    I do not know how to open the puzzle about searching for words. Can you tell me how to do it? When I try to login in it says momokc1 and [email protected] is invalid.
    Thank you,

  • Toni

    Is there a prize for that? My laptop can;t play if the puzzle isn’t there…

    My favorite childhood game was Tiddlywinks. I remember playing it with my cousins in my grandmother’s basement.

  • Debbie

    Can’t get it to work on my Mac.

    • Debbie

      I finally got it to work, just need to be patient.

  • Anon

    How do you get this to work? I have tried all different browsers!

  • Linda coltta

    My favorite game was Sorry, probably because I asked my grandma for it and she gave it to me for Christmas.

  • Pam

    Go fish!

  • Shirley Clark

    I found the words, but the puzzle doesn’t work for me.
    My favorite game as a kid was Drop the Handkerchief.

  • Cathie Scanlon

    I loved 500 Rummy card game.
    I cannot access the word search in either Firefox or Chrome. The Save button doesn’t appear to do anything.

  • Colleen

    strapping on a pair of those metal roller skates was great and rolling around he neighborhood. I would have kept my skates on 24/7 if I could have. Playing hide n’seek with neighborhood friends comes in second. Great times and great memories. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane

  • Gail Beam

    My favorite games were Sorry and Chinese Checkers.

  • Beal

    my favorite game was Uno (a card game) 🙂

  • Karen Poole

    My favorite childhood game was “red rover” where you have two teams each lined up on opposite sides and the team members hold hands and whichever team it is they say “Red rover red rover send Sally on over” and Sally runs over and tries to break through the clasped hands of the team calling for her. If she does, then she gets to go back to her team if she can’t break through she goes over to that team. First team with all the players wins! It was great fun! My second favorite was hide n seek. I loved team games!!

    • Denise Holguin

      Hi Karen,
      I remember playing red rover too! I must have been in the 3rd or 4th grade. Fun memories!

    Hi Everyone!
    We gave this Puzzle maker our best shot! Looks like it has a lot of quirks that need to be addressed before we’ll run with one again. In the meantime, we have updated this blog post. Look for the orange text that includes a link to download a PDF version of the puzzle. There is also a link to the Prize Page. Everyone is a winner this week! Don’t forget to post comments on your favorite childhood game.

    I searched but could not find a contact button. Would you know if you have any plans of making the snap hoop for other machines? I have a Bernette Chicago 7 and would love to have a 4xSnap hoop for my quilt sandwiches.

  • Frances Powell

    This isn’t an official game, but my brother always wanted to play army. Since I idolized him, I played army with him almost everyday. We would climb up a tree that was behind the garage, get on the garage roof, and jump off and ambush anyone that was walking by. I don’t remember him playing Barbie with me very much though. Lol.

    • Denise Holguin

      Frances, the visual is so funny! Thank you for sharing!

    Reading the responses has been so fun. A true walk down memory lane. I was a pro at playing marbles. I loved the steelies and the large swirled colored ones.

  • Maureen

    Barrel of Monkeys was my favorite because I could play it without anyone else!

  • Cindy

    Oh my goodness, so many wonderful memories! I loved playing Chinese checkers with my mom, oh how I miss her, Battle station with my baby brother, jacks as I could play those by myself. After marriage I enjoyed playing Uno with my mother and father in-law.

  • Marcia Stewart

    My favorite game was playing jacks with a girlfriend to see who could get to all 10 jacks at one time was the winner. For those who might not know what Jacks and a ball are it is a little metal piece like a dimensional star or 5 prongs. First try was to pick up one a time without a miss. then next turn was to pick up 2 at a time without a miss and so forth. My 2 sisters and I played a lot together as well as my best girlfriend.

  • JudiC

    My favorite childhood games were kickball & softball. We had a big open field in our neighborhood & all the kids would play together until dusk almost every night. No competition just plain fun. Thanks for bringing back the memories everyone enjoyed as kids :o)

  • Carol

    Summer nights playing “SPUD” – one person would throw the ball as high in the air as they could. The person who was it had to catch the ball. As soon as the ball was caught, the other players had to stop where they were. The person who was it would then take four of the biggest steps he/she could to spell out S-P-U-D. He/she would throw the ball and try to hit one of the other players. If he/she was hit, he/she would become it!
