My mom is totally addicted to my daughter's Pajama Sam PC game. She LOVES those mystery type games with all the clues you have to figure out.
Can anyone recommend a good ADULT game of the same concept that I can buy her for Xmas!!!!

Rediscover the fun of a treasured childhood board game with Clue: Murder at Boddy Mansion. With network play options and an animated "accusation screen" that incorporates your suspicions into an incriminating video, Clue is more mysterious and fun than ever.
There are two different ways to play: Classic and No Die Roll. Both include play with up to six human or computer opponents, three being the minimum. Computer players are offered to make up for missing challengers, and they can even play by themselves (which is almost worth it just to watch all the animated videos of the accused). Players must choose their character--Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Professor Green, and the rest from the original board game--receive the appropriate amount of cards dealt from ghostly hands, and step into Boddy Mansion.

The difference between the two types of gameplay lies in the title of No Die Roll. This version takes you beyond the dice of chance and provides a standard nine options for each turn. Be wary that some actions cost more options than others. Making a suggestion or taking a secret passage each costs three options, while steps to each room cost one.

The newfound enjoyment of the game lies in the graphics. You can view the board as a 3-D mansion, seeing the furniture, looking through the walls and the hidden passageways; or view it as the traditional playing board--which is not as snazzy, but is easier to navigate. Characters are well animated, whether they're walking through the mansion or displaying their prowess with candlesticks and ropes in the accusation screen (don't worry parents, it is more exciting than morbid). The only drawback in this new version is that you may have to ask your noncomputer opponents to close their eyes when you peek at your cards, but reverting to the pen and paper system won't hurt, and the game will be just as suspenseful as you remembered
 
Thanks for the clue idea....
What is the Sims Like???? I have heard things about it.....can anyone tell me about it? I looked at reviews on amazon and it seems really neat!
 
There is no mystery or clues to figure out in Sims. When I first played the game - to see if it was OK for DD - I couldn't see the appeal. After a while, the activities were all just too "real life" . . . paying the bills, finding time to talk to/play with the kids & "husband", having to clean the house, make the meals, get enough sleep, go to work - only to have your "Sim" complain that they're not having any FUN! :rolleyes: Real life, huh? ;)

I never tried Clue - but it looks like fun! I loved the board game. MYST is an older game that required a lot of thinking. Also, King's Quest - I don't know which one they're up to, we have KQ6.

Some of my favorites have been Myst, Riven and Myst III - Gabriel Knight and Journeyman 3

All of these are problem solving games. They hold my interest for a long time and that is not easy to do.
