Like SergeiDave, I found Purposegames through www.chessbase.com. Since then, it's become an addiction, so Tickman's idea of Purposegames Anonymous holds genuine appeal!

Our website provider has a weekly column about different websites, where they provide reviews and suggestions, plus subscribers' favourites. Purposegames was reviewed there, which is how I came across it - and, like BoboLo, it is my cool little obsession. Definitely a better addiction than alcohol or nicotine, I can't help thinking!

Well to tell you the truth , I have always liked geography and I just wanted to test my geography knowledge. I entered www.google.com and just wrote GEOGRAPHY QUIZZES. It could be that I don't remember it at all but it must be something like this , the way I found www.purposegames.com. I want to greet all members of Purposegames.com.

I was trying to learn some Russian vocabulary, particularly colors. Each time I searched for sites on the subject, I frequently ended up here: http://www.purposegames.com/game/colors-in-russian-quiz/info
And that's how it began for me :P

Hola! Yo conocí Purposegames a través del canal de televisión de Cataluña (España). Hacía tiempo que buscaba la forma de aprender jugando y un día casualmente dijeron esta web por televisión, la apunté en un papel pero ya no me acordé más durante un mes o dos. Hará dos o tres semanas me acordé y busqué el papel y aquí estoy... Es estupenda!

I found the link in www.towerofthehand.com , a site about George Martin's "A song of Ice and Fire". There are several purpusegames about this series.

Zam, me too! Since then I've been looking at George's website every week or so hoping for a new update carrying the good news. And I'm a member for more than a year now here on Purposegames :-o

I was searching for quizzes about Canadian geography on google then I found this site. I used it anonymously for a few weeks then I became a member. Pretty much the same reason as bostongopher.

I found purpose games in a google search. I am a widowed mother with four children who is working on her AA degree. I am taking an online class.......Geography, and I was completely lost after the preview test, I got a 60%! I just couldn't get the picture. Then my 15 year old daughter told me to google geography quizes and I have been getting A's on all my quizes so far. Now I am working on Russia and the Near Abroad and I couldn't find any quizes, so I made one, that was easier that I thought, and now it is my study tool. THANX

I found it on this vicious message board I frequent (http://www.phlogredux.org). We were looking for geography quizzes because we were trying to show off to each other or something. Someone found Purposegames and I got hooked.

I've made two games so far: one about naming the current governors of the states of the U.S. (because I'm a total political nerd,) and another about identifying the settings of 25 TV shows in the U.S. Fun site!

I found it on Google searching for a site where you could create your own geography games. I found my answer with PG!

I didn't actually find this website on my own. My geography teacher informed us that every few days, he would give us a quiz on the countries of one continent (it was a different continent each time). He recommended this website to study from, so I checked it out. I was hooked the first time I played the Countries of Europe by David. Thanks to PurposeGames, I aced all the tests on the countries, including the last one which included all the countries of the world. I've tried suggesting this website to other students, and many have signed up since then. Great idea making PurposeGames, David!

I believe I was looking for a place to study geography. But who would have guessed that I'd be learning about the anatomy of a sheep's brain...
