Characters gain experience by overcoming perils and recovering treasures.
As characters gain experience, they grow in power and ability. Children and adults find the games exciting and challenging. But the games include some aspects that need a closer look by Christian children and parents. People tell of talking about nothing else, having no friends who do not play, experiencing peer pressure to play and rejection of those who do not. It's when you take the game home with you, when Johnny's mad for a week because you killed his character, that it's an addiction.
