By Sandor Weisz • Issue #68 • View online

This month we’re welcoming a lot of new subscribers from the Pilcrow Bar hunt. Hello! Welcome to the place where I send you interesting puzzle things I find online every month. This issue we’ve got 3 different puzzle sets, all raising money for good causes.

A few small plugs for The Mystery League:

If you just participated in Pilcrow Bar and you want something similar for your company (either for marketing or for team-building), get in touch.
I’ve also been putting hour-long trivia games for team-building. They combine trivia and a little bit of puzzles. Again, get in touch if you’d like to discuss that for your team.
I’m also on Twitter @pzlr where I’m posting free (not-so-daily) puzzles again.
Finally, you can become a patron via this newsletter service, for $2/month.

Thank you!

The Social Distancing Puzzles

Veteran puzzle designer Eric Berlin is offering 11 very accessible puzzles to solve with a partner, over Zoom or in the same room. To download, he’s asking that you make a donation to Feeding America. I got to playtest these puzzles and I loved ‘em all.

Puzzle Pop!

Puzzle Pop! by Kid Beyond and friends is a Father’s Day-themed set of puzzles benefitting the Equal Justice Initiative. A great set of puzzles, for a great cause. The Mother’s Day set, benefitting Every Mother Counts (and to which my kids and I contributed a puzzle) is also still available.
