A Puzzling Short Story ...
The First Alexis Wynne Puzzle Mystery

We've got some short (story) news for you! We just published a puzzle mystery, The Bloody Notebook, the first featuring Alexis Wynne, private investigator, foliage caretaker, and dog walker.

This first mystery is pretty straightforward, but that doesn't mean there isn't a twist! Read the mystery and see if you can figure out who the murderer is before Alexis does. Then, after the murderer is caught, can you solve the extra puzzle: where's the money?

We've published this story on vocal.media, so it's free to everyone. If you enjoy the story, we'd appreciate a Like. And, we'd really appreciate it if you fill out our survey and let us know what you think. Thanks!

The Void

If you live in the Seattle area and haven't yet checked out The Void, our deliverable escape experience, we encourage you to take a look. We just opened up April bookings. Here are some recent reactions from solvers:

❝The Void has been by far the most fun and engaging at home escape room experience that I have played. The puzzles in it are well made, enjoyable, and great for group solving.❞

— Pavel and Vy, Redmond

❝...a wonderful break from other at-home escape experiences. I missed the physicality of escape rooms, and The Void scratched that itch with puzzles that were a joy to complete.❞

— Paul, Normandy Park

❝This was a great evening’s entertainment during these socially isolated times. A good variety of solidly built physical puzzles.❞

— Daniel Weise
