Tomorrow is a big event at my university. I'd like to make a fun thing where the people of the Board Game society I am in can try to find me for a riddle, kind of a Where is Waldo in a place where there is a crap tone of people to find the NPC that'll give them a Riddle (Maybe something to win? No idea how I could do that detail)

How easy should it be to solve?

My favorite longer puzzle is β€œthere’s a naked man lying dead in a field with a stick in his hand. Asking me only yes/no questions, tell me why he is in the field and how did he die?”

I love Black Stories, this was the first one I have solved/played years ago.

I won't give away the answer, that would not be f air

I love them as well! I only know a couple, but I first heard them at a summer camp and they’re a great way to pass time with new friends while traveling.

I'm ok with having some hards! It's a Board Game Society some of them can like a bit of challenge!
