I have mentioned Jay is Games before as one of my favorite places to find out about kids computer games and games for all ages. Most of their games listed are free flash games and some are downloads. I wanted to showcase a few of my favorite point and click adventure games (NOT escape the room games) that are fun for the kids or your whole family to play. The games I am mentioning all have a similar feel, are non violent and have beautiful graphics and sound to add to your experience. Here are a few of my faves. Would love to know what you think:

The Blue Beanie

Hosted by Jay is Games and created by Daphne Lim — this game is so pretty and the music so calming. Help the little guy get his hat back. Solve puzzles on each page to move further ahead. If you need help there is a walkthrough here. But I feel pretty confident you can do it. This is one of the prettiest games I have played and it is short… perfect for kids or adults.

Games By Amanita Design

I found out about this company through a game they created for the band Polyphonic Spree called The Quest for the Rest which has BEAUTIFUL graphics and music and is only a few screens. My children LOVED playing it because they could finish it and the music was SO good. I learned about some of their other games like Samorost 1 & Samorst 2 at Jay is Games (The first one a couple of years ago) and they are also beautifully rendered point and click adventure games (although a bit odd) . They are a little longer than The Blue Beanie and The Quest for the Rest and offer many point and click puzzles to figure out. Amanita Design has a few others as well. If you go to their site and click games you will find 5 games including these three that are all high quality as well as one point and click page called “Pantry” which is fun to click on, play music and explore. This company is wonderful and I hope they continue making quality games like these.

Haluz & Haluz 2

My kids and I had GREAT fun figuring these games out together. Beautiful graphics, music and interesting puzzles make this fun to play for the whole family. The games are longer and require getting past puzzles on each page just like the previously mentioned. A nice feature is you can save and load if you do not have the time to finish it in one try. The first picture will take you to Haluz 1 and the second Haluz 2.

It has been a pleasure sharing some of my family’s favorite free online point and click adventure games. This is a great way to spend a little bit of time as a family and figure things out together or for you to relax and listen to some great music, watch some beautiful graphics and use your mind to figure out some cool puzzles at the same time. As always, I am very grateful for Jay Is Games for their non stop work introducing games every day with reviews so that anyone can find something they like. If you ever get stuck — go to Jay is Games and eneter in the name of teh game — they have links to walkthroughs on almost all their games.
