GoodHousekeeping turns to casual games
Dec 12th 2008 at 16:25 by Ben Parfitt
North American magazine and leading lifestyle brand GoodHousekeeping and rejuvenated the games section of its site with a selection of casual Flash titles as it looks to boost the community credentials of its online following.
Developed by Arkadium, the new site section is designed to enhance consumer’s experience of the site and to encourage return visits – though it also gives publisher Hearst Digital Media another avenue for bringing advertisers to the site.
“Casual gaming is a trend,” Hearst Digital Media’s VP of content and business development Chris Johnson stated. “People like to take a break for five or ten minutes and come back to whatever they were doing before.”
Eight of Hearst’s 23 web sites and nine mobile sites now offer casual games, which are supported by high-profile advertising partners such as Tampax and Clearasil.

How do I get into your games? Is there a charge?
I'm looking for Tri Peaks solitaire.

I have played Mah Jongg on your site for months. I switched from AOL to Centurylink, and now I can't find my game! How do I find it?

I have been playing a version of mahjong where you match the tiles then go into a second set and match the tiles. You are timed on each one. I lost my site yesterday. Can you tell me how to find this game again. I am addicted. Thanks
