Can I use 'Venture' instead of 'Adventure' in my game name?
Author
I need a short and cool name in my puzzle game. Can I use 'venture' instead of 'adventure' because the latter is little longer and sounds less powerful than 'venture'. I am not sure it is correct to use 'venture' because I am not native English speaker. Can you help me to figure it out?
There are differences in meaning. Look up both words at http://dictionary.reference.com/
Check them out as nouns and verbs both.

What will be the full title?
Edit: If you're going for a light-hearted feel for the title, then using 'Venture instead of Adventure could work since the apostrophe indicates that it is being shortened. But I would definitely ask a native speaker (with the full title) before using this, since it is little unusual.

Quest or journey are more commonly used as synonyms for adventure. Venture has more of a business/money association.
It has been done before... so why not again?

As a noun, yes. As a verb, though, "venture forth" has no business connotations.

If there are ponies involved, how about "Giddyup"?

Wow, that takes me back.
- the bodies of monsters took a while to decompose
- touching a decomposing body would kill you
- shooting a decomposing body would reset it to "just killed"
- trapped myself in many a room that way

Thank you, guys.
My full title is "HuntVenture". It's a puzzle game. Can I use it as my game name?
