into the wolf's stomach.

Great work! In some versions of the story, the wolf chases Red Riding Hood and Grandma across a river, where the rocks caused the wolf to drown. But in this story, the wolf wakes up and realises the error of its ways, then goes to culinary school instead. Phil enjoys being able to rewrite stories to give himself a bit of control, when there is so much outside his control these days. The spirit of invention and optimism can still help you to reach your happily-ever-after!
