One of the best things about casual games is that they can take you to far off places you'll likely never make it to in real life. It's especially nice if the game can manage to take you to another time as well since that pesky time machine is still in cost overruns at some secret, hidden government facility. Never fear, World Riddles: Secrets of the Ages is here to transport you to ancient civilizations in Europe, the Far East, and Central America where you can marvel at the stunning scenery and learn a bit about the culture. Oh, yes, and play tons of picross!
Picross has been around a long time, long before computer games even. Those of an older generation may know of it by the names "color by numbers" or "pencil puzzles". The basic upshot of picross is to create a picture from an empty grid, using the numbers at the top and side of the grid as clues. The numbers tell a player how many blocks need to be filled in with an empty space around each group of numbers. If you've never played picross before there is a handy tutorial within the first section that is easily skippable by those who have loved this game for many a moon. Eventually every block in the grid will either have been filled in or removed to reveal an image. For those who love logic puzzles, picross is among the best!
