When a Kuwaiti psychologist launches a comic series with 99 superheroes based on the 99 virtues of Allah, he runs up against suspicion from Muslims and the harsh realities of the global marketplace. The documentary is also supported by an online video game: The Hunt for the Noor Stone, a roleplaying adventure game where you must navigate the ancient cities of Baghdad and Cordova in search of a Noor stone — the mythical stone referenced in Hindu and Arab texts and believed to contain infinite powers. It’s a stand alone online game inspired by the film Wham! Bam! Islam! It explores historical and cultural aspects of the early Muslim societies through a popular medium (comic book illustration) and offers educational curricula for further examination in the US.
