Today’s “Best of the Month” post is 1 day early again… because Tuesdays are for REPOD! And tomorrow, we’ll be bringing you a special Halloween REPOD: Peih-Gee’s Spectacular Spooky Special.
But as always, we’re helping you out with a monthly column that highlights the strongest and most interesting content that we published this month.
Watch the RECON 23 Talks on YouTube
Throughout October, we released each talk from RECON Remote 23 on the Room Escape Artist YouTube channel. You can now watch them all again at your leisure. Check out the recent write ups by Lee-Fay Low and Richard Burns for a little RECON Remote behind the scenes!
Please note, due to this month’s events, we postponed the re-release of the RECON Remote talk “Not Another Puzzle Design Talk” until a later date to support our Israeli speakers and their community. Gai and Lee and their families are safe and our thoughts are with them.
