Here in the Culture24 office, we love playing the museum games that we feature on our kids' site, Show Me, so we thought you might want to try them out too. They're great for solo play or for fun game suggestions for when the family's staying over…

Most popular

The Squirrel's Nuts
No, it's not just that we love the title - The Squirrel's Nuts is basically a nutty version of hangman from Ordnance Survey and will provide lots of fun and tittles over a family Christmas party.

Grrr…
Your mission in To the Rescue is to help the WWF Ranger to save some of the world's endangered species. Collect all the keys around the levels to unlock the cages and free the animals. We enjoyed jumping on the baddies to get rid of them.
