Hi everyone I hope that those of you who tried my first puzzle mystery enjoyed it. A lot of people seemed to like it, and it was successful enough that Im already working on season 2. This time around, Im going to apply all of my learnings from the first one to make the second one much better. The story is being written by an award winning sci-fi/fantasy author, and the puzzles are going to be more polished, more integrated with the story and more enjoyable. This is where I need your help. Last time, I waited until I was done with the whole thing before I asked for beta testers and feedback. This was helpful, but I think it would be more helpful this time around, if I got feedback as I go along. If you want to get early access to my next puzzle experience and help me test the puzzles, please let me know here or via PM. I'll email 1-2 puzzles per week to anyone who wants to help. If you dont have time every week, or if a puzzle doesn't look interesting, no problem. Just try the ones that look interesting and let me know what you think. Anyone who helps out will get free access to the full experience when it is completed. Thanks!

I'd be very interested in testing the puzzles.

Oh, one thing that would be useful to me as a tester: for beta testing, I tend to be very reluctant to take hints because I feel part of my job is helping to determine if the puzzle is solvable without them. If it's a puzzle I know what to do with, I actually don't mind taking a lot of time if it's just me being slow, but when I'm up against the "what do I do now?" wall, or hit something that just doesn't seem to work even if I know how to do it, it might be good if I knew your expectations for timing and the expected need for hints on any particular puzzle. Just a general "try this for x amount of time before asking for a hint" type guideline would be useful. If x is a few hours and I'm moving into days, I'll know to toss in the hint towel a lot more quickly than if x is high

Good idea. I'll try to setup appropriate expectations for each puzzle. And you can always ask me for a hint or to see if you are on the right track.
