Roads? Where we're going...
Back to the Future is the ultimate time-travel adventure, and this puzzle gathers its world. You'll be finding teenager MARTY McFLY, the eccentric DOC BROWN, their souped-up DELOREAN, and the FLUX CAPACITOR that makes time travel possible.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the timeline, no two Back to the Future word searches are the same. One round a backwards BIFF hides in a corner; the next a diagonal LIGHTNING strikes across the middle.
Past, present and future
The whole trilogy is here. Track down DOC's dog EINSTEIN, Marty's girlfriend JENNIFER, the bully TANNEN, and the town of HILL VALLEY. There's the PLUTONIUM that powers the car, the famous HOVERBOARD and SKATEBOARD, the sports ALMANAC, and the CLOCKTOWER where it all comes together — with 1.21 GIGAWATTS to spare.
From the TIME machine to a race against the FUTURE, this puzzle is packed with everything fans love about the films.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
