There is a great feature on play-at-home escape room games in the latest issue of @senetmagazine.bsky.social. Hoping for more content on this in future - there are a lot of beautiful puzzle games that deserve a deep dive!

On Circus Grounds is a superb puzzly murder mystery! 🎪 The handcrafted components feel so authentic, the story is compelling and there are some great puzzles and mysteries to solve.

Looking forward to the next game from Studio Stamp, whenever it may land.

Treasure Questing (@treasurequesting.bsky.social) no longer requires you to create an account to play its free trial game. Olle, the creator, is very open to feedback if you get the chance to play!

The Eldritch Diary has just launched on Kickstarter! It’s a creepy escape room game with paper-craft artifacts and a chilling narrative. This was an instant back for me ☺️ Please help spread the word!

Took me longer than needed because my phone was being annoying. Next time I’ll play on my laptop! 🙄

Tucking into episode VI of Scarlet Envelope. I’ve heard it’s a toughie, so wish me luck! #escaperoom #puzzlegame

Had a lot of fun playing Danger in the Deep from Professor Puzzle on Saturday Night. The team at Thirsty Meeples (a Bath-based board game cafe) were great!

A puzzle box and a jigsaw?! 🧩 I’m sold! Generally I’ve enjoyed iDventure’s previous boxes but this could be the most creative yet. 👏

Another #puzzlebook for my collection! ‘Atticus Fortune’ was a project I backed last year on Kickstarter. It’s that time of year when the pledges all start to arrive which is very exciting. Can’t wait to play this 🤩
