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."

****************************************************

Bernard has just correctly guessed that the answer to HandsFree's clues is: Ark of Time, so Bernard is IT and will soon be posting a new clue.

****************************************************

(For those interested, the current thread titles are listed below.)

The "Frailty, Thy Name is Game" Thread

Good to see there's a new thread, Becky.
I was afraid the last name of the former thread would be "Name the Game: Refrigerated". grin

Thanks HandsFree.

First clue for the next game:

The scale of crime.

(ECAW)

Shany, you're on the wrong trail, Becky, the tile doesn't rhyme!
Speaking about rhymes:

No need to be sorry HandsFree. I love extra clues, but I won't comment on them until someone guessed the game.

Mad, you know the great thing of having the reputation of being devious is, a lot of people don't look at the obvious any more! You did see through the smoke and mirrors and got the right answer. thumbsup
(HandsFree, good clue!)

Mad, now it's your time.

I was stuck in day one for 2 years because of that mime! smashpc
Only when I got an internet connection and checked a walkthrough I could finish the game.
