Here is a fun little game I recently came across:

• Place the State (from History.com)

So fun to see my books for sale in a brick-and-mortar store. Here they are at Changing Hands in Tempe, AZ.

Have you checked out our Wright on Time game page lately?

In addition to word finds and crossword puzzles, we now have two new online 42 piece jigsaw puzzles based off of the awesome paintings (by Tanja Bauerle) for the Wright on Time book covers! These are so fun to do. I especially enjoy how they magically turn into pictures after the puzzle is solved.

If you have ideas for new games for us to add, please let us know. More puzzles for the Utah and Wyoming books are in development right now. So are trivia games for the first three books in the series.

Be sure to do the Arizona and Utah puzzles today!
