Puzzled Pint: Choose Your Own Adventure [Sept 10]
Puzzled Pint is tomorrow, September 10, at Marz Community Brewing Company in Bridgeport at 6:30 PM. The theme is Choose Your Own Adventure. RSVP here so they can print enough packets.
Escape the Museum of Science and Industry [Sept 12-15]
I'm excited to announce Escape the Museum, an immersive spy-themed puzzle game tied to the new James Bond exhibit at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. We've been building this game out for months and we're really pleased without how it turned out. You'll spend 90 minutes traipsing around the museum looking for clues and solving puzzles. Once you finish, you'll gain access to the special Bond Exhibit. The event will run for only four nights: September 12-15 at the Griffin MSI in Chicago. Tickets are available here.
Puzzle of the Month
Every month on the main newsletter, I offer a new bite-sized puzzle. Here's the latest one:
Think of a hyphenated phrase that means “fine”. Take the second half, change just the middle of it to its opposite, and you’ll get a word that also means “fine”. What words are these?´
