A few weeks back I was messing around with Claude and some sample prompts, and happened to use the term 'xyzzy', and other terms from the classic ADVENTURE. Out of the blue, Claude started presenting itself as the game. I started a brand-new conversation with the prompt "Let’s play Adventure!"... and ended up having two joyful hours of exploring. Granted, this is kind of the opposite of the posted article — in this case, I was the adventurer, not the LLM — but it was still amazing. Try it out!

WELCOME TO ADVENTURE!
You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building. Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and down a gully.
