I can't say that I've ever finished an adventure game in less than weeks of playing, but I don't play from morning until night: I've got to go to work! Are you sure you're talking about regular adventure games and not the "casual", hidden object games?
The answer is....chocolate! Who cares what the question is.....

If you're average completion times are 2-3 days you are doing well:-) (It must be costing you a fortune:-)) Depends on how many hours you are putting in of course.

Longest game I've played is is Anacapri the Dream - 50+ hours! [double or treble the usual time for a game]. Heavily using a walkthrough will shorten that time, of course. This is an adventure game and an enjoyable one too.

The Longest Journey took a pretty long time to complete.

I would say The Longest Journey too. Myst/Rhem/ etc. all would take me a long time to finish.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

A lot of the older Adventure games were pretty long And not only was Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis long, but you could play three versions of it - Wits, Action or as a Team. And all slightly different EDIT : If you like Myst style games, the complete Uru series would keep you occupied for sure !!

I agree with Mad the later Myst games like URU are definitely long, wonderful Adventure games.

Well, Grim Fandango may be my favorite game ever but it also took me forever to finish, possibly because it was my first real adventure game - which may be one of the many reasons I love it since I put so much into getting through it - but I still think it's a tough one, particularly in certain spots. (I'll bet you know the ones I'm talking about, venus.) If you haven't played it, try Grim. I imagine it will take you a while.

The Feeble Files The Lost Crown Black Dahlia if you put Syberia 1 and 2 back to back, that would be pretty long!

The Longest Journey The Pandora Directive, Tex Murphy Gabriel Knight 1, 2 and 3 Myst, Uru Chronicles Rhem 1 The Lost Crown Culpa Innata
These are all very long adventures, and very different I should add.

Zork Nemesis is a wonderful AND a long game.
So is The Journeyman Project 3, Legacy of Time. (Ive played this at LEAST 6 or 7 times, maybe more. Will never get enough)

I have played a lot of games and I am home all the time so I play straight through if I can. My choices for longest games would be :
Syberia 1 and 2 Longest Journey Lost Horizon (one of my favs) Black Mirror (all of them, lots of stories and stuff to click and explore)
I too enjoy long games with tons of story and lots of stuff to click and explore. It makes the game much more interesting for me.

Syberia 1 and 2. I actually played #2 first and LOVED it. It took me a long time cos I only played a few hours a day and with the exception of a couple of hints from GBers, I played right through!

I would say that the Longest Journey was a long journey in gameland for me.
Also - The Lost Crown was a great game to play and although it took me a while to play I didn't want it to end.
If you want to try some cartooney type games - other than the standards - So Blond was really fun to play and took a while to complete.
