Would people be interested in my puzzles?
[was "New ARG??]

Okay, so a few of you know I used to be the code writer/puzzle makers for Sonicwarp back in the day, and every so often I get a message from Youtube or something asking if I would ever make more puzzles.

After working for Sonicwarp, I had a great many concepts for puzzles and clues, and I always wondered how they would fair out as real world puzzles. I toyed with the idea about making a business out of it, but TBH it was never about money for me. It was about the enjoyment.

So here's the question:

If I got back into puzzle making would you people be interested? I wont do it as a company or a business, but as a test of my intellect versus yours (collectively?).

The aim would be to find a trophy via a variety of clues, cyphers, codes (the things you know me for). But there will be only 1 trophy, first come first served so to speak...

So would people be interested?

just don't call it an ARG. What you describe sounds like a puzzle trail to me, with a hunt/contest overlay. People will be competing, not cooperating.

I would play for the puzzles, not the prize.

You're correct, I suppose it wouldn't be an ARG.

However I suspect will work together at certain points due to the complexity of the puzzles Wink

Even though the Isis, NKryptor and Cyphers were technically a competition people worked together due to the level of hardness.

This would be the point for me, the interaction, people working as a community.

But if one person is interested I'll make a start Razz
