In Jan, ****, they had a "money sale", in which you paid , in my case, $85.00 for a $100. worth of play money to use for their puzzles. they cashed my check the following week, but thus far I have not seen any money. I have written them, emailed them and called their emergency line. No response of any kind. I so wanted to believe they were legit, but as a senior citizen on ss, I cannot continue to play these games, with no winning results or feedback. they are definitely not a company to do business with. buy yourself $1.00 word search books and enjoy and save yourself money. *************************

Why does their website say they are accredited with the BBB? They are not!!! And their website says they have been a business for like 28 years or something, and it says on here 36 years. But, on the flyer I received says 37 years!!!!! Thank God I didn't send any money to this scam. I wish they were legit. I knew it sounded to good to be true. They ****. And reviews say the same winners every week? They are lazy and sloppy. 8 employees? Too much proof. The worst part is the completely unprofessional responses to they give to reviewers. Old people are the ones they are scamming. $5 here, $10 there, it adds up. Punks!!!!! They will reap what they sow.Challenging Times Response

*******-I am sorry you feel this way about the Puzzle Players Weekly. Cash money is paid weekly, so the running total paid out by Challenging Times over 37years literally changes every week. Please realize this is not a sweepstakes or a drawing, this is plain word search puzzles that pay winners weekly. The contest is based on skill and following directions only. We hope you reconsider and try our product.Review from Liah C.

After spending hundreds of dollars and far too much of my time on, it became clear this is a long running scam. What baffles me is the way they've been able to pull it off. That was up until I did some investigating into the same reoccurring winners in the news letters. Most of them are deceased after finding there obituaries. If not unlawful, it is certainly immoral. To say I want my money back is an understatement!Challenging Times Response

The staff works very hard to correct every entry and the prize checks are sent to winners. This individuals information is absolutely incorrect.Happy Holidays
