Article content

The new puzzle gaming platform is offered exclusively in Canada through Postmedia.

Readers can play original games like SpellTower, a word game of opportunity creation, and Really Bad Chess, a sacrilegious take on chess that forgoes traditional starting pieces. Brand new games like Flipart, a visual puzzle inspired by organizing a sock-drawer, and Cross|Word, an approachable crossword designed to appeal to first-time solvers and lifelong aficionados alike. New versions of puzzles and crosswords daily, in addition to a new game release every three months, keep things fresh.

A Puzzmo Plus subscription unlocks access to additional games that may be locked for non-subscribers while adding eligibility for daily, weekly and monthly leaderboards, so you can compete against friends, family, or even other readers across our network.

Subscribe to Puzzmo Plus here at a discounted rate of nearly 40 per cent off for subscribers of a Postmedia publication (subscription not currently available to residents of Quebec.)

Puzzmo’s offerings complement our existing arsenal of games and comic strips, along with our Daily Horoscopes each morning, which can be found under “Diversions” in the navigation menu on the left.
