[1] The player must find the four fire, earth, air and water scepters hidden across the Kingdom, and return them to the Wizard.

There is no movement in the picture, but enemies are inserted when encountered, accompanied by sound effects.

The player can then choose from a drop down menu whether to flee, and which way (north, south, east or west and occasionally up or down), or to fight, and with which weapon.

Enchanted Scepters was created with the World Builder adventure authoring system which was later released to consumers in 1986.

[citation needed] In 1990, a fangame titled Lost Crystal was released that was also developed using the World Builder engine and that took up the plot of Enchanted Scepters.
