Wow!  Congratulations to Dark Eye for that amazing score and to Abnaxus for such a close contest.  This was a tough but excellent quiz, Becky, and I thank you for putting it together.  There were at least 5 or 6 games I hadn’t heard of before, but I am kicking myself for missing the Drawn game.  I was picturing the animation of the rabbit in my mind but just couldn’t remember where I saw it.

Brief explanation of the so-called clues:

“The” counts.

B 3
L 4
O 2
N 1
D 6
E 5

If you look at the answers on page one of this thread, you’ll note that three of the game titles start with the letter “B,” four titles start with the letter “L,” and so on. The trick to alphabetizing something this way, however, is that in some systems, games that start with “The” aren’t alphabetized as “T” games—they are counted as titles that start with the next word. (For instance, “The Book of Unwritten Tales” may be listed as “Book of Unwritten Tales, The.”) To try to overcome this problem, I included “The counts” to indicate that any title starting with “The” (like, “The Book of Unwritten Tales”) should be considered a title starting with “T”, not “B.”

Also, if you arrange the letters by number, it spells the word “nobled.” I hoped that this would indicate to people that they could search any adventure game database looking for titles that indicate nobility. So if you searched for “king” or “lady” or “prince,” or “knight,” you would stumble across a game that was part of the quiz.

Cluelessly complicated, yes???  Innocent

This was very entertaining quiz, Becky.I didn’t expected so many relatively new games in the mix, but that makes the quiz even more challenging.(At least for me)I still can’t believe how I failed to place that yellow fellow from Sam&Max;. Shifty Eyed
Congrats to Lady Kestrel for the second place and Abnaxus for the third! (Again Laughing )
And Abnaxus, your time will come….
P.S. I don’t want to hear a word “screenshot” for a next few days. Wink

Those flowers are for you, Becky!

Wow DarkEye! - what a score so congratulations to you!!! & also to Lady kestrel & Abnaxus who gave me no hope of catching up!!!!! But no matter as it was a lovely quirky & interesting quiz which I enjoyed very much taking part in so thank you Becky!!!

I ‘wasted’ too much time with the clue but I do love the ‘simplicity’ of it now you’ve explained it but was completely thrown by the word ‘torture’! I don’t really mean I wasted my time but I used to love doing very hard cryptic crosswords but to get your head around them I found that you need to have some idea of the ‘mind’ of the setter & in this case I was ‘clueless’!! I did try rearranging the letters but it really didn’t occur to me that ‘nobled’ would be a clue too - BUT, I will know next time! & just love the thought you put in to it Becky! Thank you again! Heart

I was over-thinking the clue, too.  Smile

I thought that using the “clues” to search might be like torture because of the sheer number of games. Looking at the Adventure Gamers database of games that begin with “B,” for instance, reveals 11 pages with 12 games per page—roughly 132 games. And that’s only for “B”! Some can automatically be excluded, of course, but that still leaves a lot of searching to do.

On the other hand, at the time the “clues” were listed, there were two games beginning with the letter “O”—Oz Orwell and the Crawling Chaos and Odyssey: The Search for Ulysses, neither of which had been guessed yet. And there are a mere 84 adventure games in the AG “O” index.

Can someone explain to me what is this all about? Is this a mistake? Confused
