Main Adventure Games

In these games, you play as Pajama Sam, a brave young boy. He starts his adventure in his house, looking for his special cape or gear. Then, he enters an amazing imaginary world!

As Sam explores, you use point-and-click controls. This means you click on things to make Sam move or interact with objects. You'll find hidden items and meet many interesting characters. Some areas might be blocked, and you'll need to find a special item to get past them.

The cool thing is that each time you play, the puzzles and challenges can be different! You can also save your game and come back later. Besides the main story, there are hidden items to collect. If you find them all, you get a special reward!
