It’s #StarTrekDay! Y’all wanna solve some puzzles and help save my starship? https://snout.org/curtis50trek/ #puzzleHunt #aThinVeneerOfStory

Our team finished the #puzzlehunt!

And it's right in time for me to buckle down and finish an application that's due the next day.

well it's late o'clock and i'm still up

life's been quite busy lately; i'm currently in the midst of a #puzzlehunt right now but have also been working on making a character for a #TTRPG

as for more serious stuff i've got important stuff to take care of by Wednesday and by Friday

Just finished up #glyph 4, a small #puzzlehunt. Got to see an interesting variety of puzzles and mechanics, including some that I probably wouldn't have seen in bigger hunts.

Back from Puzzled Pint (http://www.puzzledpint.com). Very fun event, as always. Met two new people, who I teamed up with, and we solved the puzzles in just under 2 hours. Absolutely loved the puzzles, very clever design and thoroughly enjoyable. #puzzles #puzzledpint #puzzlehunt

Do you enjoy the combination of logical and out-of-the-box thinking? Come join the #puzzlehunt "enigame 8-enimal kindom", organized by
our Department of Mathematics, on April 28-29.🧩Put the puzzles together and get to the top with your team: http://go.tum.de/868934

Quick notes about the single puzzle I solved doing the #brown #puzzlehunt: https://www.brownpuzzlehunt.com/puzzle/community-photos

https://www.brownpuzzlehunt.com/puzzle/community-photos
- 13 pictures with people or fictional characters in them.
- Flavor text: "One of each of these people is an old friend".
- Each picture has a number at the bottom right. Probably an index into something.
- First thought was that "old friend" means pick out the oldest person or character in the picture (voice actors in the case of character), and then use the number into their name, to get one letter per picture. This might spell out the answer.
- Tried this, bad set of letters doing this (though not terrible, read on).
- Also, Clippy doesn't really have a voice actor. Looked into creator's Wikipedia page.
- After clicking through a bunch of Wikipedia articles in some order that I do not remember, found this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_University_in_popular_culture
- in the above page: "according to his résumé, has a degree in art–semiotics from Brown, where he "graduated cum laude with a performing arts thesis"
- Noticed that Emma Watson and John Krasinski both have degrees from Brown.
- "old friend" refers to having degrees from or otherwise being associated with Brown. Should have been more obvious to me in retrospect.
- Pick out the Brown-affiliated person from each image, index into their name.
- This spelled out "ensemble piece", which was the answer.

Great puzzle. I almost finished solving a second one, got all the way to answer extraction (will post about this later), but life got in the way to solve any more. Seems like a lot of great puzzles, just skimming through the rest.

Thanks to everyone who came out to @puzzledpint yesterday, especially our locals in DFW - Fort Worth/Arlington, TX that joined us at Dr. Jeckyll's Beer Lab for Boggle, puzzles, and adult beverages!

Next Puzzled Pint will be Tuesday, May 9, 2023. Hope to see y'all out there for it! (You might even know who wrote this next set.)

Hi! Sorry for the long delay, there's something new for you today.

Today, we'll be talking about Mossflower Pictures. Mossflower Pictures makes music videos for a living, but has made an ARG, that invites the spirit of friendship! Here's the link to the first chapter: https://mossflowerpictures.com/CHAPTER-1

If you want a nice catch up, Night Mind has released a video on this game, right here. https://youtu.be/--N-BOIB9FE

The puzzles are nicely crafted, and everything about this game is interestingly done! The story is great, and you'll have a blast with this.

Everyone, get ready, and start catching up! December 22nd is when Goodbye Susto, the continuation of Under The Surface, releases! Chapter one, baby!

If you haven't read Under The Surface, you should. The book is written nicely and beautifully, and the puzzles are intricately designed. I can't wait to see what @eveghost does for Goodbye Susto and I can't wait.

If you're eager to read Chapter One early, you can subscribe to @eveghost on Patreon. It's a great way to support a creator, and get benefits.

Haven't read the first book? Take a look at it here: https://www.axel-lunden.com/

Hi! Sorry for the delay, but here's the next one.

The last game in the Alice & Smith series is NITE Team 4. This is more of a military hacking game, where you have to hack systems, and use data analytics to solve puzzles. This is less of an ARG to me, and more of a hacking simulator.

This game is still something I would recommend to everyone. The work put in this is amazing, and I love this game. These puzzles are different and interesting. It takes some time to get used to the interface, but once you do, you'll have a great time hacking databases. Check it out here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/544390/
