Hectic lifestyles, busy schedules, and the love of the television can make spending time with the family a rare event. National Game and Puzzle week was created to get families to spend time together playing a game or piecing together a puzzle. Patch Products, a company that produces games such as Blurt!, Malarky, Tribond, Talkin’ Tango, and others not only created the week long event, but also goes a step further by sponsoring the Million Minute Family Challenge. “We wanted to create a nationwide Challenge to remind families to take the time to make communication a priority — to clear the table, pull out a game and get a conversation going. Since 1994, we have sponsored an event called National Game and Puzzle Week annually during Thanksgiving week.” So instead of just saying what you are thankful for, stuffing your face, and crashing in front of the t.v., pull out an old favorite like Monopoly or Life and spend quality time with the ones you love.

Maybe you are thinking, “How does this relate to staging?” Well, I suppose we’ll give you a free tip. To stage a game room, set up a game in progress on a card table. The potential buyer will get the impression that they can have a fun and entertaining lifestyle in your house, which might lead to a signed contract and a sold home!
