The Famous Five: Dangerous Discovery is a classic 2001 adventure game based on the popular series of children's books by Enid Blyton. The game was produced by Ravensburger Interactive Media GmbH and is aimed at children aged 7 to 12 years.
Julian, Dick, George, Anne and dog Timmy revisit Kirrin Cottage during their summer vacation. An old friend of Uncle Quentin's, Mr. Brown, lives in the cottage. He is an archaeologist who may have found an ancient Roman settlement. Mr. Brown has gone to the world's fair for a few days, and of course the five of them can't help but glance at the excavations. They find a vase that appears to be from Roman times. It turns out that two suspicious men came to the village, who sleep in a hut during the day and wander around the excavation site at night with a flashlight. The five are determined to find out what's going on at the dig and solve the mystery.
The Famous Five: Dangerous Discovery offers an easy-to-use interface and colorful, eye-catching graphics that will attract children's attention. The game does not have a complicated plot and is great entertainment for younger players.
Even though the game did not gain much publicity, it gained popularity among fans of Enid Blyton's books and is still available to people who want to recall their favorite childhood characters.
