Elevation: A Call for Players

2006-08-06T17:40:57Z

I'm gearing up to run a net/LJ game called Elevation, essentially a reverse-Survivor with puzzle-based challenges. And, well, I am in the market for players. Participation requires two to twenty minutes a week, although winning might require more active gameplay.

If you're at all interested, please check out the story and rules. And maybe even sign up to play!

My favourite kind of puzzles are Cryptograms, I enjoy making something from what looks like nothing,

So this isn't exaclty a puzzle, but it is a mental workout...

Try to think of a really good caption that would go with this picture:

Sorry if this really isn’t allowed, I’ll delete it. Thanks in advance everyone! :)

I apologise in advance if this isn't right for this community, but it is to do with crosswords.
I'm making a present for my crossword mad sister.. basically it's a doona cover that has a crossword "board" stitched on.
What I need is a stack of crossword puzzles/clues that all work on the one "board" layout so she can do them in washable ink, then wash it and do another.
I hope that makes sense.
Do such things exist or am I going to have to design and write the crosswords
myself?
Any help in the form of links, another community, etc would be very much appreciated.

Hello all!

I just joined the community and love crosswords as well. In the spirit of the season, here's a nifty Halloween crossword puzzle, done in flash.

I noticed a post about writing prompts and thought this might help

Messina's Astronomical Clock.

"Find the letters and cause them to sing, look at not just what's there, and what's also lacking"

The answer can be found in this extract from a tourist guidebook:

"...Peasant or king, saint or queen, no-one could deny just how special this clock had become. This clock consisted of several layers, with displays presenting Biblical zealotry, historical pageantry or scientific tableaux. One display highlighted the passage of youth, from baby to the gaunt old widower. Not only this, daily the Beast came to life to xylophonic tones..."
