Ministry of Lost Things: Lint ConditionPostCuriousEscape roomTabletopSO FLIPPING CUTE!! I've been a huge fan of every single Postcurious puzzletale, and MOLT is a particularly adorable and whimsical addition to their catalog. It's impressive how many ahas (and puns) they packed into a small package, with sky-high levels of meticulous design and enthralling illustration throughout. Highly recommend, especially as a more accessible (but no less satisfying) entry point to the Postcurious lineup. I eagerly await future MOLT cases!
Puzzle MenuFunbi GamesEscape roomTabletopPhenomenal puzzle fest, with some pretty tricky puzzles in the mix (but all very fair and well clued!) I enjoyed seeing how Funbi really pushed the difficulty in this one, and I hope to one day see a longer-form puzzle book from him extending this style. If you're in for a challenge, this one is worth checking out!
Lost in MineFunbi GamesEscape roomTabletopSoooo many layers to this one! It's incredibly impressive how much gameplay Funbi managed to pack into the humble zine format, supplemented by a robust web app (which was also a really great mini graphic novel of sorts!) Highly recommend!
Nine Codes: The InitiationFunbi GamesEscape roomTabletopFunbi increasingly has a distinctive personal style, and I love it. Nine Codes: The Initiation presented a series of more bite-sized puzzles that are each cute, clever, and satisfying. Utilizing a range of puzzle mechanics, this game would provide a ton of fun for newbies and experienced solvers alike.
Nine Codes: The TycoonFunbi GamesEscape roomTabletopA delightful, clever, and highly accessible entry point to Funbi's wonderful world of puzzles. I'm really enjoying this "Nine Codes" format — lots of rapid dopamine hits, easily solvable in a single sitting — and I hope he continues to make more mini games in this style! I particularly enjoyed the illustration style in this one.

Mystery in the GalleriesThe Mystery League RemoteEscape roomTabletopMystery in the Galleries captures all the most magical elements of a puzzle hunt and elegantly distills them into a tactile tabletop game that's quite approachable for a more general audience. Varied puzzles layer on each other brilliantly, leading into a satisfying metapuzzle.

Thornbright Mansion: Chapter 2EnvelescapeEscape roomTabletopSome of the worst puzzle design I've seen in any tabletop game. The popup itself is decent but quite flimsy and unsatisfying.
