Looking for a CLI roguelike for elementary age kids

My elementary-school aged daughter has been having fun learning the ropes of some of the classic bsdgames collection on an old OpenBSD laptop I had laying around. I happened to mention nethack and rogue in passing and she had an interest in trying them. But I'm concerned they're a lot more involved/complex than a quick dungeon-romp, and that she'd get overwhelmed or annoyed and disregard roguelikes completely.

Are there any "Nethack Junior" or "Rogue Junior" type games for the terminal that folks would recommend I try? Bonus points if they run on OpenBSD (most terminal applications would), but it's not a deal-killer.

Thanks!
