About this game

Goblins Quest 3 is a puzzle adventure and the third entry in the Gobliiins series. The story follows Blount, a goblin reporter investigating a mysterious labyrinth while bizarre events affect Queen Xina, King Bodd, and the labyrinth’s missing guardian’s daughter.

Gameplay focuses on solving complex tasks in compact areas rather than extensive exploration. Most levels span multiple screens with limited movement between locations. Unlike earlier entries, this installment centers on a single controllable goblin, though Blount receives help from characters including Chump the parrot, Ooya the magician, and Fulbert the snake.

Blount’s werewolf transformation, along with other mutations and dramatic changes in size, becomes part of the puzzle-solving challenge. The game was developed by Coktel Vision and published by Sierra On-Line.
