MIT Mystery Hunt 2026 is live! The notorious puzzle hunt is a crown jewel of the world’s greatest puzzling events. Teams of the worlds best puzzlers get together and work around the clock to be the fastest to complete an extensive series of some of the world’s most complex puzzles.
There’s a lot to look forward to in 2026. I’ve already kicked off some fun new adventures, some of which I can talk about, some of which I can’t. Regarding the things I can share:
I have a curse. Any time I drive more than an hour south of Chicago in the winter, I hit a blizzard on the road. I’m 4/4 on winter road trips, and in every single one of these cases, my drive home is 100% clear. All that is to say that when I recently took a road trip to Atlanta, I most certainly hit a nasty blizzard in Indianapolis that cost me a few hours.
The difficulty of an escape room is a tough concept to nail. I had the pleasure this week to visit Ultimate Escape Game Atlanta and encounter an enthusiast’s dream- very difficult, but completely fair, rooms! It was truly a great experience for puzzle lovers.
I recently blindly purchased a puzzle game called Cantaloop (Chapter 1: Breaking into Prison). I’ve played a dozen different styles of escape room home games at this point, but even at this point, Cantaloop was quite different than any of the others both in aesthetic and puzzle design. Fans of old point & click computer games will love all the unique elements Cantaloop brings to the table. It’s essentially Monkey Island committed to paper.
Not every treasure has a map. Sometimes it’s the dollar you find in the pocket of your jacket. Other times, it’s your brother-in-law’s lost wedding ring. It really depends on the day, but the life lesson is to never stop looking for treasure- it’ll find you when you least expect it.
ER Champ 2025 Finals are completed! The Finals, broadcast live from Sofia, Bulgaria, brought viewers a thrilling competition with only seconds separating first, second, and third place. I wont spoil who was who, so if you’re curious, check out the stream or the results page. Congrats to the winners!
It’s almost time for another year’s TERPECA results! Soon we’ll have a brand new list of the world’s top escape room games.
I adore a good passion project, especially one that punches above its weight class. Gamebreaker is a new game show with a humble origin – it’s a Youtube series, it has almost no budget, and it doesn’t have any major TV stars attached to draw in new audiences. In spite of that, episode 1 and 2 are a great kickoff to a highly entertaining series that does a great job capturing the excitement of game theory driven shows like The Genius and The Devil’s Plan.
Serena is about to cast a vote for her local council. She picks the candidate with a name that is an anagram of ‘electoral system’. Who does she vote for? A) Caroline Genteel, B) Scarlett Moseley, C) Nicola Gollete, D) Phil Gobolton, E) Lexi Plot. You have thirty seconds… Go!
