/ OVERVIEW

Taliyah takes a break from her tedious schoolwork and world-saving duties to visit her local mall turned retro pastel playground when she meets the mischievous Fiddlesticks. Reality and fantasy blur together in a sugar rush of tumbling candy, bubbling Boba, twisting stationery, retro arcade machines and sparkling skyscapes. Put on your best retro outfit and join the duo’s incredible dance routines as you follow them through their bubblegum adventure. Thanks once again to the Riot Games Music team who let us run with it. We’re really proud of how it all turned out.
