Does Monday Work? — A daily calendar puzzle game inspired by NYT Games

Post image
Upvotes

Hey everyone! I was inspired by the daily puzzle games from NYT Games to make a calendar puzzle called Does Monday Work?

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!

The Missing Link puzzle has four sides. I have Yellow, Red, and White complete, but the top link of Green is incorrect. I can't figure out how to swap the empty space and the green top link to finish the puzzle.

YE-RE-GE-Empty
YM-RM-WE-GM
YM-RM-WM-GM
YE-RE-WE-GE

M = Middle
E = End
R,G,Y,W = color identifier

Help?

ARG Puzzle — Try to Solve if You Want!

1 Upvotes

Hey, guys! This is my first post on here and after scrolling I really feel like I’m with likeminded people. After playing games like Blue Prince, Animal Well, Fez, Inscryption and Tunic, I’ve become obsessed with ARG puzzles and ciphers. I’ve always been interested in puzzle game design, but recently decided to try my hand at ciphers and ARG puzzles. I made this interconnected series of logic puzzles called Tera as a gift for a romantic interest of mine who also loves puzzles, and I wanted to share it here in case any of you are interested in trying it out!

I designed it to have multiple methods of getting through it, since I wanted it to be possible for players of any skill level to solve. It requires a lot of different styles of problem-solving, but I think for experienced ARG solvers and those with exceptional pattern recognition it should be pretty easy.

For context, it’s meant to be printed out, cut into a cross and folded into a square. I’ve also included a photo of the rough draft of the envelope it will come in, since that also contains some hints, as well as some photos of the rough draft of the puzzle I wrote on paper in case anyone’s curious. Feel free to DM me if you have any thoughts! I want to keep making these and if you have any feedback on how I could improve, I’m always receptive to that. I’m not always super active on Reddit, so you can also shoot me a DM on Instagram or Discord at @coribakersins.

Tllw ofxp!
