Here's a stylish and unusual game, simple called AOOA, in which you embark on an adventure by dialing in destinations. The destinations are 3-digit telephone numbers you find in each 'level' that take you to the next. Each destination is unique in its objective, sound, and interface. For example, one destination requires you to win a game of rock-paper-scissors 3-times to advance to the next. It's a very simple premise for a game; one that allows for a free-form expression of creativity and art: And it works. Click.

Great Time Waster game! I enjoyed it very much. It was easy enough but very enjoyable to play.

sort of creepy sometimes but still fun

i think im being real dumb but how do u get the number from the one with the piano thing
Posted by: buster | March 21, 2005 8:58 AM
wow. I loved that. The atmosphere on every level was just gorgeous.

ThANKS! Good choice for a short little game!
I really enjoyed that brief break from my homework! But alas, time to get back to the drudge of Neuroanatomy.
Thanks again Jay!

Im really stuck on the part with the piano.. HELP.... its bugging me...
Posted by: Clare | April 18, 2005 7:17 AM
The piano is easy...just play the same notes the piano does three times and the #s come up. Happy keyboarding!
Posted by: Paulina | April 21, 2005 5:21 PM
Really great game!! Nice and simple just like I like it. I need a simple game after all those point and click games where you need to find clues and solve puzzles escape (even though those were kinda fun too). My only complaint about The Telephone is that its too short. Other than that I loved it!!

Not a game, but an experience that everyone should try. Beautiful.
I have only just found this site, and this "game", along with Treasure Box, must be one of the most enjoyable times I have had on a computer.
Brilliant.
Posted by: SteveC | June 3, 2005 7:33 PM
Well, SteveC, you're in for a treat, because there are many wonderful games here.
I'm glad you found it. =)

Posted by: Kuro | July 16, 2005 5:19 PM
Unbelievable.
Creative thinking.
That person's mind hasn't been ****ed up by alot of hardcore facts and school.
Posted by: Adeel Syed | July 28, 2005 12:02 AM
For some reason on the piano level, i can only see the very tops of the numbers after i've played the piano and therefore can't move onto the next level! Someone help me out here.
Posted by: Rola | July 30, 2005 8:03 PM
Actually, i zoomed in and managed to get them... only to realise it was the end. Hahah how sad :(
Posted by: Rola | July 30, 2005 8:08 PM
on level two, there were only darkness, but then i move the mouse around...
Posted by: Minveital | July 31, 2005 5:36 PM
Hi,
I am goin ape s**t over here. How do you solve the one with the harp sounds and lights over the city. I just don't get it.
Posted by: roxy | July 31, 2005 9:11 PM
Has anyone figured out the 'Bonus Beat'?
Posted by: Drgamer | August 5, 2005 7:29 PM
hahaha... i actually really enjoyed that. it was something my head didn't hurt on and really cute, all at the same time. ^_^ Kudos!!!
Posted by: KumikoDee | August 12, 2005 4:29 PM

Hehe. That was fun, AND a good time-waster. The music was great, too. I loved O Fortuna. XD I just wish that it was longer...and harder. XD Still, very fun.
Posted by: Azrael | August 30, 2005 11:25 PM
i loved this game. nice and easy although that devil man was scary -shudders-
Posted by: morgan | September 3, 2005 11:04 AM

