The daily games NPR recommends
Jump straight to the gamesNPR's Linda Holmes named ten daily games she's playing this month, including MapTap's borderless globe and Timeguessr's photo dating. Every one of them is here with a link straight to the game (quick play), plus the creator behind it. Her list is a good starting point.
