RSS Feed

This is for suggesting puzzles in games released in 2018 which you think might be worth considering for Best Individual Puzzle in the XYZZY awards.

This is not a zeroth-round nomination.This is not an official list. The point of poll is partly to suggest games that others might want to check out, partly as your own reminder for when XYZZY season comes around.

Please mention the puzzle you are voting for when upvoting. This isn't intended as a straw poll; please don't upvote games already on the list, unless you are adding a separate puzzle.
