STEVE GELLER, MUSICIAN

I am the editor of an extremely unique online contest:  an interactive book of puzzles that is also a treasure hunt, in which participants that solve the puzzles and use this information to "find the Grandmaster Key" can win thousands of dollars worth of prizes.  The creator of this puzzle contest (52 Master Pieces) is my friend David Cohen, who appears multiple times throughout this site.  Having looked at and tried to solve many armchair treasure hunts together ("armchair treasure hunt" means that it can be solved in one's own home, rather than traveling to find physical clues), we believe that this is one of the best of such offerings in the history of the genre.  Every type of puzzle that we could think of is included in some way in the book, including wordplay, ciphers and codes, spatial rearrangmenet puzzles, logic puzzles, brainteasers, matching puzzles, illusions, interactive games, recontextualization puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, sudoku, and more.  The 40-page section in the middle of the book, where the "hardcore" puzzles are located, is truly unlike anything I have ever seen in a similar book, and will provide hours of challenging fun to puzzlers of all skill levels.

 

In addition to editing the text of the book and brainstorming toward the creation of several of the puzzles, I created or modified several of the graphics in the book, edited and sometimes provided music for the instructional and promotional videos related to the contest, and will serve as one of the contest's Webmasters and moderators.
