The Mystery League

I'm here now: bsky.app/profile/pzlr.o…

Ok this is a bit out there but I've been working on an ARG puzzle put on by @gwatsky and @pzlr for almost a year that has involved 9 buried treasure boxes being found all around the world from the UK to Namibia to Delaware to Perth to a shipwreck in the Bahamas.

We are so so excited to announce the Midwest Crossword Tournament! Chicago, October 2024. Much more info to come! mwxwt.com

Popping back up here for a minute to say I'm coming to the Twin Cities next week, for an event at the @LazarusLodge. Tell your friends! tickettailor.com/events/mystery…

This adventure has taught me how to use spectrographs, solve British crosswords, and even led to digging up one of the boxes in northern Delaware back in march. I've met so many cool people through this puzzle and I want to give huge props to @gwatsky and @pzlr for the fun!

@pzlr Not doing Threads. Are you on bsky?

No idea if posting links to 🧵 gets one shadow-buried or whatever, so I'll continue to try different things. Here's the latest Puzzler. Find it over on you-know-where, or follow link in bio.

I can't imagine posting here again. You can find me on Threads here: @santheo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.net/@santheo

Jesus: *doing crossword* I’m stuck on 2 across.

Think of a name-brand toy for kids, in 5 letters. Remove a letter and anagram what remains to get a part of the body that is often injured by this toy. Submit your answer here: signals.mysteryleague.com/puzzler/august…

@JamesEGriffith Still mad that American Pie didn’t feature Jim’s dad driving his car to a man-made river embankment to find it not wet.

This is even better than Harrison Ford starring as the president of the USA.

I'm hiring a new assistant. mysteryleague.com/assistant If you're in Chicago and interested in a part-time job helping me make puzzles, hunts, and games — or you know someone who is — drop me a line!

Your favorite riddle boy is back.

Join me in SF at the Barrel Head Brewhouse on July 17 to play my game ✨ Search for a Superhero ✨. app.tickettailor.com/events/mystery…

I'm hoping to run an public puzzle event in San Francisco or Oakland the evening of July 17 or 18. But I need a venue. Normally I look at tap rooms, which have big tables and don't charge event fees. Any recommendations on places to look?

@ethantjohnson @thegridkid @NYTGames Correct!

@pzlr @thegridkid @NYTGames Clarifying: “All tiles used in an answer must be adjacent, i.e. form a contiguous blob.” This means the final answer has to be connected, but as you go letter to letter they don’t have to be adjacent. Do I have that right?

Hey @thegridkid and @NYTGames, I embiggened the Spelling Bee and wrote a new puzzle around it. Enjoy! signals.mysteryleague.com/mysteries/spel…

I'm on Threads as @santheo. Join me there. (They don't allow multiple accounts on the app, so no Mystery League there yet. But maybe it's better to just have one account. We'll see!)
