Bonus news: Many people have asked over the years, since it went out of print, how to get “Puzzlecraft: The Ultimate Guide on How to Construct Every Kind of Puzzle” which I co-authored with Mike Selinker for a reasonable price and not the ~$200 on Amazon. I’m excited to announce that Lone Shark Games is releasing an updated Puzzlecraft, which has been expanded with several new sections and puzzles.

A print copy of the updated Puzzlecraft can be pre-ordered at Lone Shark Games here.

If you want a PDF e-book now, I’m excited to say this title has been included in a Game Design and Puzzlecraft collection on Humble Bundle with proceeds going to Girls who Code and Girls Make Games. Going this way, you will also receive a 20% off coupon for the print copy on the Lone Shark Games site.

So go ahead and purchase via:
