It was released on November 28, 2006, and won the "Downloadable Game of the Year" award from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences in 2007. I own an original, unsealed, BookWorm Adventures box. As of 12/15/24, I have complete the game! You can see the post-mortem of the game here. In 2006, BookWorm Adventures won multiple awards at Zeebys, they interviewed Jason Kapalka twice about the game, you can watch them here, and here. If you spell "Jason", "Julie", or "Tiffany", Lex will say "I love you".