Posted by: amber rohrig | December 13, 2005 12:48 PM

I'm glad you-all thought it was easy! I am, I hate to admit, stuck on the first level. Love the music but cannot for the life of me figure out what the heck I am supposed to do. Anyone care to leave a hint? Please?
Posted by: Kate | December 26, 2005 9:38 PM
Ohhh. Okay, I'm really dumb. Now I get it. This is fun.
Posted by: Kate | December 28, 2005 1:09 AM
I feel stupid...I didn't realize you have to pick up the receiver...*sighs*...anyways, cool game!
Posted by: Sarah | January 3, 2006 7:21 PM
That was really well done...maybe it couldve been longer? I found that if you dial a wrong number, a message plays to you! Its nothing great..it just says its a wrong number but i still find it funny! A great game, well done.
Posted by: pupplebery | January 5, 2006 9:54 AM
Loved it. I really liked the imagination in this game and the graphics were nice too. There really need to be more games like this.
Posted by: Ellie | January 20, 2006 11:25 PM
This is exquisite! Beautifully crafted. Short, but wonderful. Being able to play the piano was an unexpected treat! Thanks!
Posted by: JavaJunco | March 8, 2006 9:23 PM
Wow this is a great game. Both creepy and... still. If you get what I mean.
You know what? I'm going to play it again.
Posted by: 3D Preacher | April 28, 2006 7:31 AM
wow that was easy and I didn't remember what notes played on the piano but I found out all u have to do is shake the limb!!
Posted by: squeaky | May 26, 2006 10:52 AM
Oh my God! Nico's These Days is playing on the first level! The first flash game that I can leave the volume up to (on some of these parts). Very happy i found this site this week. Thanks, Jay. I thought flash games were dead.
Posted by: Luke | May 26, 2006 1:22 PM
Posted by: vladvash | July 15, 2006 2:52 AM
in the piano part, when you get the notes, the guy putted the introduction of Pagan Poetry - Bjork. did u notice?
Posted by: mariane | August 13, 2006 1:54 PM
Thanks Jay! It was great...I have found it as easy as life! ;) U know what I mean... Solution s simple if we know how to look from the right side!
Posted by: Bilge | August 19, 2006 5:52 PM
nice, i liked it, clear and interesting, cheers
Posted by: richard mitchell | August 28, 2006 7:58 PM
was great fun - bring on some more
Posted by: andy | September 3, 2006 2:35 AM
That was really neat. The only tough part was the piano. Had to sound it out because I missed the key strokes at the beginning.
Posted by: PapaChabre | September 6, 2006 9:47 PM
I love trawling the archives of this site and finding little gems like this one.
The atmosphere of this game is so wonderfully eerie. I've never seen a telephone be put into that creepy context, but it really works. I've never seen a telephone look so frightening!
I just adored the combination of inteactivity and sounds, as soon as I finished it I had to play it again right away.
Although I think each and evey level are genius, I have to say I was most frightened on the first level when I took the apple from the tree the music stopped, all the birds died and someone is screaming in my ear! Argh!

Posted by: bam84 | September 18, 2006 4:49 PM
This is the scariest thing i ever saw! Ahhhhhh help me mom. :0 im warning you dont do this. Satan is COMING!
Posted by: Jacob | November 17, 2006 5:22 PM
This is such an amazing game ... love the ambience, the music, the art ... but I was really unhappy when I finished it so quickly, because I liked it so much. I would love *any* more games by this guy! (Perhaps a proper room escape? He'd do an amazing job if it!)
Posted by: Kara | December 4, 2006 2:41 PM
Absolutely delightful game. I echo the comments of others, wish it were longer. Lots of fun!
Posted by: BJ | February 6, 2007 4:24 PM
How come every single really artistic point-and-click game ends so soon?
Posted by: Technochocolate | February 16, 2007 12:03 AM
stuck on level 2, don't know what to do next after I got the beautiful night view city and God's Hand, I think..??
Posted by: dullpunk | February 18, 2007 12:01 PM
who knows how to fingerpick the first song "these days" by jackson brown like that? I MUST KNOW!
Posted by: ezekiel | March 10, 2007 1:28 PM
Wow!!!!! It was a nice game. The only part that freaked me out was the devils and then the dead birds!!!
Posted by: ***N.J. E$HA*** | May 20, 2007 2:33 PM
Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful game.
Too bad it was so short.
Posted by: Candyholic | June 4, 2007 8:45 AM
Posted by: Anonymous | August 13, 2007 8:06 PM
I hate this. I hate it for being so short. its awesome. why arn't there more 'games' like this? ones with no objective, just pure random fun and art? the internets is a cold, cruel place full of violence, youtube-esque commentry and newgrounds .-.
Posted by: reapaninja | October 7, 2007 11:52 AM
Wow...
Also, At the end, I saw "Bonus Beat," what is it?
Posted by: slyfan548 | October 16, 2007 6:31 PM
This game was a nice break time puzzle. A little easy, but pleasant all the same. Also, I don't see how the devil was scary.
P.S.:Bonus Beat is a music segment that could be played when clicked on if you choose to, slyfan548.

Very nice! The artwork and music are terrific, and kept me drawn to see what was next. It would be nice to see it all pulled together into a story.
Thanks to Michael Clague for posting the additional info about the music.
Looking forward to more from you.
