Date: September 24, 2018 Place: ??? – New Hampshire “I’m dead.” I turn to my left to see a gray-haired woman stooped behind a dusty oak table. “Excuse me?” I ask. I’m sure I must have misheard, since I’ve never seen an introduction open with a declaration of being deceased.
Surprise! It’s a new puzzle before 10PM! There’s a little more time to figure this one out. There are multiple solutions this time, and I’m interested in seeing which of them get found. The official winner this week will be declared by who has found the most distinct solutions this week, with the time of entry being a tiebreaker.
September 22, 2018 – I had first heard of Boxed Up more than a year ago, but at the time, all I registered was that it was somewhere on the east coast and sounded neat. An escape room where two teammates are locked in adjacent coffins and need to find some way to get out by solving puzzles in the confined space. I hadn’t given it much of a second thought until I saw the description of it while visiting Komnata Quest.
Sticking with fall-themed word puzzles, I’ve got one centered around a surprisingly versatile word. Can you figure this one out?
September 22, 2018 – Hot off our completion of our first and only Rhode Island escape room (Escape Rhode Island – Escape The Bunker), Christina and I headed up the highway to meet her uncle Dan near Boston. We settled on the just-off-the-path Brighton, Massachusetts, right near Komnata Quest. I heard about Komnata Quest from an escape room enthusiast I ran into in Los Angeles earlier this year, so I was eager to see what tricks it had in store.
After my late delivery of my previous puzzle, I’m left with a pretty small gap between riddles. While last week’s was about numbers, this one is purely a word puzzle.
I’ve gotten a few requests to do another numbers-based puzzle, so as requested, here one is! If you’ve gone through my previous puzzles, you probably know my MO with numeric puzzles by now, so it’ll be interesting to see if that makes this one really easy.
Major apologies, but I’m caught off guard today and don’t have time to post a puzzle today. I will be posting a new puzzle Thursday or Friday this week instead! This week’s puzzle will be for a special prize to make up for the delay.
September 22, 2018 – Early flights always catch me off guard. A 6AM flight sounds wonderful in concept. Get up a little bit early, sleep on the plane, and wake up well-rested somewhere far away with the whole day ahead of me. Then I actually get to the day of the flight and I remember how early I have to wake up to catch that 6AM flight… Get to the airport at least an hour before takeoff, and shower before that. When all is said and done, I’m probably getting up before 4.
