Adventure can happen anywhere, even from the comfort of home. In fact, some of the most engaging experiences can take place simply from playing with words. Stories of adventure can delight both the listener and the teller alike. They fuel the imagination, open minds, tickle our funny bones, warm our hearts and nourish our souls.
Storytelling is our oldest and arguably richest art form. Easily predating writing, painting, music and memeing, it provides respite from everyday reality and connects us with others in new and different ways. Stories can make us tremble with fear. Shed tears of loss or laughter. Dazzle us with awe and wonder. Fill our hearts with sorrow or bliss. Or strike us as just plain silly. Storytelling not only brings us closer together. It also keeps us focused and centered.
These games will awaken your inner storyteller, place you in the heart of a thrilling adventure, or test your way with words. So, snuggle up and prepare to make some magical moments and lasting memories!
