Legend has it that The 7th Guest's creators were 'fired' on the spot after pitching the game—it's 'hyperbole,' but not entirely untrue

The classic puzzle game began as notes on an airport napkin before "blowing minds" at CES 1991.

2/ We’ve got a couple of major stories are converging at this exact moment:

1. Diddly — a new word and trivia game show co-designed by Rob Landeros & the late Peter Oliphant, 25 years in the making — is now live on #Kickstarter with a $5,000 funding goal. The game is fully designed and engineered; the campaign is the finishing push to get it to market.

2. The 7th Guest Remake — published by Vertigo Games, developed by Exkee, and licensed from Trilobyte Games — launched June 4, 2026 on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. It is a full ground-up rebuild featuring reimagined puzzles, newly realized environments, and newly recorded volumetric video performances. Owners of The 7th Guest VR receive the Remake at no additional cost at launch — and vice versa.

Our IP, after decades, endures. Our fan base remains loyal. We’re grateful. #gaming #games #RetroGaming #RetroGames #Gamers #GameNight #GameDev #IndieGames #IndieGame #WordGame

3/ Part strategy game, part puzzle challenge, & part pure chaos, Diddly is designed to be easy to pick up, hard to put down, & a whole lot of fun with friends & family. Developed by Trilobyte Games, Diddly is a game show experience for people who love word games, trivia, puzzles, & friendly competition. Unlike many modern games, Diddly embraces a more handmade, retro-casual spirit. It’s colorful, quirky, competitive; intentionally designed to feel like the game you discovered years ago & kept coming back to ever since.

Diddly is a game for 1, 2 or 3 players that combines the fun & excitement of Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Password, with elements of Battleship, Concentration & Scrabble. There is even a touch of the New York Times #Crossword Puzzle. Players reveal #words hidden in a crossword-style grid and race to discover the idea that connects them all. It’s fast. It’s funny. And strategic. Check out the Kickstarter for a demo video.
