Lex Venture: A Crossword Caper

Do you always have the perception that word game is a bore? Well, not anymore. At least, not for this game that I have played recently.

Lex Venture: A Crossword Caper is the game that suits the family or single player. It is fun and educational at the same time too. This crossword begs to differ from other typical crossword puzzle as it has great story line and nice graphics that are attractive to capture our attention.

How does Lex Venture start? Well there’s this word machine called Eugene’s Wonderful Word machine that is already created and put up by a group of pals. Somehow this machine is stolen by thief and it’s the task of you gamers to get it back.

The thief obviously is not an “experienced” thief and in fact, I would say a lousy thief as he drops parts of the machine around town when passing parks and buildings. To trace the machine, form the right words to get parts of the machines back. A few things which are still typical from this genre are the scrabble-like game. From nine letters shown on top, create different words with it starting from at least three words. After you have entered a word, a bubble appear appears with its definition.

There are also some mini games to make it more exciting. You can use some power ups and combos tips to create words when you have no idea how to squeeze in more words. Get in a battle with your thief to see who collects more machine parts and the winner wins the stage. Also some obstacles in the way…beware of the duck that eats things and fight against bullies who break things apart.

Upon collecting some goodies like candy and cakes, you get to earn some extra points too! All in all, I find that I enjoyed Lex Venture: A Crossword Caper very much and this game can be a common activity for the whole family, from adult to kids too.
