Puzzle Menu serves up a veritable feast of tasty puzzles to enjoy. This food-themed game takes the form of an actual menu. Your task? Discover the elusive secret menu item that can only be unlocked by solving a series of devious puzzles. As there is no clearly defined starting point, the first challenge is working out where to begin. The puzzles are broadly non-linear, so you can tackle most of them in any order. Each is themed around a 'special combo' menu item, including food items like pancakes, sausages or sugar cubes. These form the basis of six puzzles that solve to a single word. As you progress through the game, you'll collect your answers on the back page. These can then be used to solve a very fun meta puzzle, which left me with a grin on my face. It was very satisfying to solve! Puzzle Menu was the toughest of the set, with a difficulty rating of 4/5. It took me a while to finish it, but I was motivated to push through by the well-constructed puzzles and aha moments. Once I'd finished, I felt very smug! One of the aspects I loved about this game was the fact that it only requires a pen/pencil. There is zero internet or app use, which was refreshing and delightfully freeing.
