Fun adventure games online

Adventure games send you into dangerous, exotic, or challenging situations, inviting you to investigate and explore, deduce, and ultimately solve the crime, expose the plot, and survive the stress!

All great fun of course, and you'll be glad to see that some of these puzzles are inspired by familiar characters and storylines, where an adventurous and inventive spirit is a must.

The story element is also important in these games, as you follow the plot and, with most of the games, interact with characters who can reveal important information.

Online or downloadable games may also come in bigger than bitesize portions.

Some of these games are pretty big, and are best played or downloaded only if you have a broadband connection, as their file size is much bigger.
