Miss Scarlet in the ballroom with the candlestick! Nothing beats the classic Whodunnit mystery game like Clue! Kaitlin from Palatine Library District says Clue her favorite game growing up because of the mystery and puzzle solving it required. Who's your favorite Clue character?

Recess games are a huge part of childhood! For Kara from Orland Park Public Library, her favorites were HORSE and Four Square because "both games could be played with other kids so long as somebody had a ball." We love nice and simple games! What games did you play at recess?

Who doesn't like a fun and relaxing game? Becca, our iREAD Content & Development Manager, loves to play Wingspan, a cozy game that is "the equivalent of sitting outside and birdwatching." That sounds wonderful! What game makes you feel relaxed and cozy? #NationalGameandPuzzleWeek
