Marx Brothers Games
Ask the Marx Brothers
The Marxes have joined the ranks of Internet Oracles and they're available 24/7 to answer your questions and help with your problems. So formulate a yes/no question and Ask the Marx Brothers. (Note: You must be able to play embedded WAV files and have JavaScript enabled on your browser to consult the Marx oracles.)
Marxist Quiz Show
If you're in the mood for some rapid-fire Marxism, check out The Why A Duck? Quiz Show. You will be asked a series of questions; the more you can correctly answer in 60 seconds, the better your score (no points off for incorrect guesses). Clicking the link above will open the Quiz Show applet in a new browser window. Once the applet finishes loading (this takes a little while, so please be patient), the clock starts ticking. When you're finished playing, just close the window to return here. Good luck! (Note: You must have JavaScript enabled on your browser to play this game)
Marxist Crosswords
If you're a crossword puzzle nut, then Marxist Crosswords is the page for you. It features crossword puzzles with a decidedly Marxian bent. (Please bear in mind that I'm pretty new to crossword puzzle design, so my puzzles aren't very elegant.) If you'd like to try your hand at creating a Marxist crossword puzzle, give me a shout and we'll work it out. If I use your puzzle, I'll give you credit on the page. Check back every few weeks for new puzzles. (If you read this paragraph aloud, you'll find that the word "puzzle" begins to sound foreign after a while.)

Concentration
Concentration has been around for years, and we've seen homemade versions, board game versions, and television versions. Now, you can play the one and only Marxist Version of Concentration right here at Why A Duck?!. This script was written by James Dean Palmer.
Marx Libs
Remember the Mad Libs party game that was so popular in the 1960s? You know; the game where you and a friend changed a story by replacing certain key words with other words of your own devising? Well now you can do the same using specially-selected scenes from Marx Brothers films! Stop by Marx Libs and let the hilarity begin!
Hangman
How often have you wanted to play Hangman with a Marx Brothers theme? Thousands of times, I'll bet. Well, look no further, because here's "Why A Duck?" Hangman. But don't let the concept fool you. The people, places, things, phrases, titles, etc., are sometimes downright obscure!
