Daniel Peake 🌈

I should probably do a better pinned tweet.

As I just said on TV, the tiny crossword visible in tonight’s opening shot was created by our brilliant team member Dan Peake and CAN BE PLAYED. To save you copying it off the television, here are photos of both the simple and cryptic versions. Happy New Year! #OnlyConnect

Breaking my Twitter/X silence to say I'm a guest on this week's episode of Lateral with Tom Scott! It was great fun, I only embarrassed myself 10 or 20 times. I live over on Mastodon now at @danielpeake" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.social/@danielpeake Oh also I wrote the puzzles for a book! waterstones.com/book/the-ordna…

A quick reminder - I'm not on twitter at the moment because of the who's running it. You can find me on Mastodon at: @danielpeake@mastodon.social Also: I'm available and looking for my next quiz / puzzle / TV gig from July onwards, so PUT THAT IN YOUR DIARY.

I'm no longer comfortable using Twitter under its current direction. I'll be back if the ship rights its course, but for now I'll be posting at Mastodon here: @danielpeake@mastodon.social If you message me on here I'll still get the notification, but please bear this in mind.

@David_Strathdee Glad I wasn’t the only one looking out for it tonight!

Managed to get this flash just sound of London from the anticipated #asteroid over S UK / N France just now. Looks like lightning, but caused by an asteroid. Very cool.

@rtvwarriors @jordha when is twitter shutting down again

@danielpeake @jordha (T&Cs: Only one compliment may be requested per tweet saying the phrase "Happy Groundhog Day @danielpeake !")

Ten points to anyone who can explain this week's #widm podcast episode title. #wieisdemol #rtvwarriors

@rtvwarriors @jordha oh no

@jordha I believe the prize is ONE (1) compliment from @danielpeake.

@claz0r WITCHERY

Absolute bad boi

At 8pm UTC - I'll begin to solve two cryptic crosswords on Twitch. Here's hoping I also finish them. Do join me later at twitch.tv/quizzydan

While you are waiting for Puzzle Boat 9, Part 2, you can take advantage of a Valentine's Day sale. "Reverse" subscriptions (the last six issues you don't have) are half off as is a Fill in the Blanks subscription. pandamagazine.com

@Houseofhubris Aye, similar thoughts here.

At 8pm, I'll be continuing to investigate anybody-but-Leonard-da-Vinci's-house in the game House of da Vinci III Great game with lots of lovely tactile puzzles, but WE DON'T ACTUALLY SEE DA VINCI'S HOUSE. Maybe we will today? We'll soon see. twitch.tv/quizzydan

@BuzzerBobTV wait that’s my twitch tagline

My prediction: Games and disappointment for some.

Yellow car!!

@BothersBar Oh god that’s one hell of a way to find a life partner where is the sign up sheet

Cilla's BACK!

@DebAmlen (there's no stomping you, etc)

@DebAmlen You stomp as much as you want to, that's what I say

At 8pm - we'll be back on board Puzzle Boat 8 for lots of wordplay puzzles and *looks around furtively* we could be doing our FIRST META of the year!! Also, find out why I have to spread pieces of paper all over my desk to solve a puzzle. See you later! twitch.tv/quizzydan
