Midwest Gridfest Special
A little over a week ago, I attended the first annual Midwest Crossword Tournament (aka Midwest Gridfest ) in Chicago. It was my first time in Chicago, and first time meeting a bunch of amazing crossword friends in person. Hope to see you (and many more) next year! I'm posting because I brought a puzzle to the tournament to share, as is custom. It's a cryptic activity placemat, featuring a maze that's also a cryptic crossword (a format I'd like to explore further in the future). Given the nature of the puzzle, I have it available only in pdf. Please enjoy, (and solve in crayon if possible, just for fun). Special thanks to Kelsey for the amazing design work, Dob for logistical support, and juff and skald for the test solves! [ pdf ]
