Netflix has announced the following additions to its gaming roster: It’s a collaboration with the TED nonprofit. TED Tumblewords is a daily puzzle game where you slide strings of letters to form words. There are three puzzles each day, and you can play rounds against friends, other online players, or the TED bot. In addition to daily vocabulary challenges designed to improve critical thinking and vocabulary, players will see interesting facts from the TED Library. The game will be available to play on Netflix and TED.com on November 19th.
Since Netflix began offering mobile games, it has had a huge lineup of high-quality titles. The collection combines licensed indie game projects like Hades and Kentucky Route Zero with in-house work centered around popular shows like the retro-style Stranger Things game. But just today, the streaming service shut down its in-house AAA game studio before the team could release or even announce a single project. While you wait for TED Tumblewords to arrive, here are some other great options for your daily online gaming fix.
