Our purpose is to connect people with news in fun and engaging ways.

Newsrooms have always known that the puzzle page matters. It is the thing readers turn to first, the reason a subscription gets renewed, the habit that survives a slow week. What has been missing is a way to make that page yours — built from your reporting, pointing back to your stories, rather than borrowed from somewhere else.

That is what we build. Every crossword, word puzzle and quiz we publish is generated from a newsroom’s own coverage, so finishing the game hands the reader a short, relevant list of that newsroom’s journalism. It runs every day without anybody having to think about it.

News Games is a public benefit corporation based in the greater Boston area, founded by Kevin McCurdy and Bill Miles. We work with national newsrooms, statewide public radio networks, metro dailies, non-profit newsrooms and small local publishers.
