2012 TRIPLE PLAY PUZZLES EXTRAVAGANZA: "REMOTE POSSIBILITIES" This extravaganza consists of 12 word- and/or image-based puzzles whose answers are combined to form a final "metapuzzle": a trivia question whose answer is the final solution to the extravaganza. The puzzles include twists on such types as crosswords, word searches, photo identification, trivia quizzes, and many more, as well as plenty of totally new puzzle types. The theme of the extravaganza is the 2011-12 TV season, but most of the puzzles do not actually require much knowledge of TV. This extravaganza is appropriate either for solo solving or for solving in a small group. Unlike many similar extravaganzas, most of the puzzles have very explicit directions; the puzzling will come from the puzzles themselves, not in figuring out what you have to do. Some of the comments received from participants in the contest: "Awesome puzzles!!" ... "I'm amazed at how intricate the whole thing is" ... "Do it again, any time, I'm in" ... "That was one cool, nerve-wracking suite" ... "[Certain puzzle] might be the most impressive grid I've ever seen" ... "If I kept a short list of all-time favorite puzzles, [different certain puzzle] would be the newest addition" ... "I am certain everyone participating in this will have the same awesome experience as I did" ... "Hope this contest is the first of many" ... "One of the best puzzle suites I've ever solved!" It is too late to enter the contest, but you can still buy the puzzles for $15. Solving the extravaganza should give you a good sense of whether you would enjoy entering next year's contest. You can buy the basic version of the contest by clicking on the button below. Once you do so, I will e-mail you a PDF with the extravaganza, and another PDF with all the answers. There is also a deluxe version of the extravaganza, with three large bonus puzzles, available here. |
