Spying the Riddles in Riddle Pics Foodcourt Frenzy

[Ad- gifted product] We tend to play board games on our bi-weekly Girls Night on Mondays at our local Geek Retreat, but this week we decided to go with something a little different. Instead of setting up a board game, we set up Riddle Pics Foodcourt Frenzy – one of the food riddle maps in Big Potato Games’ series of them. They’ve created a puzzle series where you build puzzles then find the riddles, but the Riddle Pics have a giant picture that you can then use to find lots of riddles.

Dynamic Coins – Easy and Impressive Magic Kit

[Ad- gifted product] Robin and Amelia have been very interested in magic tricks since seeing a magician at Blog On earlier this year. Since then, we have been trying out various magic kits including the Dynamic Coins from Marvin’s Magic. Marvin’s Magic has a fantastic app that you can use to teach you the tricks in the various kits you are looking to play with, and also gives you a free trick library full of magic you can do with everyday objects. As Robin doesn’t really like reading and following directions like that, having a video option is a really big help!
