Adventure Games: The Volcanic Island

Four students, one island, and a set of locals who would rather you went home.

The most involved of the Adventure Games series. You play four students who arrive on a volcanic island and find smugglers, a research station and a great deal that does not add up. Same engine as the rest of the line — explore locations, combine objects, read the numbered entry the book sends you to — but with more moving parts and a longer leash than The Dungeon.

Three chapters, played in order over three sittings, and the story carries between them. Once solved it is solved, so treat it as an evening's entertainment for a group rather than something that lives on the shelf. Best with two or three; four people around one booklet gets crowded.

Perfect for: a group that finished The Dungeon in one night and complained it was too easy.
