I have to admit- I had never heard of Return of the Obra Dinn until I saw a plug for it on sale on a deals website, with one of the comments indicating that it’s a great mystery game to play together with others on a couch. With that little plug, I was sold, and I bought a copy for my Nintendo Switch.
The ER Champ online finals finally came around. Drum roll… We took 41st place! Not as high as I hoped, but better than we placed in the qualifiers.
So firstly, I need to apologize that the top of my site is clogged by boring Youtube videos. If you’ve had the misfortune of clicking play, you’ll find gameplay from Return of the Obra Dinn, with no commentary.

At long last, we’ve finally completed Puzzle Boat 2! What started as an afternoon session with our whole team working together at the same time turned into a full month of nonstop puzzling that occupied every discretionary moment I can find.
After a long hiatus, I jumped into another Ravensburger escape puzzle. I’ve solved about half of the designs in this series and always enjoy them- the puzzles are a nice little reward for solving the jigsaw.
Though the Escape Room International Championship occurred after Red Bull Discovery Lab, I think it’s more fitting to talk about it first. There’s so much more to unpack about the Discovery Lab that I might have to break out a full series of writeups about.
It’s been too long since I wrote a new puzzle, but inspiration struck today with the two-punch speaker event I attended as part of Red Bull Mind Gamers covering puzzle design and long distance space travel.
Location-based encounters. A map of the city. Crimes to solve. At first blush, Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective and Gumshoe, The Hardboiled Detective in the Thirties have a lot in common, but the experience of playing them reveals two very different games.
So… I can follow a tutorial! For the first time ever, I’ve completed a Rubik’s Cube!
