Remember the arcade, the video store and the mixtape you made for your best friend? Flashback Word Search turns those memories into relaxing word search puzzles.
Every level is a themed word list from the 80s, 90s and 2000s: Saturday morning cartoons, the mall, the sleepover, the computer lab and more. Find a word and you might get a quick fun fact from the era, and every level ends with a recap of the stories behind its words.
HOW TO PLAY
• Swipe across the letters in a straight line to find a word from the list
• Words run across, down, diagonally and, later on, backwards
• No timer and no way to lose. Play at your own pace
TRAVEL THROUGH THE DECADES
