A show all about puzzles, games, brainteasers, mysteries, riddles, and lateral thinking. It’s an exploration of the quandaries of our lives, a journey through the mysteries of the world, driven by curiosity and wonder. Either that, or it's a bunch of audio files with some puzzles thrown in. Depends on how cynical you are.

Customer Reviews
Great!!
But where’d you go? I used to listen every week on Spotify but there haven’t been new episodes in ages :( miss you guys and the puzzles.
Best podcast of its kind, hands down.
This podcast is the very best riddle and puzzle podcast I have ever listened to, but it is hard to ignore its inconsistent upload schedule. I love the episodes, but more would be awesome. After all, they haven’t uploaded in well over a year. All in all, still awesome.
We love it!
My family and I love to figure out the puzzles from this podcast! I hope the creators come out with more! Well done!
