Great Puzzles, a Fun Experience, and a “Good” Deal

It has been a long year and it's not quite over. But we can see the sun rising* on 2021! We've got a few things that may help you through the winter:

  • Holiday Sh_pping Deadlines
  • Physical puzzles for sale
  • The Void Escape Experience available in the Seattle area
  • A "Good" Deal
  • Mystery Loves Georgia

 

Holiday Sh_pping Deadlines

Fill in the blank as you wish!

For the US: finish your Almanaq shopping by Friday, December 18th for packages shipping to get to you by December 25th; shop by Tuesday, December 22nd for delivery by December 31st. International shipping varies enough that we cannot provide a firm schedule. We'll do our best!

 

Physical Puzzles for Sale

Get your hands on these!

The Almanaq Store now has a number of Roy's original physical puzzles available for sale. The currently available puzzles are made out cherry and maple hardwoods and can be a nice holiday gift for puzzle lovers you know. Check them out.

Of course, the Almanaq Store also has copies of our Almanaqs, all the accessories, and our artwork.

 

The Void Escape Experience

 

You find yourself in a shapeless void

Haze in all directions

Are you trapped here forever?

A flash of lightning …

… a shipping crate appears

It is covered with strange and inexplicable symbols

Of course, it is locked!

We're very pleased to announce The Void,  the first Escape Experience from Almanaq! It's like an escape room but we deliver it to your house. You can solve it at your leisure, and we'll pick it back up the next day. It's perfect for scratching that escape room itch during the pandemic.

The Void is 25 pounds of puzzling and is available for delivery within the Seattle area. There's a lot more information, including some great reviews by early solvers, available on our web site.

 

A “Good” Deal

Now that Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday are over, have we got a "Good" deal for you!

Here's how it works:

1. You buy anything from the Almanaq Store or place a reservation for The Void between now and next Sunday, December 13th.

2. We complete the good deal by donating 15% of our gross receipts to Hopelink, a local non-profit here in the Seattle area working to end homelessness. We chose Hopelink because food insecurity during the pandemic is a huge and growing problem, and local food banks and related programs are one of the best ways to help.

Our sometime partner, Puzzazz, has joined us in this program. Check out their deal at https://www.puzzazz.com/good-deal

 

Mystery Loves Georgia

In a similar vein, we're honored to be able to participate in "Mystery Loves Georgia," an awesome fundraising auction to benefiting Fair Fight in support of combating voter suppression in Georgia's US Senate runoff elections coming up in January. Items include mystery and mystery-adjacent items, chats for fans and authors, autographed books, and much more. We've offered up a personalized Limited Edition Hardcover of The Conjurer's Almanaq: Escape this Book as a mystery-adjacent item. We think you'll find a lot to like.

The auction ends Friday, December 11th at 9PM Georgia Time. See https://www.32auctions.com/MysteryLovesGeorgia

 

Until next time, thanks for all your support and stay safe!

Roy and Emily
