About the FamilyGames.com Adventure Games

There’s nothing like reading an involving, well-written story to stimulate the imagination of both adult and child.

But now imagine another kind of storybook...

Our adventure games are founded upon a carefully designed story, one that invites keen involvement and a sense of purpose. The player wanders in enchanted realms, but not aimlessly — there is a mission to be accomplished, and many a puzzle to be solved along the way. Don’t be in too much of a hurry, however. Getting there is more than half the fun!

We don’t forget the power of the written word

Our games are rich with captivating music, animation and imagery, but we make equal time for language. Kids love reading when they see clear benefits — and what could be clearer than the need to save Christmas, or rescue a favorite uncle? Even reluctant readers, or those with limited skills, happily tackle the entertaining story-lines, scene descriptions, conversations, and other fun reading opportunities we include in our games.

Play at your own pace

Many computer games set a pace and challenge you to meet it. All well and good, but our adventure games are different. They challenge not your reflexes but your powers of observation, logic, memory and intuition. Take all the time you want on any scene, we tell players. Pay attention to small details. Using logic or pure intuition, work out the hidden connections that will help you carry out your quest.

And remember, this is FamilyGames.com...

You can have a great time playing our games on your own, but it’s not the only way. We’ve always made a point of creating the kinds of games that family members can enjoy playing together. Given the choice, we want to bring people closer, not isolate them in a cybernetic cocoon. That’s why our adventure games are designed to work well when played collaboratively as well as individually. Try them and see!
