Snood, Snood, glorious Snood. I discovered it when I stayed with my cousin in Wellington. We sat in the lounge playing it near all day. Driving into the city I realised I was ‘playing’ it with the cars on the motorway. (Lining up all white cars, etc. luckily my cousin did not try to shunt them- tho she was tempted!) ---

Thanks for all the answers. Although now I’m afraid to download it! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by The\_Raven \* > \*\*I don’t know if this the case with all installations of Snood, but my nephew’s GF installed it on his computer and it brought the evil known as Gator to the party. For those who don’t know, Gator is some of the nastiest, hardest to remove spyware on the planet. If you’ve installed Snood, you might want to download Ad-Aware from [lavasoft.de](http://lavasoft.de) and make sure you aren’t being harvested like a denizen of the Matrix. > \*\* Yeah, watch out for that. I believe that, at least for a while, they offered a Gator-free version. I recommend trying to get that one instead. ---

I had downlaoded Snood for my PDA awhile back but never played it much because I always had access to a PC version whenever I wanted to play it. I got stuck on jury duty once and that game was my salvation. I played it so much I ran the battery down. It may look innocent but that sucker is just as addictive as its bigger brother. ---

I paid for it too, Scarlett. The wife and I were playing so much my conscience got the better of me, so I bought a license. Airman Doors must have too, otherwise he couldn’t have access to all 50 puzzle levels. ---

I had to delete Snood because it was taking over my life. I still sometimes see the game in my head when I close my eyes. :o ---

I am proud of the fact that I am Snood free as well… It was addictive for a long time, but I am freeeeeeeeee! 😉 ---

I’ve given nicknames to all of the little Snood characters: Squiggle Boy Triangle Man Evil Red Block Head Fish Lady Big Sunshine Blue Ball And the funny thing is, I’ll be playing it and thinking to myself, “C’mon Blue Balls…I need some Blue Balls.” ---

Good names **Happy**! I had to delete Snood because it became too addictive. I realized I had a problem when Fish Lady started invading my dreams. It was a tad creepy. ---
