The Room
I wanted to let people know about a great little game on the iPad called The Room. I had picked it up a while back when I read about it on Kotaku, but I never got around to playing it until I was sitting around here at the in-laws for Thanksgiving. The game is a puzzle game (though it would probably fit into what AG calls an adventure game). It involves you entering a room to discover a very elaborate puzzle box. The entire game consists of you trying to open this box. You end up discovering hidden mechanisms and compartments, etc., that open up other puzzles on the box, etc. If you look at the screenshots you’ll probably get a pretty good idea for how it works. (For some reason, I’m always reminded of a much larger version of the puzzle box in Hellraiser). When you open the first box, you discover another smaller puzzle box inside and thus the game continues. There is also a mysterious story that accompanies the game which you discover through the placement of hidden notes within the box. My only complaint would be that the game is too short. But it has beautiful graphics and the puzzles are very entertaining and challenging at times.
I’ll place the link here. It appears that the game is still temporarily on sale for $1.99 right now. I wanted to highlight the game because I’m sure people around here would love it.
Here’s some video:
It looks like a fun challenge.
All these neat puzzle games are finally available, but not on computer. I don’t have a cell phone, never mind a tablet thingy.
Colpet, if you’re looking for a nice PC puzzle game, I recommend Unmechanical. Physics puzzles, among others, and keyboard-controlled (I seem to remember you don’t like that?), but I’m having great fun with it. No story to speak of, no conversations.
Now playing: ——-
Recently finished: don’t remember
Up next: Eh…
Looking forward to: Ithaka of the Clouds; The Last Crown; all the kickstarter adventure games I supported

Thanks for the recommendation
My dad played it on the ipad and really liked it.
An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.

Oh and I thought you were talking about:
Combine Water with Condom to get Water balloon
It looks the The Room will be getting a sequel. Good news; the first game was great. There will also be a free expansion for the first game coming out to bridge the two games.

Didn’t know there was a discussion for this game. Excellent game. Not to long ago read up on TouchArcade about the above Sequel and Expansion. I really can’t wait. Such an excellent and interactive 3D puzzle game…..very horror/lovecraftian too.

Well, I got an iPad. I bought it mostly to play games, so the first game I got was The Room. I haven’t enjoyed a game this much since Rhem 4. I love the 3D aspect of the graphics and the ability to manipulate the object. I’m pleased to hear there will be a sequel.
