Read full description
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.
