Stranger Adventures

Stranger Adventures is a fun, cutting-edge, intelligent broadband web series set in the world of casual games. The show manages to combine live-action digital video with interactive elements such as flash animation and email. Moreover, the creators of the show have managed to deliver excellent production values in this online series. I love the idea that the opportunity to win a cash prize is open to one and all. It takes the traditional game show model to a whole other level by opening the game/opportunity to everyone. The interactive nature of the game is both fun and exciting-as a player, you really feel as though you're part of the "adventure." And it also stretches the mind with its treasure hunt/clue-finding aspects to the game in an effort to crack the 10-digit code. These people are on to something here, in terms of their game and its delivery platform...ah, the beauty of the internet!

I don't consider myself a gamer but when I found Stranger Adventures I realized how well I knew this kind of fun game. Everything from crossword puzzles to trivial pursuit to suduko has already primed me for this adventure so I felt comfortable and familiar with the game play. Though I didn't win the grand prize I had the best time playing over a week. Its addictive and the production values made me want to stay with it every day just to immerse myself in the world of the stranger! I hope there are more episodes soon. I've already told so many people about it but until they play it they won't understand how entrenched you become. I think the Danny Bowles character was very sympathetic but I also enjoyed Ian Hollister - the haunted hospital was gripping and I loved the special effects. Its unusual to see something of this quality in the casual gaming market in my experience. Good luck Stranger Adventures and good job!
