About Zork II: The Wizard of Frobozz

Zork II: The Wizard of Frobozz continues the series as a text adventure. The player interacts with the world by entering typed commands, such as instructing a character to examine an object or manipulate an item.

This sequel returns to the setting of the Great Underground Empire. The central objective involves a confrontation with the Wizard of Frobozz, who is named in the title.

As is standard for the genre, the experience is presented entirely through text, with no graphical interface. The gameplay follows the conventions established by the first Zork game.

The Wizard's quarters appear differently every time you look at them. There are 7 possible appearances.
This seems like Wonderland but I don't see the Mad Hatter anywhere.
