Ep. 152 Designing A Puzzle Box For Your Next Murder Mystery

Like most people, we love a good murder mystery.  One of the often overlooked elements to creating an excellent experience is the invitation.  How do you get everyone together in a memorable way?  Well in the movie Glass Onion, they nailed it by creating the most elaborate puzzle box ever made.  We take a look at all the elements, including Magic Eye, a Japanese Sliding box, the music of Sebastian Bach, and the impossible to complete “Golf Tee Jumping Game”.  We also consider the rise of the “Tech Bro Supervillain”, and the relationship between madness and genius.  Do you need to be eccentric to be considered brilliant?  Listen to find out!

The awesome art for this episode was borrowed from a New Yorker article, and was illustrated by Kristian Hammerstad.
