I’ve devised a new type of puzzle/brain-teaser, so I thought I’d jump on here to share it.
I’ve called it Noku Puzzle (for reasons that will become apparent). Here’s a little video wot I made to explain it:
I’m quite proud of it. I had the original idea for it last summer, and sat on it for a while, as I was sure that I’d discover some big flaw that would render the concept useless. So far, I haven’t.
Since finishing my last contract a few weeks ago, I thought I’d put a bit of effort into it. I massively upgraded the website, https://nokupuzzle.com, plus published a few books of Noku puzzles on Amazon, made an iOS app (although, that’s just the website again), and experimented with some videos on YouTube (not entirely convinced they work….)
You can create your own Nokus as well. Here’s my name, for example:
Sometimes, the Noku images can be quite whimsical. Some of my favourites include Elon Musk, Emma Stone and Puzzle Prime.
I hope you enjoy solving Nokus as much as I enjoyed creating them.
In other news, I’ve almost finished the first draft of a new fantasy novel as well. I’m hoping to have it all wrapped up by the end of next week…
