The Healing Power Of Mystery Case Files

Do you remember being young and not always getting on with your siblings?
There being nine of us, I'm sure our mother wanted to run away from home on a regular basis, there were so many combinations of "s/he's picking on me!" we could get into.
Naturally, as we've gotten older, we have less of those incidents but the last two still living at home have their moments. When R3 left on his mission we joked with the others that if we saw a mushroom cloud coming from the desert area we'd know what had caused it.
Nearly two weeks in I've been surprised at how well they've adjusted. Part of the credit I believe is due to the Mystery Case Files series of games. They're hidden adventure puzzle games, simple on the surface but very easy to get addicted to. There are a lot of bonus features in each game that aren't necessary but add another level to the play.
IHW and LBO are spending a decent amount to time together working the games out. It's charming to see and good to know that when they pass the dramas of high school they are likely to become friends in the same way the other seven of us have.

This is me and I'm for whatever works.
