Play With Your Child. Compete With Your Child. Grow Together.
One of the most valuable things you can give your child is your time. Through friendly competition, children can learn that winning feels wonderful, losing is not the end, and effort, persistence, and trying again are essential parts of life.
Teach Confidence
Let your children experience challenge, improvement, and achievement. Every game can help them build confidence, courage, and belief in their abilities.
Teach Winning & Losing
A child should learn both success and disappointment in a healthy way. Friendly competition teaches that winning is joyful, but losing is not the end.
Teach Effort & Persistence
Children learn that trying again matters. Persistence, self-control, and not giving up are life skills that can be practiced naturally through play.
Spend Meaningful Time Together
When parents and children play side by side, trust grows. Shared fun creates a relaxed environment for conversation, closeness, and stronger relationships.
Reduce Unproductive Screen Time
Playing together can help reduce passive or excessive social media use and replace it with laughter, connection, purpose, and practical learning.
Invest in Your Child
This is more than entertainment. It can become an investment in your relationship with your child and a practical lesson in life, effort, and emotional growth.
Why We Recommend a Two-Player CashCoPlay Puzzle Challenge
CashCoPlay encourages parents to spend meaningful time with their children through a simple two-player puzzle competition. Instead of only watching your child play, join them and compete together. In a two-player puzzle challenge between you and your child, one of the two of you will win. Under the applicable CashCoPlay competition terms, approximately 75% of the entry money is returned as the cash prize to the winner. If you continue participating, CashCoPlay loyalty benefits may also make the remaining value available in the form of non-cash store credit that can be used toward eligible purchases in the CashCoPlay store.
In this way, the experience is more than entertainment. It can become an investment in your relationship with your child.
By spending time playing together, you can help reduce the amount of time that might otherwise be spent passively or excessively on social media or other unproductive activities. More importantly, you create an opportunity to teach important life lessons in a natural and practical way: how to enjoy success without arrogance, how to accept disappointment without giving up, how to try again after losing, and how persistence can eventually lead to improvement.
You are not simply telling your child these lessons — you are experiencing them together.
Playing side by side can also help strengthen trust between parents and children. Instead of constantly giving instructions, warnings, or advice that teenagers may sometimes resist, shared activities can create a more relaxed environment for conversation. When you spend enjoyable time together, you may naturally learn more about your child’s thoughts, hopes, worries, interests, and dreams.
That understanding gives you the opportunity to guide them more wisely and indirectly. Rather than confronting them with constant warnings that may create resistance, you can help create a safer and more supportive path toward their goals while still respecting their growing independence.
Your child can gradually begin to see you not only as a parent who gives rules, but also as someone who listens, understands, plays, laughs, competes, and spends meaningful time with them.
All it takes is one hour during a weekend or holiday.
Register for a CashCoPlay two-player puzzle challenge with your child. Sit together, start immediately, compete, experience the excitement, laugh together, enjoy the suspense of the game, and create a memory together.
Teach winning. Teach losing. Teach trying again. Teach perseverance. But most importantly, be there and experience it with them.
