If you have one of the popular Adventures in Odyssey Games then you know who Whit is and that he lives in Odyssey. Whit is the typical grandfatherly character and fulfils a paternal role and lives in this small rural town.
Adventures in Odyssey began as a radio show that was first aired in 1987. At present, hundreds of episodes have been produced and the show is broadcast all over the world. In addition to the radio programs, books, video episodes and albums are now available, and in recent years, Adventures in Odyssey has branched into computer games.
The series’ goal is to present children, as well as their families, with fun and educational amusement containing moral principles that the creators find lacking in other popular kids’ shows. These kids educational computer games teach morality and virtue and make great gifts.
Whit runs a peculiar ice cream store called “Whit’s End” (pun surely intended) that actually has a lot more to offer kids than just tasty treats. The large Victorian house serves as a recreation centre which is a kid’s dream come true in terms of discovery, imagination and adventure.
The many rooms such as the invention corner, the library and the theatre allow children to play and learn simultaneously. Whit’s End serves not only as the ultimate hang-out for children; it is also the central setting of the radio program. Here the children meet each other, and it is from this place that the many Adventures in Odyssey commence.
The radio series features a regular cast of children, adolescents and grown-ups. While Whit is present in just about every episode, most characters appear only in certain shows, in which case the story revolves around them. This theme is carried on in the three Odyssey computer games.
Like Whit, present in each game is Eugene Meltsner, a science nerd who discusses the theory of relativity with Albert Einstein in his dreams. He’s an overly well-mannered adolescent with a vocabulary no one his age should possess. His manner of speaking is clever and dorky at the same time, a peculiarity that might have you laugh out loud a couple of times while listening to him talk.
These computer games are fun for the whole family and can be ordered online at All I Can Imagine.
