I'm sure people here have at least seen the commericals on TV. Has anybody gone to their web site to play the games for free?

If the answer is no, I'll let this topic die and won't turn it into a "blog" thread.

I have a years subscription. Actually it was purchased by my mom to help my youngest son, but she got extra subscriptions so I ended up with one. I did it for a few weeks but lost interest/forgot about it. I don't know that it helped my son very much. Occupatoinal therapy and mental health care is better.

I just signed up for a yearly. Looks like a good thing to waste time on at work.

I recently signed up. I mainly did it so I could get a better workout, but as a bonus I now can play all the games whenever I want.

One of my favourite games is "Pet Detective" where you have to plan out the shortest route to pick up all the lost pets and return them to their homes---and it HAS to be the shortest route because you are only given enough gas to go that far and no more. While there's a bonus for doing it faster, there's no time limit. Currently I'm on level 12.

The tricky part is as in most games they're very addictive. Because these games are designed to help train your brain, there's a temptation to think there's nothing wrong with playing them too much because they're GOOD for you. If you play these games, you need the discipline to call it quits when there's other stuff to do.

(Keep in mind that by "you", I really mean "I." I don't think Jay has any problem with playing too much games at work.)
