Live Search Club: Free Games, Free Prizes

At times we have featured free online games. Well, here’s something that’s better than free – Microsoft’s Live Search Club actually offers prizes for playing. You need to register, but that’s it.

The dozen or so mostly word and trivia based games need no downloads. You are encouraged to use hints, hence the ‘search’ part of the club name. A set number of ‘tickets’ are awarded for completing each round. Once you have enough tickets, you redeem them for a prize chosen from the available list.

Does it really work? All we can say is that it’s worked for us! We have received a Microsoft Zune and a wireless controller for the Xbox 360. The prize list is updated from time to time, so available choices vary. You can also donate tickets to a favorite charity.

Whether you go for prizes or not, you’ll find these free games to be very enjoyable challenge.
