I really really hate these “signal-to-noise” procedurally-generated puzzles. #puzzlehunts

If you know the puzzles I am talking about, is there a better term for them?

Really enjoying the latest puzzle boat from P&A Magazine. I love the rush when I solve one #puzzles #puzzlehunts

It’s a bit old, but if you’re interested in running a #PuzzleHunt, I once wrote a book about how to do that, from initial idea and creating puzzles, through managing the big day.

#introduction time!

I can often be found playing with #electronics - especially the #RaspberryPi Pico and bits and bobs from #pimoroni.

I lived on a #narrowboat for several years and enjoy travelling the #canals on our boat Rebellion 

Hobbies include #boardgames (although since the pandemic more often online than with cardboard in person!) and #PuzzleHunts, where I hunt with Team Rebellion. We're signed up to the MIT #MysteryHunt again this year!

Looking forward to the Glyph #puzzle hunt this weekend! Heading down to London to be in the same location as at least some of the rest of the team.
The last one was great fun, a different format to many #PuzzleHunts as only one puzzle active at once, helps avoid huge teams having an advantage - they recommend teams of 4-5 people is best.

#Introduction Hi, I'm someone who plays too many #boardgames (Keyflower, Concordia, Aeon's End, Great Zimbabwe, Exceed). Ask me for recommendations or takes. I listen primarily to #mashup music because I don't want to feel like a complete sellout. I'm moderately competent at #Python. I write and solve #puzzles in online #puzzlehunts.
