Puzzle designer Sandy Weiss joins us again to talk all things puzzles. We dive more deeply into creating elegant puzzles that connect within their narrative context, and we talk about bringing puzzly games to various audiences. Sandy shares his perspective on Noms, or nicknames, at the National Puzzlers League, and we also talk a bit about his course curriculum and our shared love of Blood on the Clock Tower.

This clip is a bit of a teaser for our new show, PG's Playhouse, which will feature games, puzzles, and a short chat. Here, we talk a bit about inspirations for puzzles, and then we play a game that I created for Sandy.
