Dad's Puzzler |
Many
years ago, there was a popular puzzle (made out of wood back
then) called "Dad's Puzzler". No one ever told us why
it was called that. Maybe because people are puzzled why Dads
dress so weird sometimes?
Anyway,
the object of the puzzle was simple enough ...
slide puzzle pieces in a rectangular area until you get the
target piece from one corner to the other. Simple,
eh? Try it! |
Tower of Hanoi |
Legend
has it that in a hidden city, monks are moving a pile of 64 sacred disks from one location to another.
Only one can be carried at a time, a disk may not be placed on top of a
smaller disk, and they must be moved to and from only three
piles. When the monks move the final piece, the world will end.
Is there any truth to this legend?
Well, don't worry. It will take those monks billions of years to
complete their mind numbing task. Meanwhile, you can practice
with a smaller version (only 7 disks), which will take far less
time! |
Jump to win |
This
game was created Riza Purwo Nugroho. Each level
offers you a new challenge, and there are 45 levels! Can you
solve them all?
The
game presents you with an arrangement of balls. When you jump
one ball with another, the ball the was jumped disappears. The
idea is to jump all the balls and end up with just one left.
This is a FUN game! |
Click it and Stick it |
This
game has no purpose other than to have fun. You are given a nice
big red blank area ... with no instructions. Hmm.
Okay,
so what you do is just click in the area. Wherever you click,
the mouse will drag a line from that spot. Click three times and
you'll find three lines connected to the cursor (like rubber
bands). I like to "write" my name with the mouse,
holding the mouse down as I print out the letters. Kewl! |
Lights Out |
Everyone
has played Lights Out, right? Have you? Are you good at it?
It's
pretty easy, but don't get TOO confident. It can get pretty
tricky sometimes. When you click on a square. it turns off all
the nearby lights. But it ALSO turns on any that were off. The
object of the game is to turn ALL the lights off. So
.. are you up to the challenge? |
|
Rush Hour |
We've all been in
traffic jams in our lives. You sit there and wonder if you are
EVER going to get out! Well, maybe if YOU were in charge of
directing all those cars, YOU could un-jam them, right?
Okay, here's your
chance! Play "Rush Hour" and see if you can get to the
exit. It's easy enough said, but sometimes not as easily done. Can
you do all the levels?

Sliders |
Here some some more
slider puzzles (like Dad's Puzzler). These are a bit easier, but
just as much fun. This collection of puzzles was provided by
mazesworks, whom we thank very much!
Oh .. you will find
that the 15-14 puzzle has a problem with it. When you select
'scramble', it doesn't work. We'll let the author of the game know
this and put the corrected version on this site when he fixes it.
Until then, try the
other ones. My favorite is "Lucky 7". It's easy, but
lots of fun.

Sokoban
|
Push, push, push! Gotta get these
things over there! Or is it over here? Hey, why am I doing all the
pushing? Come on, people, I could use a little help here!
This is the game of Sokoban. It's
fun and challenging, but we have to wonder if anyone out there has
the time to master ALL the levels. There are 103 levels!
Wow!

Frozen Bubbles
|
Ah, what beautiful bubbles! Bubbles
are a wonder of nature! Bubbles are are friends.
Pop 'em! Shoot 'em up and pop
them all! You have to get the colored bubbles to match, and then
LAUGH as they pop away to nothing! After all, bubbles are our
friends ...

Dots and Boxes
|
We're sure that you've played
"Dots and Boxes" before. It's a really old game. How
old? Well, they played it before they had computers, before they
had rockets, before they had jets, before they had cars, before
they had trains, before they had electricity, before they ...
well, you get the idea.
See if you can 'capture' more
boxes than the computer!

Cliffie
|
We're not sure if you ever watched
"Cheers" on TV or not, but it was a great show. What
made it so great was the wonderful characters they had on it.
Like Cliff, the mailman. He was
always on time (to get a beer). You could always depend on him (to
be drinking a beer). And he never let rain, sleet, snow or hail
stop him (from getting a beer). So play Cliffie and have some fun!

Paint digitally
|
We
all like Art. He's a nice guy. He's polite and good looking and ..
oh, wait .. we're talking about ART, not Arthur!
Okay,
so put your paintbrushes away and grab that mouse! This program
lets you play the game of creativity, where you splash the screen
with your own thoughts of colors and shapes and blended visions!

Peg Jump
|
Jump to the left. Jump to the right.
Jump up and jump down.
Jump all around! This is the
classic "Peg Jumping" game, where you jump pegs to
remove them from the board. How good are you at jumping? Can you
jump them all, leaving just one peg left? It's not as easy as it
looks, but we're sure that you can do it!
