The time has come to start a new thread for our favorite adventure guessing game. (If you wish to see the last page of the previous Name the Game thread, click here.)

These are the rules:

One person (hereinafter known as "It") posts a clue to an adventure game. The clue can be simple or difficult or creative or dastardly or even poetic. Clues can be information about characters or events or puzzles or more (though we do try to stay away from outright puzzle spoilers).

When thinking up clues, a good place to look for possible ideas is the GameBoomers collection of adventure walkthroughs (plenty of inspiration there). You can also look up adventure game titles and information in the PAGODA Game Database for more ideas.

Everyone who wishes to participate, posts the name of the game that best matches the clue. If no one has guessed after a few attempts, "It" gives another clue. The person who guesses correctly then becomes "It" and posts a clue for a different game, and so on.

Sometimes people who think they've guessed the game but don't wish to name it will also post a clue -- please do this only if "It," along with the first clue, posts "Extra Clues are Welcome (ECAW)." Of course, keep in mind that sometimes the "Extra Clues" may be "red herrings."

Mad has just correctly guessed that the answer to chrissie's clues is: Yoomujak's Ring and so Mad is IT.

The clues Mad has just given are:

A clue then ....

"Lots to explore in this farmhouse but be sure to use that water pump !!"

EDIT :

No guesses ??

Another clue then ....

If we can find a way to get inside that farmhouse we should come face to face with the Devil
[Well, his likeness, anyway ]

Clue 3 then ....

Leave the farmhouse well behind and next go on a bell search in a village

EDIT :

If there are no guesses after this 4th clue, will someone else please take over as my clues must be useless

Clue 4 ....

You can use a shrinking spell to get where you need to go !!

So Mad's clues above would indicate a game in which there is a farmhouse, with a well and a water pump, a way to come face-to-face with the devil, a bell search in a village and the use of a shrinking spell.

I'm afraid that I don't recognize this game, despite these good clues, though it sounds a bit Kings Questish to me. Anyone else?

I don't recognize it either, but Google (is that allowed?) clearly suggests The legend of crystal valley.

Ahhhhh I would be recognizing the game, but only because I wrote a review of it. And I liked it!

Google is allowed in extremis. There's an even more efficient search method when thoroughly stuck, but I'm not revealing my secret techniques.

But Becky !! We need to know all these secret techniques !!!!

As for the answer to my clues ??

Well, now owing a HUGE debt to "Google" .... HandsFree has it !!

Mad, I guess a lot of us haven't played that one yet.

Becky ....

You mean someone might actually be further behind with games than ME ????

Definitely! You go, girl!

I'm always trailing a few years. Now I'm with the 2007 releases.
A new clue is here

The Legend of Crystal Valley?

edit: nvm already been suggested.

That would have been really cunning, to have it be Crystal valley again.
Unfortunately I'm not that sharp.
I forgot to mention that the clue is about the gametitle.

oh lol I did not see that you had started a new round!

Im gonna try: Overclocked?

Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower?
