All you have to do is wash the correct three items. Right? Simple. You hope...

This is a very simple, one-room Adventuron game with a single puzzle. You have decide what clothes to wash in order to flush a ghost out of a washing machine. The washing machine is in a graveyard and the clues as to which clothes to wash are on a trio of gravestones.

This premise raises all sorts of questions. Never mind about why washing clothes of a particular colour (and not just any old colour) would draw a ghost out of a washing machine; the question foremost in my mind is, how do you operate a washing machine in a graveyard? Presumably there are water pipes and electrical cables trailing all the way back to your house.

Once I'd worked out what the game expected of me, it became a matter of working out the clues on the gravestones and washing the right three items. Some reviewers got it right away, but I found the last of the three clues (on the marble gravestone) rather ambiguous and it took me eight goes to beat the game. Depending on your interpretation, I think there are at least six right answers to that final clue.

Anyway, it was fun and silly.

I remember Ghost Hunt I, it was a fun, compact Adventuron game tracking down a ghost (unless I'm remembering it wrong).

This game is one single puzzle with a lot of options. You have a large amount of clothing divided into type of clothing (socks, shirts, scarves, etc.) and colors, and you find three gravestones that gives you hints on the type of clothing and the color of the clothing. Putting the three correct items into the washing machine wins the game!

I was able to guess the items pretty quickly, so I spent less time on the game than almost any other game in the competition. But I thought the grave messages were cute and everything worked smoothly, and I felt a sense of accomplishment at beating it.
