The Museum of Illusions, now a global sensation, actually began in Zagreb in 2015 as the brainchild of Tomislav Pamuković and Roko Živković. Wanting to break free from the corporate grind, they created a space where the mind bends reality, inspired by the hit show Brain Games on National Geographic. What started as a single museum has expanded into a worldwide franchise, but the original location in Zagreb remains a favorite for curious minds. The museum offers hands-on optical illusions a...| Atlas Obscura - Latest Articles and Places

Here's a simple two-room puzzle designed to be slotted into a larger dungeon. This one is based on Archimedes's principle that an object displaces water equal to its mass, and attempts to simplify these physics for the sake of gameplay. Keep in mind that the intended solution to this puzzle may not be obvious unless your players are familiar with the theorem, although there are alternative solutions as well.| Tales of the Lunar Lands

We ran a one-day event for Citadel LARP this past weekend (19 July), and we put our second puzzle box design into play this time. Serella Savenko helped me with every step of planning and building this one. I want to thank Elena Simon for providing the box itself, and Laurie Zolkosky for driving back to Atlanta to get the damn box because I… left it on my living room floor. Also, GFo and Ross playtested the puzzle box for me, which I appreciated immensely.| Brandes Stoddard

Via Hacker News: “Making Explainable Minesweeper” (July 2025). By “explainable Minesweeper,” the blogger means that we generate a Minesweeper level that is guaranteed solvable by perfect play — that is, for which the solution never requires “guessing” at an unknown cell (and possibly losing the game at that point). The blogger describes a procedure for creating partially explainable levels: simply generate a random level, then simulate solving it with a computer player that know...| Arthur O’Dwyer

So I’m a huge fan of games like The Room and Boxes, and I really wanted to bring some of that experience to Citadel LARP. Let’s set aside for a second the fact that the boxes in those games aren’t constrained by the cruel realities of Euclidean space the way my work must be. It doesn’t help that I don’t know a damn thing about woodworking, but I decided not to let that stop me from pouring in the effort. I was going to build a puzzle box. This is the story of that project, which wen...| Brandes Stoddard
