The seventies puzzles smell like shag carpet and sound like an 8-track changing programs mid-song. CB radio handles, bell-bottoms, pet rocks, disco on the radio and a station wagon with the way-back seat — the clues come from the decade people actually lived.
A seventies clue is as likely to be about the avocado-green kitchen or the macramé plant hanger as about the movies — though the drive-in double feature is in here too. Mood rings, clackers, waterbeds, the ice cream truck’s song: small, real things, each one a doorway back.
Every day there are two free puzzles: a quick mini and a full 11×11 themed around the era. Hidden in each day’s 11×11 is one nostalgic object — always a thing, never a person. Finish the puzzle and it reveals itself as an illustrated collectible card with a short story about what it was and what it meant. Cards collect into an album organized by decade. No account needed, and it works offline once loaded.
Every 1970s card you earn files into the decade’s own pages of the album, set by set. Completing a set’s daily puzzles closes the set; each set also has bonus cards attached to deeper, harder weekly puzzles for members.
