Your time.
Your kind of escape.

A little corner of Hotels Above Par for curious travelers. Pick a puzzle, discover a hotel, read a story, or add a few words of your own.

Start wherever you like.

Every game is open to you, with no sign-in required. Try the daily word scramble for a quick break, a hotel jigsaw for a longer pause, or the Stay-o-Matic for your next travel daydream. Choose Easy, Medium, or Hard where available.

Make yourself at home.

Your browser keeps your place. A private cookie connects your saved bingo photos, votes, and submissions to this browser, while jigsaw progress and writing drafts also save on your device. Allow site storage to return to them later. Clearing site data or changing browsers starts a new guestbook. Playing does not subscribe you to HAP.

Come back for a different little escape.

Daily puzzles change at midnight New York time. Travel Bingo gets a new card each Monday. The edition date tells you which collection you’re exploring.

A place for your stories, too.

Arrange a poem on the Reader’s Fridge, or write a postcard, poem, essay, or memorable detail at the Writing Desk. Gallery permission and permission to feature your work are explained before you submit. Bingo photos stay private.

Take the daydream with you.

Follow the hotel links to HAP’s reviews. Some stories require HAP Premium. Games are for enjoyment; no purchase, booking, or prize is part of playing.
