In this episode, Ossandra interviews Brett Kuehner, aka That Guy With The Puzzles.
Brett Kuehner has designed puzzles and control system technology for escape rooms across the US and even a few in the UK, including puzzles for Netflix promotions and the tech for Risa Puno's Privilege of Escape. He also collects mechanical puzzles. A lot of mechanical puzzles. Puzzle boxes are his favorite (but don't tell the other puzzles, they might get jealous). He plays escape rooms wherever and whenever he can, and encourages new designers by teaching classes on escape room design and puzzle creation. He maintains a collection of links to articles on all aspects of escape room development, from narrative to puzzles to tech, at http://thatguywiththepuzzles.com.
