Puzzled on what to do in April?
Entertainment Enigma Of The Month: Fun house
Fun House was first broadcast in 1988, and aired until April 1991. The show visuals are just loaded full of the stereotypical bubble letters and brain-burstingly colorful imagery of the time, which makes it incredibly nostalgic to look back upon. Who didn’t want to be a kid, wreaking havoc and running wild around this playground of epic proportions? The Grand Prix race was just the icing on the cake, to this deliciously chaotic show.
Perplexing Puzzler Of The Month: The 7th Guest
April of 1993 saw the release of The 7th Guest, a ground-breaking computer game which paved the way for the point-and-click puzzle genre. This masterpiece will see you venturing through a mysterious mansion, and encountering various ghostly entities as you do so. You’ll be tasked with solving a series of puzzles, before ultimately uncovering the owner’s eerie intentions. We love it so much that we have already written a whole article on its awesome story.

This April, families in Lexington, Massachusetts, are invited to take part in a historical self-guided scavenger hunt.

Obscure Occasion Of The Month: Egg Cracking Day
Otherwise known as tsougrisma in Greek, this cracking competition sees players taking turns tapping eggs against each other, with the goal of breaking their opponent’s egg without damaging their own.

The winner of the competition, held on April 20th, is said to have good fortune over the coming year.
