Last year, we had a ridiculously good stretch of mind game shows, with Bloody Game 3, Devil’s Plan 2, and Genius UK airing at the same time, with Youtube productions Gamebreaker and Life’s Game providing additional options. Since then, we’ve had a long break, but the silence was broken by a very worthwhile entry to the genre – Four Wishes!
I can finally break the silence on a big secret I’ve had for a while – I went on The 1% Club! It’s the most fun game show on TV right now, running through snappily paced brainteasers until only a handful of players remain for a shot at $100,000!
A few weeks ago, I posted a progress update about my mission to drop off puzzle games in random places to spread the joy of puzzles. At that time, a murder mystery game I had left at a mall’s Little Free Library sat for a long time before someone finally grabbed it. I’m coming back today with a fresh update about the exact opposite situation – same mall, similar game, and gone the next day!
What’s the neatest souvenir you’ve gotten from an experience? Back in 2019, I posted a summary of some of the neatest trophies I’ve gotten, and honestly, the list hasn’t changed that much since then. I’m still a big fan of putting neat stickers on my laptop, but my bookshelf isn’t filling with interesting trophies. There is one newer innovation that gets me excited though- videos from the experience itself!
Last week I shared some thoughts based on discovering that a murder mystery game I left at a Little Free Library remained unused. I need to update the takeaways on that, because this week, it was gone!
I’ve mentioned a few times about my experiment of dropping off puzzle games at various locations and seeing if I can get a few responses from people who pick them up. Early signs are in… and they’re weak!
Have you heard of Balatro? If not, I can’t wait to share with you about the best timekiller of the last decade.
Travel tip: Don’t rule out a journey that doesn’t come full circle.
When booking a flight recently, I saw a tremendously intriguing option. Frontier Airlines offers a “GoWild” pass promising unlimited flights for the next 1.25 years for only $349/year!
As you’re probably aware by now, I’m a member of the design team for the Escape Room World Championship, and every year, thousands of solvers from dozens of countries compete to be the best at solving a series of themed puzzles. What you may not know is that the 2026 theme was just released!
