AmeliaBinMO Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hi, all! I need suggestions for a computer game (PC based) for a girl that would be appropriate for the 11-14 year old range. It needs to be interesting and have no violence whatsoever -- not even mild violence as in some Lego computer games. (She already has the Zoo Tycoon games). I sure need some help here, as I am clueless on this subject. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks a bunch! :001_smile: AmeliaBinMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I can't swear as to whether there is ZERO violence although I don't think there is- what about some of the Nancy Drew PC games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwenhwyfar Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 hmmm...given the older age range and the request for not even 'mild lego style' violence, i'm wondering if there might be some special needs or something at work here? i'm not asking to be 'nosy' ~ i'm just asking because if there are, it might help for people to be aware of that when it comes to game suggestions. :) i'd have suggested looking for some trivia type games, or word play stuff - but i don't know if those would be appropriate? if there isn't, okay. if there is - might help to add that info.

AmeliaBinMO Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 I'll have to check out Nancy Drew! Thanks for the great suggestion! If anyone has other suggestions, please keep 'em coming! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmeliaBinMO Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hi, Gwenhwyfar! Trivia or word games would be great! If you know of any good ones, I'd love to know! BTW - no special needs regarding learning; she is advanced. Thank you again! :) I am so unfamiliar with what is available in the way of computer games!

LaissezFaire Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Nancy Drew! My kids LOVE them and there are a lot of brain teaser/puzzles and such that I think are great mind exercises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in VA Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I can't swear as to whether there is ZERO violence although I don't think there is- what about some of the Nancy Drew PC games? This is what I was going to suggest, although I can't guarantee there's absolutely no violence in them either. Dd11 just told me she's never encountered any.

KidsHappen Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 My girls love the Nancy Drew series. I can't vouch for absolutely no violence (not saying there is, just that I don't know) but I know that they are plenty challenging. There are some of the games that my 17 year has not be able to complete yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmeliaBinMO Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 All the responses are very helpful! I truly appreciate it! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Nancy Drew is a big hit around here also, and they like having a variety of the Tycoon games: lemonade stand, roller coaster, etc. For goofier fun, they sometimes like the 'pet' type games: train your horse, take care of the kittens, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
