Fresh from their adventure in a virtual laser tag world , Team Chu and friends are off on another quest—to save Pantaera from certain ruin!
The popular fantasy RPG, War of Gods and Men, has been adapted to the screen, and Team Chu is competing for the title of child hero: the young person destined to unite the powers of Pantaera to save it from a sinister fate. Over the next week, they’ll be challenged by vampires, witches, and more to test their mettle.
Athletic Clip is confident he’ll take the prize, while reluctant contestant Sadie is pulled into the game's immersive world to meet the challenges thrown their way. Meanwhile, Sadie's best friend, nerdy and sports-hating Jeremy, will do anything to save the fantasy world he loves. Who on Team Chu will take home the prize?
