Welcome to the Adventure Game Hotspot forums.

Adventure games have always been about more than solving puzzles, they’ve been about community. From trading walkthrough tips found in the backs of magazines to debates about what an adventure game actually is, genre fans love to share ideas, theories, and laughs. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Adventure Game Hotspot forums—a dedicated space where fans, developers and newcomers can come
together and discuss the genre we love.

Jack and I have always planned to have a forum section at AGH. It’s in our blood. We go all the way back to being moderators at GameBoomers. Of course, Jack oversaw the ever-popular Adventure Gamers forums (RIP) for many years, a place where I created
the longest running thread in its history (The Adventure Game Scene….uh….Game). Heck, Jack even banned a youthful me from AG back in the day, which we now get a giggle over. But you all won’t make us ban you, will you? WILL YOU? Didn’t think so, because we are all here to celebrate adventure games. 

We have several sub-forums for all your different interests, but wherever you spend your time, these are more than just message boards. They’re a hub for conversation, discovery, and connection. Whether you’re here to find a new game to play, debate the ending of LeChuck’s Revenge, or simply geek out about other games or other stuff, we share your passion.

For our forum guidelines, please refer to Jack’s list of do’s and don’ts and other frequently asked questions. Let’s make the Adventure Game Hotspot forums the ultimate destination for puzzle solvers, storytellers, and dreamers everywhere. 

Once again, WELCOME!!!

You know we're going to debate this question 6,342 times anyway, so let's rip off the Band-Aid right away. 

What IS an adventure game to you personally, what isn't, and why? 

There are NO wrong answers, only silly ones personal interpretation! 

(P.S. Obviously Portal is off-limits to naysayers. It's totally an adventure game, just a very unique one.   )
