If anything ever fell under the heading of Guilty Mommy Pleasures for me, it would be my obsession with WorldWinner games. I first joined a site caled SkillJam years ago to play online games. What I liked about it was that you could play for real money on games I was actually good at! SkillJam was eaten up by WorldWinner, and I still love it. I think you will, too.
While you can play for cash, you can also play for free. (That’s another awesome part.) I thought I’d spread the game love around with my fellow moms (and dads, and other online friends) by holding my own free game challenge. I haven’t decided on which games will be involved in the challenge, but I have a lot to choose from:
Bejeweled 2, Monopoly Downtown, Spider Solitaire, The Price is Right, Solitaire Rush, Cubis, Brick Out, Family Feud, Skillgammon, Diner Dash, SCRABBLE Cubes, Zen Gems, Catch-21, 8-Ball Pool, 9-Ball Pool, Big Money, Jeopardy, Tile City, Wheel of Fortune, Bookworm, Mystery P.I., Spades, Hearts, Free Cell, Dynomite, Paint Buckets, Royal Flush, Bewjewled Twist, Golf Solitaire, Luxor, SwapIt, Chuzzle, Blockwerx, The Money List… and more!
Phew! My current favorite games are Monopoly Downtown, Zen Gems, and Spider Solitaire.

You must sign up by leaving a comment on this post by 11:59 pm ET on Friday, September 11, 2009 in order to take part in this first challenge. (There will be more challenges to follow.)
Prizes
- Two coupons for free Hostess Cupcakes or other snacks. (Thanks, @Hostess_Snacks!)
- A copy of Wear Clean Underwear by Alexis Martin Neely. (I reviewed the book last year and later got a copy to giveaway!)
I’m looking into securing more prizes for this WorldWinner challenge. If you’re interested in donating a prize and being listed on the challenge page as a prize sponsor, please use the contact form at the bottom of my PR page.
Disclosure
I am a WorldWinner affiliate, so I make a small commission when you register for the site. But I am also quite an addicted player I’m not asking you to sign up for anything I don’t already do every day. I’m a Premier Club member, which means I had to play $750 cash games in one month. (Yeah, I love this site.) I am attending the WorldWinner Player Summit and I am trying to become an official brand advocate. Right now, I’m completely unofficial, and this challenge was completely my idea!
