| | | | Enigmarch, A Daily Puzzle Challenge in March is in Full Swing!
This year, Enigmarch returns with a number of new features - a Discord channel, and a series of video interviews leading up to the event. From the website: "EnigMarch is a daily puzzle creation challenge. Every day in March, @EnigMarchHQ will share a prompt that can be used as inspiration to create any kind of puzzle you like, from cryptograms to mazes to chess problems to those fruit-counting ones you see on Facebook. All skill levels are welcome, from expert puzzlesmiths to absolute beginners—you don’t have to create a masterpiece, just something that’s convincingly a puzzle."
