"Art" that I made for a weekend puzzle/scavenger hunt

[sgt-reckless]

Oh hell yea, Galactic Puzzlehunt is tomorrow! Excited!

Oooh, hyper-specific polls are back in style!

CRK's new Windmill Garden feature just gave me the space I needed to write my kingdom's bonus puzzle: a memorial to two puzzlehunters.

A Chocolate Altar of the Fallen will sit at the entry to the bonus puzzle area.

From what I've heard, the new feature sounds pretty great for people who go crazy decorating their kingdom. Never been big on decorating when I played, but I'm glad that people no longer have to give up functionality to have a cute layout <:P That sounds like a pretty cool idea, good luck on it! (｡･∀･)ﾉﾞ

Love the art so much :)

I still have the IO au in my puzzle list for CR/HS puzzlehunt. I aim to make it one of the harder puzzles in the round :3

Ayy tyy!!!

Also I gotta admit you've got me a bit curious, how do the puzzle hunts work? They sound pretty interesting

[tea-the-not-understanding]

Yup, vanilla extract cookie's taking a slot in my puzzlehunt round :)

Are there any other TBD OCs you made?

Actually yes I do! These two are like, nearly demi god in my au Timeless ( the one on the bottom left ), she's the one who got the most attentions out of all due to her chaotic nature and being too powerful that timekeeper having a hard time looking over her all the times

Clockwork how ever ( top right ) is the opposite of Timeless, he do not have any magics or power at all and a very hard worker in both paper works, keeping tracks of records, fixing machines like croissant job and a lead manager of some part of the TBD. Sadly, this doesn't give him the recognition or praises like his sister and only he and Vanilla extract are the one who constantly getting bullied and judge by others for fun. So in the end, it lead him to do something terrible that grant him powers and done some bad things. Causing pain to others and being banished into the time pocket dimension where he can't bother others or do any bad things for a while.

never thought my puzzlehunt experience would help in reading that text :3

(im fluent in morse code)

Honestly, I'm damn impressed people would actually go that far in trying to unravel the puzzle of the ARG, even if it's just in the form of reference sheets for now since the first couple vids for the CRK ARG are in pre-production. Since my budget is a little tight, I felt it was fair to make something that is a bit easier but also fun for others!

I might end up spicing things up for this ARG!

[pure-vanilla-lilies]

i might make crtwt officially part of my DNI, unless a member is an active puzzlehunter with a top 5 team affiliation

That’s understandable honestly! Crtwt is honestly scary at this point! That’s why I prefer here because people are very chill here!!

Intro Post!

i just realized i never made an intro post so here it is :0

i'm prox, 22, and i've been doing digital art since 2012. i bounce around between fandoms a lot (see tag list below the cut) but if you send in a request related to my current fandom(s) i may draw it if i have time!

i have done a lot of minecraft art, and also created the prismbreak mc texture pack which you can check out here! i update it through my community discord, where other people also post art and similar creative works!

other things i'm into: music, quizbowl, puzzling/puzzlehunting

unfortunately i am a pretty busy student so posting on this blog is pretty sporadic sorry :( but i would definitely write a post if i was leaving tumblr entirely which i don't anticipate happening anytime soon!

i did brown puzzlehunt 2024 (link!) with members of test solution bees ignore! the automated tools in their spreadsheet template kept pushing my pre-hunt drawing backward so that people couldn't see it upon opening our sheet

(full disclosure, this was referenced from another artist's work - can't take full credit for it)

bph24 was a really wide hunt with lots of small rounds, featuring tons of top-notch art and non-static presentation. i liked it a lot! it just wasn't really a single-weekend sort of hunt, so our team of 4 didn't finish before the event ended lol

solutions won't be available for a bit, so i'll non-spoiler-ily list off some stuff that i really liked and would recommend checking out:

I might be biased because it was the only one from the round that actually worked well during the hunt (their website had load issues), but letter troxd was fun and simple: https://www.brownpuzzlehunt.com/puzzle/lettertroxd if you're reading this soon after i posted it, the website might not work without a login, sorry!

there was a short story murder mystery puzzle called the god of the labyrinth which was cool! i think this is a currently underexplored puzzle hunt genre, so i like seeing more of them, although it's always a time investment to read and digest one. this is accessible as a pdf here: https://www.flipbookpdf.net/web/files/uploads/f465b8d06c51eb130b2b8bfdd04181797ff97bb8202404.pdf

instagram was a pretty nice puzzle also, although it takes a keen eye (and having a working instagram account) to spot all of the relevant details on the page. the puzzle is entirely contained in this account page: https://www.instagram.com/ray.of.sunshine1997/

and the last one i'll mention is committing financial crimes, a konundrum where you fill out a really stupid irs form. as usual i willingly subjected myself to this and it was definitely cursed. the whole thing is accessible from this drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GRNNzrWRSzcuVzHmZsA_ZMD3gDlvGNZI/view i think they manually verified our solution to this?

i had a lot of fun! super props to the puzzle club at brown university for putting this on. no rest for the weary though because cmu is next :)

(oh, and i also assume the data meta is actually quite cool - but we haven't finished it yet so i can't say for sure that it all holds up to scrutiny. here's hoping though)

Stormbringer and the deities meet the beta kids in my puzzlehunt project. Each of four rounds pairs a beta kid with one of the deities/stormbringer. I’m hashing out the full story while I write the puzzles.

Always happy to share more with ya if you like :)

ooh!!! :O please do!!!!

[daily-roguefort]

That 4/13 roguefort not only roped me back into CRK, it sparked inspiration for a CR/HS (pronounced CRASH) puzzlehunt project, which is progressing well :3

OHHHHH that sounds so fun!! you absolutely should share progress with us.

[vanillaverses]

It's a crossover CR/HS puzzlehunt, and I tied Stormbringer to Dave Strider because of the 1/2bladekind strife specibus :3

oh my god would it be called cookiestuck or homerun or some secret evil third thing

[pumpkajelly]

To this day, I still use stuff I learned from riddles/lateral thinking puzzles to solve puzzlehunts :)

Oooh awesome! (❁´◡`❁) also. I SOLVED IT!!!

[the-post-crow]

currently scoping a puzzlehunt project, four rounds of puzzles plus a final capstone puzzle.

hope the burnout goes away soon :)

Oop

If I ever become a famous musician, I’m naming all of my songs in the style of Cryptic crosswords just to give puzzlehunt makers something to do
