We're a group of friends & family who get together online most Monday evenings between 7 and 8pm UK time to solve vintage text adventures and modern interactive fiction together. Join in the fun on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@Hit_it_with_a_Hammer
We're about to kick off a brand new collaborative text adventure play through this evening, and this time we're hitching a ride with the Vogon Constructor Fleet!
Join us at 7pm UK time, on our YouTube channel!

We'll soon be entering hour 6 of our weekly exploration of Magnetic Scrolls' Guild of Thieves!
It's been super fun so far; as full of intrguing clues as it is "aha" moments!!
Join us on YouTube to watch along & by all means drop in your suggestions if you have any!

We're back to our mission of becoming a master thief this evening! We got trapped underground in our first episode, so we'll be exploring more of the aboveground in this one...
Streaming live on YouTube from 7pm BST:

So we *finally* completed Counterfeit Monkey earlier this week!
And as we're hankering to dive back into to vintage parser hell, for our next sortie we have chosen.....
THE BIG SLEAZE by Fergus McNeill on the ZX Spectrum!!
Join us on Monday at 7am BST for Episode 1🕵️

We do feel closer from the shared experience, though - and that’s really what it’s all about!

We *finally* finished Counterfeit Monkey on Monday!!
Our verdict: Epic but not a great game for collab play (which it wasn’t designed for, obvs). A lot of exposition. Samey puzzles. It’s uniquely replayable, but we feel little compunction to do so.
Watch it all here:

Join us for Episode 13 of our Counterfeit Monkey playthrough tomorrow evening from 7pm, GMT!
We're definitely in the end game now - just 17 points left to get, will we finish it in the next hour of playtime??

Hey Kumpels! Are you aware that we play text adventure games every Monday night & stream them to YouTube? We played through Fish! by Magnetic Scrolls last year, which I understand you've just played through yourselves?
A warm Hallo! from one adventuring team to another :)
(And if the above makes no sense to you, by all means watch the previous ten hours of gameplay we've streamed! 😜)

We're back on Counterfeit Monkey from 7pm GMT this evening! We've beefed up our letter remover and have compiled a veritable arsenal of potential examples of homonym shame - game on!!

We've previously played Fish! by Magnetic Scrolls (which was definitely the best so far):

...and Ballyhoo by Infocom (which is flawed but so close to being an absolute classic):

Do drop by and let us know what you think!
(Although it has to be said that our first foray into more recent interactive fiction is proving a tougher experience, as we're still working our way through Counterfeit Monkey - jeez there's a lot of text to read out!!)

And for those who aren't already aware, we play text adventure games most Monday evenings and stream them to YouTube in our quest to popularise the games as a great form of collaborative entertainment.

Our live collaborative playthrough of Counterfeit Monkey continues with Episode 7 at 7pm GMT later today!
Will we finally get properly stuck in this game? I have a sneaking suspicion we're going to come to a grinding halt at some point...

Not forgetting the "Behind Closed Doors" series from Zenobi Games, which were the exact opposite scenario... 😆🚽
