Ryan Veeder<p>There almost wasn't an imPROMPTu <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/EnigMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnigMarch</span></a> prompt in the month of June but then a hero stepped in and decided that the prompt was FALL. So the puzzle is: dropquotes <a href="https://rcveeder.net/enigmarch25/puzzle34.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">rcveeder.net/enigmarch25/puzzl</span><span class="invisible">e34.html</span></a></p>
Ryan Veeder<p>The <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/EnigMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnigMarch</span></a> people put out an imPROMPTu prompt and it's FORCE so we're gonna check in with the Pergola Mimic again. <a href="https://rcveeder.net/enigmarch25/puzzle33.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">rcveeder.net/enigmarch25/puzzl</span><span class="invisible">e33.html</span></a></p><p>I don't think I can keep up this pattern of reversing the original monster order—unless the next imPROMPTu prompt is TOMTOM or WAZE</p>
EnigMarch<p>Did you think the puzzling was over? Now it's Ahapril, a time for solving the puzzles created last month at a more leisurely pace. Also, if you participated in <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/EnigMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnigMarch</span></a> as a designer or solver, we'd be grateful if you filled out our survey so we can keep improving. Why not let us know what you thought, suggest some prompts, or send in a new idea for next year! <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScjvxQh7oiRxizZhy28pDWtcScPQHSlvI-tlWrjSZiUQ40krQ/viewform?usp=dialog" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI</span><span class="invisible">pQLScjvxQh7oiRxizZhy28pDWtcScPQHSlvI-tlWrjSZiUQ40krQ/viewform?usp=dialog</span></a></p>
EnigMarch<p>Congratulations to everyone who participated in <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/EnigMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnigMarch</span></a>! 🏆 We hope you enjoyed the puzzle-packed journey and maybe even learned a thing or two along the way. Why not look back at all the 2025 prompts and relive the journey once more? Maybe there’s something else you could learn along the way….</p>
Ryan Veeder<p>The <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/EnigMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnigMarch</span></a> people revealed an imPROMPTu prompt, and the prompt is "PROMPT," so, here's another puzzle, featuring the Crystal Devil, again <a href="https://rcveeder.net/enigmarch25/puzzle32.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">rcveeder.net/enigmarch25/puzzl</span><span class="invisible">e32.html</span></a></p>
Sarah<p>I thought I might be out of ideas for <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/EnigMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnigMarch</span></a>, but today I skimmed CYOA #151, Gunfire at Gettysburg (pretty dark stuff!), and later I saw an epigraph by Fred Rogers, and now this puzzle exists for day 28 (prompt: DRAW).</p><p><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kpODop8SWUVgnC9AJQ0Y9PuPduRSCZms9DVj5U3xAeo/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d</span><span class="invisible">/1kpODop8SWUVgnC9AJQ0Y9PuPduRSCZms9DVj5U3xAeo/edit?usp=sharing</span></a></p>
EnigMarch<p>After a 30-day whirlwind of puzzle design, the <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/EnigMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnigMarch</span></a> prompt for March 31 is...PUZZLE. Good luck!</p>
EnigMarch<p>We are almost at the end of our puzzling journey! The <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/EnigMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnigMarch</span></a> prompt for March 30 is ROUTE.</p>
EnigMarch<p>Three more days to go! The <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/EnigMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnigMarch</span></a> prompt for March 29 is COMPASS.</p>
Sarah<p>The <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/EnigMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnigMarch</span></a> prompt for day 26 is PLAY, so I found the CYOA book with "play" in the title—#135, Playoff Champion—and made a drop quote puzzle loosely related to it. (I still don't get why they put a kid in charge of the baseball team, but it must've been someone's idea of an adventure.)</p><p><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gpTj4tsE_uErt6PzA2FUPCQexIXpNIuU5JLUHnZ6ZRw/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d</span><span class="invisible">/1gpTj4tsE_uErt6PzA2FUPCQexIXpNIuU5JLUHnZ6ZRw/edit?usp=sharing</span></a></p>
EnigMarch<p>The finish line is just around the corner now! The <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/EnigMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnigMarch</span></a> prompt for March 27 is LOOP.</p>
Sarah<p>Here's an <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/EnigMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnigMarch</span></a> puzzle for day 24 (prompt: SEARCH) inspired by CYOA #68, Secret of the Sun God, which has a hidden temple and a mysterious writing system in it.</p><p>And a version to copy/fill in: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ipvoiuWFf7wYWpfTwdRbOgFvOlKxoTOKIYtzwklrf_Q/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d</span><span class="invisible">/1ipvoiuWFf7wYWpfTwdRbOgFvOlKxoTOKIYtzwklrf_Q/edit?usp=sharing</span></a></p>
LAHosken 🇺🇸👀<p>It is March and the lovely <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://peoplemaking.games/@enigmarch" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>enigmarch</span></a></span> people have challenged puzzle designers to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "play".</p><p>Oh no! The USA clown President Trump and his buffoonish adviser Elon Musk don't understand gender and they throw tantrums when trans women play women's sports. These clowns say they're worried that men will pretend to be trans to peep in the women's changing room. As if the problem there is trans women—anyone who only claims to want to participate in some activity just to peek in the changing room is a menace, no matter what their gender, even if everyone agrees on what that gender is. For example, Trump bought some beauty pageants. For years, he barged into dressing pageant dressing rooms. His gender wasn't the problem, just the creepiness.</p><p>Can you figure out what these words are supposed to be? Some clown has stuck 🄼 and 🄵 labels on them, getting it wrong every time. For example, they saw someone playing and said they were FlaMing. You might worry that it's ambiguous: How did we know it was playing and not blazing or glaring or clawing or… Don't worry, we have clues for the words. You can see we already crossed out the clue for playing. OK, you can worry a little: the clues aren't in order; you'll have to think to figure out which goes with which word.</p><p>When you're done, the circled letters will spell a word for a better way to celebrate our country's might than chasing some women out of sports.</p><p>Full puzzle text, rot-13'd hints and solution at <a href="https://lahosken.san-francisco.ca.us/new/2025/03/26/enigmarch-play/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lahosken.san-francisco.ca.us/n</span><span class="invisible">ew/2025/03/26/enigmarch-play/</span></a> Also, on that page the "Day 20" is a link to a page that will tell you what the Day 20 word was, in case you didn't memorize all the EnigMarch keywords.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/EnigMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnigMarch</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/puzzle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>puzzle</span></a></p>

I got distracted writing a puzzle for #EnigMarch day 22 (prompt: BOARD) because I started reading CYOA #112: Skateboard Champion and it's amazing. There are at least FOUR choice points where you can decide to give up skateboarding, and if you're lucky, you might stumble into an incredibly awesome action movie about a kid who's a pretty ok skater and stops a crime ring.

Anyway, here's a puzzle:

Steve Gordon is the greatest skateboarder you’ve ever seen, and he’s agreed to teach you everything he knows! It’s only prudent to take some notes on what moves you worked on today so you can stay focused on your goal.

↔️ Backside—turning around so your backside is upslope
🔄 Invert—being inverted in the air
♒️ Slaloming—a winding or zigzagging movement

INCLINE 🔄 DECLINE
STEVE ♒️ SEE
LOOP ↔️ POOL
PRESENT 🔄♒️ BET
GOOD 🔄↔️ LIVE
ANNOUNCE ♒🔄 ???
ROADTEST ♒↔️ ????
