Like crossword, sudoku, or logic puzzles on steroids.
Often part of the puzzle is figuring out the rules of the puzzle itself.
If you're as nerdy as I am and interested in them, here's where to find these:

And they put old puzzle packs on their website.

The St. Valentine's Day Massacre and Independence Day Fireworks are each annual games.
You get an atlas and a set of tricky route instructions.
You virtually follow the instructions in the atlas and answer questions, while avoiding the tricks.

And of course there's escape rooms.
You'll likely have many rooms of different brands where you live, so check reviews.
In Los Angeles, I've had a great experience at every @60outEscapeRoom I've gone to.

So I haven't tried them.
I'd love to hear if anyone's had experience with these.
