Great Games for the Lunar New Year

On January 26th, the Chinese will ring in the Lunar New Year with firecrackers and bottle rockets that will light up the night sky until the wee hours of New Year’s morning. We’re welcoming the Year of The Ox by lighting up Shockwave with beautiful red and gold lanterns.

Shockwave is based in the foggy city by the bay with a rich Chinese culture and each year we look forward to all the Lunar New Year festivities. One of the most grand is the San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade, which has been dazzling the city for more than 140 years. Sparkling floats fill the streets, acrobats fly in the air, martial artists amaze with their skill, and the gorgeous lion dances wow the spectators well into the night. The beating of the drums and music mixes with the roar of firecrackers as the San Francisco Chinatown throws the largest celebration of Asian culture outside of Asia.

Liong: The Dragon Dance

To get a head start on all the festivities, we at Shockwave like to immerse ourselves in Asian culture through a variety of free online games. Slipping into a Mah Jong trance is super relaxing with three new puzzles released every 24 hours in Daily Mah Jong.

This week we’ve also got some great games to choose from in Deals and Specials.

You can try these games for free or save big in the spirit of the New Year when you buy.

See you in the Year of the Ox!
