This weekend I had the pleasure to experience a short new puzzle hunt called the “Hive Book Hunt.” It was a delight, and it instantly jumps to the front of the list for a puzzle hunt to introduce someone new to the hobby.
We’re living in exciting times now. In the last two months, we’ve gotten THREE new cerebral survival game shows – four if you go back to January when Bloody Game 3 wrapped up. If you’ve ever had any interest in trying out a brainier game show, there’s never been a better time to start watching.
I have a hot new recommendation for a vacation destination for anyone living in the Midwest US. Hear me out- Fort Wayne, Indiana.
I recently had the opportunity to try out a new form of escape room- the AI Escape game at Immersive Gamebox. The setup is one of the most intriguing I’ve tried- a dynamic cube-shaped room where interactive touch-sensitive images are projected on all the walls. After giving it a shot, there’s one big question: is this the future of escape rooms?
I have something truly random to plug today- a subscription to a streaming service called Kocowa Plus. I’ve only been using it for one show, Bloody Game, but even just using it this way, it’s been well worth it.
I’m going to start off my post on CU Adventures in Time and Space with a bet – Forest of Fables will be in the TERPECA top 20 this year. I’m confident enough in this that I’d put money on it, so if you want to take me up on it, send me a note and we’ll check in next year.
60 to Escape has been a staple of top end Chicagoland escape rooms for some time, but their latest venture is quite the surprise- miniature golf! I had a chance to play through it this weekend, and the intriguing concept pays off, assuming you like miniature golf.
As part of a new year’s resolution, I challenged myself and others to spread the love of puzzles with a new generation, and this week, I found a reminder of why this challenge resonates with me so much. These logic problem magazines were a godsend on long car rides in my childhood, and I always love teasing out the solutions from elaborate puzzles like these.
What was your resolution in 2025? One I’m taking on, and I’d encourage you to consider, too, is to skill up someone else in some way. Friend, family member, total stranger… It’s a tremendously worthwhile challenge to encourage someone else to learn a new skill or approach.
I’ve written previously about how much Netflix’s The Devil’s Plan rocked my world. Since watching this phenomenal Korean intellectual game show, I’ve gone on a pilgrimage of watching other cerebral Korean game shows, and I’ve been loving it. The Genius, Crime Scene, Time Hotel… I’ve watched more than seven seasons of content and can’t get enough.
