May Day Holiday Weekend ‘Win A Game’ Contest - We have a WINNER!!!!

Hello fellow Adventure Pointers!



This is your chance to win an intriguing Adventure game. Potentially, a future collectible!

The idea of the contest is simple.

Whoever works out which game it is WINS the game!

The rules are also pretty straightforward, and anyone who knows how Lateral Thinking problem puzzles work will know what I mean when I say:

1). You ask me a question that requires a YES or a NO answer. Questions can range from sensible ones like Is it a DVD-ROM game? or is its box blue? to seemingly daft questions like Do you play as a tortoise? or Is the box triangular? You never know what might help.

2). I will almost always reply with one of the following: Yes, No, Irrelevant, or I’ve no idea. The only exceptions would be when I may, sometimes, say something like “I’m not clear about what you mean, so I can’t answer”, or similar. Hopefully the ‘I’ve no idea’ replies will be few and far between.

3). Once you, person A, ask a question, you MUST wait for another person to ask a question before you, person A can ask another question.

4). You may use your turn (BUT ONLY when it’s your turn), to guess the name of the game INSTEAD of asking a question. If you guess the name of the game correctly, and it's not your turn, I'll ignore your answer.

5). You can guess the name of the game as many times as you like (but only on separate turns of course; i.e., after someone else has had a turn).

6). If you accidentally, or intentionally, ask two questions at once, I’ll choose which to answer and ignore the other. Also, questions of the type regarding the letters and words in the name of the game are NOT allowed.

7). Ahem! There will be NO arguments, or conjecture, over my answers to questions either during, or after, the contest. Believe me! Lateral thinking puzzles can get quite competitive, and boisterous arguments DO sometimes ensue. I will try my best to answer correctly but, as I’ve never played this particular game, sometimes my answers will be what I ‘think’ to be correct.

Finally, if for any reason this all goes wrong, I'll stick the name of everyone who took part in a hat and draw the winner.

P.S.; Let me know asap if you think I've left out anything obvious. I think I've covered most eventualities.

I’ll be sending the game to the winner, or to the winner’s nominated lucky recipient, by way of basic airmail postage (or 1st class, if UK), paid out of my own pocket.The winner is welcome to pay for insured postage and tracking if he, or she, so wishes.

The contest will continue until somebody guesses the game. Hopefully, not months!
