Forum Games, Wordplay, and Challenges Have a great riddle, forum game, or challenge to the community? This is the place to do it. Ideally the purpose is to motivate conversation about games, but feel free to play Mornington Crescent, challenge people to find every IF that contains a lizard, tell running jokes, run a low-stakes local speed-IF challenge, or run your own bracketed showdowns between IF games and characters. Let's Play! (spoilers!) This is for long-form and episodic play through transcripts and annotations, as well as links to audio and video gameplay. Getting Started Playing IF Here you can find out information on what it takes to start playing Interactive Fiction and what programs you need. Beta Testing Requests and Discussion If you’ve completed a story or game, or wish to get beta testers for one, let us know here! IF Reviews and Essays Post your reviews or long-form writing about IF titles, or links to blogs, articles, and news for discussion. Have favorites? Let us know what you’re playing! Game Hints Hints about specific games. Beware! Spoilers! Project Announcements Have you just released a new work? A game? A book? Tell us all about it and where to find it here!
