It’s also very visually pleasing and I’ve been enjoying binging the commercials and trivia which you can find alongside each game as well. Solid UX/feel. <3 ### 5/5 — Mystery solved!! *2026-05-06* For the past 20 years I’ve been trying to find the name of a game I distinctly remember playing as a kid. No amount of googling helped.
