A few months ago, I posted a list of things I do as part of my “Self-care” during this pandemic. Almost half a year has passed and we are all still in this situation. Staying at home makes me feel a little safer, at least. But I have to admit, being at home for an extended period would get me really bored so I would usually find a new hobby or play games to ease it.

Some people would consider that playing games is just a way of passing time but for me, they are more than just that. Playing games is beneficial to one’s health as it has psychological and mental benefits. In my case, it relieves my stress and my anxiety. It keeps my mind sharp and active and helps me feel more relaxed.

As a 90s kid, my go-to games were Pinball (3D Pinball Space Cadet), Minesweeper and my favorite, the classic card games like Freecell and Solitaire. It really feels nostalgic to still find such games on Solitaire.org and they offer other games all for FREE.

Here are my favorite games so far:

The Classic Solitaire

The Classic Solitaire game consists of three elements: The draw pile, The foundation and the Table. The ultimate objective is to build the whole pack onto the foundations. Sounds easy? Nope. I got stuck a few times before I won.

Daily Word Search

I remember having a children’s activity book with crosswords and word search. I could spend an entire doing word searches, so I really enjoyed playing this game online. You can play a 12×12, 14×14 or 16×16 word search puzzle game with a new puzzle every day! What’s fun is you can have it printed out if you want to do the word search the old way!

Garden Secrets Hidden Objects

This is a tradition find the hidden object with 10 levels. The objective of the game is to find all 12 hidden objects on a given period.

Sudoku

This game is one of the most popular number puzzle. The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 subgrids that compose the grid will also contain the numbers 1 to 9.

If you are not into these types of games, Solitaire.org have mahjong games, connect 3 games and other fun online games that you can choose from. I’m sure you’ll definitely enjoy playing them as much as I did!
