PrincessMommy Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I just discovered this game app for my new tablet (Samsung Galaxy) and I'm in love. It's a beautifully done puzzle type game called The Room. Reminds me of Riven or Myst, only on a smaller scale (it all takes place in one room with a series of boxes). Graphics are lovely and puzzles are fun without being super hard. The story-line is a bit silly. I could definitely do without that part. I guess the developers felt it was necessary, but I don't think so. I don't think I needed it to solve any of the puzzles. I just finished the first game and am doing the (free) Epilogue. I'll probably buy Room 2 when I'm done. Thought I'd let others, who enjoy these types of games, know about it. It is Christmas break after all. :D edited to add: I should mention that it did give me some grief with freezing up my tablet. I just had to reboot. It didn't happen all the time, but enough to be annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I haven't played it much, but my kids are obsessed. They solved The Room and are on to The Room 2, which just came out recently apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yep, that was the first thing DH insisted I get for my iPad last year, and we both enjoyed it a lot. We just finished the Epilogue last night, actually, and are going to start the second one (which did just come out) soon. We both have enjoyed Myst and it's sequels and similar games (Syberia!) over the years too, so it was cool to see a tablet game of that genre. It is also nice to have a distraction from my other game obsessions, Ticket to Ride (I just got DH hooked!) and Alchemic Phone (he hasn't yet discovered this one). :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristusG Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 It's an awesome game!!! I got it earlier this year and completed it pretty quickly. Room 2 is out but I haven't purchased it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tori@thehomefront Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 We *LOVED* the room and the room 2! My fam should've had one of those "take a number" gadgets to keep track of who gets to play next. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I haven't played it since last year. Thanks for the heads up about Room 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I talk to the trees Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Oh, yes! Dd loved The Room, and we got The Room 2 the day it became available. I agree that the story line is kind of silly, but horror games seem to be very "in" right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I really enjoyed The Room and finished The Room 2 a few days ago. I loved the Drawn games, which are gorgeous and have some fun puzzles: http://www.drawngame.com. I played all three of them on my Mac.
