Castle Conundrum

Congrats on your win! This one had my vote too, and I see I wasn't alone in enjoying it. You hit just the right balance in puzzle difficulty, and in between puzzle and plot, and that's something that was apparently difficult in the ten day limit you all had. Most of the other entries focused on one aspect to the exclusion of the other, but yours IMO came together as a complete game and the most solid and satisfying in both areas.

Even though the plot was extremely straightforward, the writing was solid and the viewpoint character had a good voice, and the game was just funny, and fun. Great puzzles too, though at this point that probably goes without saying.

Well this was a fun puzzle game! In the end I didn’t mind that there was not much story as there was a clear purpose behind the protagonist’s journey and the riddles all made me think (I even had to table all the information down for the nurse one, props for that), but were still solvable on my own. The Monty Python reference was also quite funny, I knew what was going to happen right away but I still laughed at the ending.

I also think you had enough of the character in there that we could connect with their situation on some basic level. This game was pleasant and fun to play, but I can’t rate it higher than 5/8, as it is quite short and the plot is very basic. However I do think this is the best puzzle/riddle, not including my own entry.

+1 rating bump just for the hilarious shoutout to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I had a lot of fun with the riddles, which were original, well-constructed, and really made me think. I do worry about the intelligence of the people in your fantasy setting though, if it took 9734 of them before someone could succeed, but then again, I suppose the lack of education and literacy might have worked against them!

All in all, the setting was very straightforward, but written with such sass and satire that I enjoyed reading through it all the same. The grammar and spelling was flawless and the scripting that went into the convoluted riddle answers worked smoothly. It was very linear, but then again, I didn't mind it in this set up - I only wish there were more riddles to keep the fun going.

All in all, fantastic work, and pretty much everything you could ask for from a riddle game.

Weird

It's ok oa a good time killer oa honestly oa

I adore logic puzzles, so this was so fun. My favorite puzzle so far

I really had fun with this, and I especially loved the nurse's logic puzzle!

The puzzles were good. The story that ties the puzzles together is very "basic" though and doesn't make much sense, also the hospital riddle that included blood types clashes hard with the otherwise medieval fantasy theme. Thumbs up for the Monthy Python reference, though.

So hard

ooh boy that was fun. i had to get a piece of paper, but even then it was hard. we need more puzzles like this
