This is one of my favorite puzzle things that I've ever done, and I highly recommend it. As a fan of The Witness, I think you'll enjoy this quite a bit. The puzzles are intentionally designed to be somewhat obscure and not hold your hand in any way, so you really have to figure out what you're supposed to do every step of the way. There isn't really a learning curve as a result; we're all flustered by them at first and then eventually figure them out. The design is also very cool; you solve page 1 of a mailing and it gives you something you need to solve page 2 and so on and so forth until you get to the last page and figure out the final answer. Bonus is that the artwork is gorgeous.

The first issue, March 2017 took me a few days of on/off ( a few hours total ) , still working on April ( kinda stuck )...and I haven't had a chance to look at the others yet ( I ordered the full year, so I received 1-9 immediately and now just waiting for the monthly mailing of the next 3.

10 envelopes full of puzzling goodness arrived in today's post! Enjoy! Don't be afraid to look at the wikia or ask for help if you need it. Do bear in mind that in most cases (i) leads to (ii), (ii) leads to (iii) etc so whilst you may be tempted to try and solve (v) before (ii) for example, it's rarely a good idea. Better to move onto a different month's (i) instead.

Imagine, just as I am about to ask Jack to resend Dec 2017, it finally shows up in my mailbox. I assume the Mail Gods are displeased with me for some reason, and so they delay to the very last moment one of the few things I still treasure. But at least it arrived!

I got Dec 2017 at the end of Jan 2018, so I expect Jan 2018 at the end of Feb 2018. No fault of the sender, just the reality of cross Atlantic Ocean mail.
