International Relaxation Day – What Are You Playing?

Happy International Relaxation Day! For those who haven’t heard of this important holiday, it was made in 1985 by nine year old Sean Moeller to celebrate the significance of practicing stress reducing techniques… Or more plainly, giving you a day to relax every August 15th!

We highly encourage stepping out into nature, nourishing your body with good food, or chilling out with some new age tunes. But, the gamers in us also know that peak relaxation can also be found on the computer with your favorite games.

What games do you play to relax? If you need a few suggestions, we’d be happy to share our top picks!

Nature Escapes 1 Collector’s Edition

Of course, we’ve got to give the hidden object game lovers out there a shout. We are really curious to know what games you relax with after a hard day. If we had to guess, we’d say the most zen HOGs in our catalog would be the ones that take you back to nature.

If relaxing in a serene garden in full bloom sounds peaceful to you, you can find this game in the I Love Finding Vol. 2 – 10 Pack, Delightful Ventures Vol. 2 – 5 Pack, or check out the Nature Escapes Collection – 5 Pack to transport yourself into all the enchanting gardens in the full series of 4 games.
