Adventure Realms

The Basics

Type 2-word commands to explore, interact, and survive. You start in a room with a description, visible exits, and items you can pick up or use.

Read the room description carefully — it contains clues about what to do next. Move between rooms, collect items, solve puzzles, and work toward each adventure's goal.

Common Commands

The Adventures

6 Save Slots

Adventure Realms provides 6 save slots that you can use at any time. Each slot stores your complete game state: your location, inventory, HP, and the state of every room and puzzle in the adventure.

• Save often. Before risky actions (combat, eating unknown items, entering dark areas), save your game. You can always reload if things go wrong.
• Use multiple slots. Do not overwrite the same slot every time. Keep a "safe" save from early in the adventure in case you get stuck and need to backtrack significantly.
• Saves are per-adventure. Each of the four adventures has its own set of 6 slots. Starting a different adventure does not affect your saves in other adventures.
• Auto-save. The game also auto-saves your progress. If you close the app and return, you will resume right where you left off.

• Type commands on the on-screen keyboard (mobile) or physical keyboard (desktop)
• Press TAB for autocomplete — it suggests valid commands
• Tap the MENU button for Save, Load, Help, and Exit options
• 6 save slots available — save your progress at any time

General Tips for Text Adventures

• LOOK often. Room descriptions contain clues. Re-read them after picking up items or triggering events — things may have changed.
• GET everything you can carry. You never know when an item will become useful. Hoard first, sort later.
• Try unusual commands. WAVE, PET, READ, and THROW all work. The parser understands more than you might expect — experiment freely.
• Read descriptions carefully. The solution to every puzzle is hinted at somewhere in the room descriptions or item text. If you are stuck, re-read everything in the room.
• Map the world. Text adventures can be disorienting. Keep a mental (or physical) map of how rooms connect. Note which directions lead where.
• Use HELP for game-specific hints. Each adventure has its own hint system that nudges you in the right direction without full spoilers.
• Save before risky actions. ATTACK, eating unknown food, or entering ominous rooms can cost you HP. Save first, experiment second.
• Watch your HP bar. It tracks your health. Eat food to restore it. If it runs out, the adventure is over.
• Items often combine. If you have a key and a locked door, USE KEY. If you have a rope and a cliff, USE ROPE. Think about how your inventory items relate to the obstacles you face.

Companion Game: Colossal Cave

If you enjoy Adventure Realms, be sure to try Colossal Cave — the original 1976 text adventure by Will Crowther and Don Woods. It is the game that started the entire genre, and it is included in Senzall's Casual Games as a separate game with its own dedicated interface. Explore 39 cave rooms, find 12 treasures, and discover the magic words that inspired a generation of game designers.
