Not an adventure, as the packaging implies, but an amusing four-part puzzle-test for undemanding explorers. Read Review

Ruined by part four, falls into the same league as Pettigrew's Diary. Not recommended and will probably very rarely be completed. Read Review

Exceptional value for money and, unlike short action games, the work involved is likely to take a number of days if not weeks. Read Review
