It’s Enigmarch again! If you’re not familiar with Enigmarch, it’s a monthlong challenge of daily puzzle prompts. Puzzle designers get to play and make puzzles and puzzle lovers are flooded with a huge variety of free puzzles to solve. One of the main goals is to not worry about perfection, but just to get in there and get it done. The process is very different than the approach we take with Society of Curiosities, where we extensively play-test and beautifully design our puzzles.
