For anyone who needs help slicing and dicing their orange gourds this Halloween season, you can get all the jack-o-lantern practice you need at the game garage. Just use your mouse to plan out your perfect pumpkin, slashing through the mock-up in freehand or straight lines. And don’t be scared to experiment! The game also comes with an “undo” button which, after witnessing some of my previous Halloween carvings, would be pretty helpful in real life. Since I didn’t actually log-in, I’m not sure if you can send your virtual arts and crafts to friends, but I can tell you, it it’s surprisingly satisfying to see your creation all lit up, flickering on the eerie background of your choice.

My husband, who has an affinity for dark chocolate came across it in his e-mail. You have to find the clues to 50 “Dark” movies… Cute!
