Games We Grew Up Playing (Why Did We Stop?)

Published Aug 6, 2022

We grew up playing so many games and now we don't even have time out of our busy schedules and social media.

Hide and seek / Lukka chuppi

I don't know how we grew up from playing hide and seek with our friends to playing hide and seek with ourselves? Hiding from every problem in life and seeking an escape.

Lock and key

Wasn't it the purest moment of friendship when a friend risked his freedom over saving you from getting freed from the lock? How did we stop being selfless and going that extra mile for our friends?

Chain - chain

There is no game that shows bonding more than and innocent game of chain chain. More than having fun, it was about how we always joined hands to battle through the obstacles come in our ways.

Kabaddi

Saying kabaddi till your last breath and getting pounced upon by the opponents and still trying our best, taught us to not give up hope and keep struggling till the end. It's funny how little games teaches us so much about life.

Memory game

Curse this smartphone generation when we can't even remember a single mobile number. Gone are the days when we used to remember sequence of words order wise and actually wrack our brains out!

Red hands

If you have never had your hands completely red and screamed for the love of God, have you even grown up in the early 2000s? Piles of hands on the desk and an absolute test of strength back then, was a game of red hands with your closest buds?

Name Place Animal Thing

Start.. Stop.

You need to do your research and find animals with Q to actually win. Is there even one notebook growing up which does not have the back pages filled with games like this?

Tic-Tac-Toe / Cross knots

Always remember that you are at the advantage if you get X but the real challenge is to get O and still make sure you don't lose xD. The wooden school desks still hold memories of chalk writings on them and the uncountable number of times it was played.

When did we grow up so much that all these games give nothing but sense of nostalgia and a bittersweet longing? Take off time from your busy schedules and your phones and may be just play one game which reminds you of your childhood the most.
