Gonna be going into #Kickstarter promo mode soon and maybe 10% of my posts will be related to Trilobyte Games’ new word/crossword/trivia/puzzle game: Diddly. If you’re not a gamer, #puzzle lover, trivia maven, or word wrangler; just bear with me please until we get this new project funded. We’ve had success before on the crowd funding platform in the past, funding a board game version of The 7th Guest, and then an expansion pack for the game. So given Diddly is more fun than a TV gameshow, and much more clever, we’re pretty confident we’ll get it funded. As a normally inactive founding partner, my new job is to promote on the #fediverse - so here we go. #gamedev #gaming #games #WordGames #Trivia #puzzles #Crossword #RetroGames @silverspookgames

#Book Report: Matching Minds with Sondheim

It's a book about Stephen Sondheim, focusing on his puzzles and games rather than on the stuff he's most famous for, theater. Of course, it's the puzzle-y and game-y parts that I'm interested in, because I played The Game, a variety of puzzle hunt in which teams drive around from #puzzle to puzzle over the course of a weekend. Thanks to Scott "Puzzalot" Royer, I'd learned a bit about The Game's history—and Stephen Sondheim's name kept popping up. I even buckled down and used a microfiche reader at the library to read (and transcribe) a 1969 London Times article about Sondheim's puzzle hunts and games.

Matching Minds with Sondheim sums it up:

An exploration of all the vastly different, creative offshoots of Sondheim's Murder Game can seem to go on forever. … the Los Angeles moviegoer who watched [The Last of] Sheila in 1973, was inspired to design his own multicity scavenger hunt, which inspired Disney's 1980 film Midnight Madness, which inspired one of its moviegoers to create a similar game, which he eventually took to Microsoft, …
Everything I found out hinted that there was plenty more to know: Sondheim ran puzzly treasure hunts at friends' parties; he ran public treasure hunts for charities, he brought british-style cryptic crosswords to the US, he… Anyhow, this book gets into a lot of that. I'm glad I read it.

It was slow going for me. I think this book expected to be the second Sondheim bio read by a Sondheim fan, not necessarily knowledgable about games or puzzl… https://lahosken.san-francisco.ca.us/new/2026/05/28/matching-minds-with-sondheim-its-book-about-step/

This is my Bongard problem n. 59. My last one for now about games. Try to write your solution (with a spoiler if you want). I'll give my solution tomorrow.

CW: Solution to my BP 58

As in the past problems I've written Python scripts to find the problems and validate their solutions.

Solution to my BP 58: all nonempty boxes contain Nonograms. The boxes on the left, once solved, show grids that represent uppercase letters (the letters A T E F). The boxes on the right, once solved, show digits (8 5 2).
