Tell a better data story

In this competition, take on the role of an aspiring data sorcerer and use the magical AI assistant to craft a more enchanting visualization that reveals the distribution of magical creatures across Numeria's kingdoms.

📖 Once upon a time...

Valuable data about mystical creatures inhabiting the kingdoms of Numeria was gathered in the enchanted land of Numeria. Dragons, unicorns, fairies, goblins, elves, and trolls lived in places like the Enchanted Forest, Mystic Mountains, and Whispering Woods.

However, the chart in the Great Hall failed to clearly show how these creatures were distributed. A cryptic visualization lost important insights...

The Enchanted Kingdoms of Numeria In the magical realm of Numeria, a diverse tapestry of mystical creatures thrives across its various kingdoms. Each kingdom, with its unique environment and inhabitants, offers a glimpse into the enchanting world where dragons soar, unicorns gallop, and fairies flutter.
