Gameplay
Adventure Rock consists of a large virtual world which players explore using customised avatars. They are accompanied by Cody, a floating robot who guides and helps the player.
The game starts with a tutorial in which Cody teaches the player how to control the avatar. Following that, the player is 'dropped' onto Adventure Rock, and is free to explore. There are a number of continuous tasks to do, such as collecting the hundreds of cog-shaped tokens, or pages torn from a book, the purpose of which was still unknown at the time of the game's closure. In doing these, the player gains points.
Reception
Adventure Rock received many complaints from its users. For example, on the CBBC Games Messageboards, many stated that they had problems downloading, opening or playing the game. Lack of support for these issues led to many players abandoning the game and to its eventual shutdown.
