Making Multi Purpose Puzzles

  • Speaker: Ethan Clark

It's hard enough making a puzzle that does one thing. How do you design a puzzle that does multiple things? We'll talk about puzzles with multiple solutions, puzzles with multiple emotional responses, and puzzles with multiple "bigger picture" purposes.

This talk was presented at ThinkyCon 2025, a developer conference about all aspects of the creation of thinky games.
