The Gauntlet

A trio of friends from New York City find themselves trapped inside a mechanical board game called The Gauntlet of Blood and Sand. Twelve-year-old Farah, along with her two best friends, must solve the puzzle-like game and defeat its diabolical architect, Lord Amari, to save themselves and other trapped children, including Farah's baby brother Ahmed. Guided by a lizard named Henrietta Peel and an aeronaut named Vijay, the group faces various challenges such as camel spiders and red scorpions. They must figure out how to dismantle the game and stop Lord Amari before they become permanent parts of the game.
