Terin's Perplexity Emporium

Life is a Boomerang.  What you give, you get.

To celebrate finally winning a game since 2018... I am going to start giving away games on a regular basis but behind some puzzles, quiz, and other various perplexities... They might take you over the internet or just even closer. Most of the games will be from bundles but they might not always be...

The formatting of this post will likely evolve over time but most times I will post what games are involved and how to start. We will see where this goes and let me know if you have any ideas or thoughts on it.

Hope you all had fun!
