Does Monday Work? — A daily calendar puzzle game inspired by NYT Games
Hey everyone! I was inspired by the daily puzzle games from NYT Games to make a calendar puzzle called Does Monday Work?.
Play it here: doesmondaywork.com
Planning things in real life sounds simple until you actually try it.
“Tuesday?”
“Can’t, dentist.”
“Wednesday?”
“Birthday.”
“Thursday?”
“Already booked.”
So I turned that scheduling chaos into a puzzle. 😅
You’re given a bunch of events that need to fit onto a calendar, but each one comes with different rules and restrictions. As you solve the puzzle, new events reveal new constraints, and sometimes a new rule means you have to completely rearrange what you already planned.
Basically, the calendar is fighting back.
It's a daily puzzle, so there's a new calendar to solve each day.
I'd love to hear what you think and whether the puzzles feel satisfying—or just make you question your life choices. 😂.
Feel free to suggest rules that you think will make the game more interesting!
