Game 76: Crimson Room

Crimson Room is a brain teaser room escape game, one of the so popular Fasco-cs games, where you wake up in a red room with a headache and can't remember a thing, not even where you are. Now, the object of the game is to unlock the door and get out of the room. In order to do this you have to find a variety of objects to help you with your quest.

One of the original "room escape" games, and definitely one of the most addictive.

Game 61: The Cryptic Canvas

Cryptic Canvas lets you guess the titles of 50 movies from clues sprinkled throughout a handsome illustration by Amie Bolissian, and gathered under the theme of "great movies".

Depending on how well you know your recent Hollywood hits, this could keep you occupied for a very short time, or a very long time indeed. But there are some very clever hints as well, and the interface is pleasant enough (the manual zoom feature is a blessing), and the artist commits herself to each gag, so even the brain-coagulatingly simple ones may satisfy you on the "lol" front!

A Note About the Sign-In: Cryptic Canvas asks you for your email address, as a reference so that you don't lose your progress. However, I gave it a fake address, and I was able to quit and resume my game later from the same computer without having to input the address again. So if you want to remain the anonymous cinephile, you can.
