This was my entry for Logic Showcase #34 on Puzzlers Club, “Not Hatred but Fear”. The prompt was to submit Skyscraper variants, which could either be variants of the Skyscraper genre, or using Skyscraper clues in other genres, which is what I did.
I constructed this one at the end of the fantastic Voxas Vacation daily contest over on Logic Masters India. I wanted to explore some unusual logic using only grey dots and I really like how the break-in turned out.
This was my entry for Logic Showcase #33 on Puzzlers Club, “Evil Twin”. The prompt was to construct a puzzle which is both valid with vanilla rules as well as some Liar variant. I ended up winning the showcase, but I have to assume part of that was the small number of participants that month.
After solving many of Stef’s amazing daily Castle Walls on Twitter, I wanted to try my hand at making one of these myself. I struggled for a while to make the theme work without creating any shortcuts that would let solvers skip the intended break-in.
I’m still not super familiar with this genre, but this was one of the first puzzles where I tried to go for a logical theme instead of just seeing where the solve path takes me and I think it turned out alright.
