I played this months ago. It's a highly entertaining game that serves as a great introduction to text-based games (formally called Interactive Fiction).

Pretty sure formerly "text-based games" got relabeled "interactive fiction"

Lost Pig has one more than a couple of IF related awards.

IF is a great addition to tablets when traveling -- light weight, lots of options, a nice compliment to books (kindle app or otherwise).
