Hello! My name is Errol.

I live in Canada and partake in a number of eclectic hobbies, sometimes shared by no other in my immediate circle.

I'm the admin for escaperooms.social.

I'm probably one of the few on #Mastodon without a cat.

I tend to boost the following:
#ghibli | #totoro
#EscapeRooms
#PuzzleDesign
#PixelArt
#Programming
#Science | #Tech
#Gaming
#Boardgames

In case anyone wishes to know, I've updated the escaperooms.social mastodon server, and also cleaned up 50 gigs of media.

The Cryptex Hunt starts today, and the theme is puzzles hidden in videos! If you like puzzles but not super competitive puzzle hunts, it's a good one to try because it's low-key and welcoming and eventually hints are released. I didn't make a puzzle this year, but I helped playtest it and there are some really creative and fun ones.

2023 Cryptex Hunt

Here's an exciting Kickstarter for #puzzle fans:

Threads of Fate is a remastered version of PostCurious’ acclaimed debut game, The Tale of Ord, a narrative tabletop puzzle game.

I'm a big fan of their latest game The Emerald Flame, and never got to play The Tale of Ord before it went out of print, so I'm really looking forward to this one!

Helllooo, puzzle designers!

I've been getting into more situations where I want to recommend puzzle designers, whether it be for consulting, designing, interviewing, oxtail recipes, anything!

It's almost EnigMarch, which means it's that time of year when I start looking at everything as though it could be a puzzle and furiously typing oddball ideas into my phone...

EnigMarch being the daily puzzle design challenge I thought up last year that amazingly resulted in more than 30 participants creating 1000+ puzzles. So excited to see what this year brings!
