The mystery of the Wachootoo's sacred white bat awaits you deep in the jungle. Explore the Mayan temple, decode the totems and unlock the secret of the forgotten sanctuary.
Shikaka is an online adventure game where your instinct and your luck guide every step. Three stages to immerse yourself in the Wachootoo jungle.
Step into the Wachootoo sanctuary, draped in moss and gilded frescoes. Every chamber hides a ritual mechanism that can reveal pre-Columbian symbols.
Activate the totems and set the temple's sacred reels spinning. Line up masks, feathers and idols to trigger the Wachootoo's golden rewards.
The further you go on your adventure, the bigger the rewards. Five aligned bats reveal the sacred treasure, the temple's legendary prize.
An adventure built for the browser, smooth on mobile as well as on the big screen.
Four main symbols make up the temple's ritual language. Each carries its own story and value. The rarest of all remains the white bat itself.
Stands for the ancestral spirit. Three aligned masks open a hidden passage in the temple.
A ritual stone pillar covered in golden runes. Triggers progressive rewards.
A feather from the Wachootoo's divine bird. Multiplies your wins when it joins a totem.
A statuette of solid gold carved by the ancients. Its appearance triggers free spins.
The white bat itself. The rarest symbol in the game and guardian of the sanctuary. Finding it reveals the temple's great reward, the Wachootoo's hidden treasure, the dream of every explorer who passes through the stone gates.
A fictional mythology, a forgotten temple and a white bat everyone wants to glimpse at least once.
Born from the imaginary mythology of the Wachootoo, Shikaka is the name of the sacred white bat in this world, the ancestral guardian of a Mayan temple buried deep in the tropical jungle. The nod to the cult film Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls is entirely intentional: "Shikaka" is chanted there like a ritual password by an entire tribe, and that is exactly what gives our game its offbeat, mysterious and deeply endearing tone.
The Wachootoo are an imaginary pre-Columbian civilisation, loosely inspired by Mayan and Aztec cultures. In the game's lore, they built the temple, carved the stone totems and guarded the white bat. Their golden frescoes tell that Shikaka would descend each night to watch over the sanctuary, and that her appearance guaranteed abundance and protection for all the people.
Today the temple is silent, blanketed in moss and tropical vines. But the ritual reels still turn, and all it takes is one curious explorer to wake them and bring the magic of the Wachootoo back to life for the length of a session.
According to the frescoes found in the totem chamber, Shikaka is no ordinary creature. She is a guardian spirit, her ivory colour said to be a sign of the ancestors' blessing. To see her, it is said, is to meet the gaze of the sanctuary itself. To see her aligned five times on the temple's sacred reels is to win the legendary treasure the Wachootoo once hid in their catacombs.
This quest is never guaranteed, and that is precisely what makes the adventure magical. Every entry into the temple is a fresh story, made of golden symbols, sacred feathers, precious idols and, sometimes, sightings of the white bat herself.
Because Shikaka cleverly blends three things that speak to any player: the cinematic look of a jungle adventure in the vein of Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider or Uncharted; the simple, instinctive mechanics of a reel game where every spin is a mini-story; and the pop-culture pull of a word that became iconic far beyond its original film.
The game is designed to be welcoming to new explorers, thanks to its free demo mode, built-in tutorial and smooth mobile interface, while staying deep enough to reward those who come back day after day to claim the temple's treasure. It is this dual promise, easy to enter and long to master, that makes Shikaka a world where everyone finds their place.
Several kinds of gifts punctuate your jungle adventure. From your first step into the sanctuary to the daily treasures, all the way to the ultimate reward.
