But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an epic adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.Before he can return to his comfortable life, Bilbo must face down a dragon and confront a darkness he never knew existed.
- An Epic Quest: Join Bilbo, the wizard Gandalf, and a company of dwarves on a perilous journey to the Lonely Mountain to reclaim a stolen treasure.
- A Fearsome Dragon: The treasure is guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a clever and dangerous dragon who has slumbered on his golden hoard for centuries.
- Riddles in the Dark: Deep under the mountains, a chance encounter with a creature named Gollum and a simple riddle game will change the fate of the world.
