An Introduction

You have come seeking answers. I perceive it at once, from the way you clicked the button to read more.

“An Introduction” may have led you to deduce that this is something of an About Us section. A reasonable inference, but entirely wrong. There is no Us, only myself: Philip Dale, founder, lead designer, reluctant web developer and chief Puzzle Master of Puzzling Events.

I wear a great many hats at present. But with your help, dear customer, I hope to share them out as this puzzling endeavor grows.

My background is in animation and film, which is not, I grant you, the usual training of a puzzle master. Yet the connection is plain once you look for it. Done well, with craft and creativity, a story and a puzzle both lead you, one clue at a time, to a moment of beautiful revelation.

The only thing sweeter than the aha moment is one that is shared. That is the reason for Puzzling Events, you could say its my mission: to weave stories with puzzles, that bring people, communities, fandoms and families together.

Now, have you something to reveal, celebrate or surprise someone with? Then let us talk. The game is afoot!
