Puzzled Pint ( @PuzzledPint) is a monthly event held in local bars around the world.
You have to solve a puzzle to find where it& #39;s located each month.
Not a competition - just for fun.
And they put old puzzle packs on their website.

And of course there& #39;s escape rooms.
You& #39;ll likely have many rooms of different brands where you live, so check reviews.
In Los Angeles, I& #39;ve had a great experience at every @60outEscapeRoom I& #39;ve gone to.

I& #39;ve looked into mystery box subscriptions like Hunt a Killer.
From reviews, they seem way overpriced and not very good.
So I haven& #39;t tried them.
I& #39;d love to hear if anyone& #39;s had experience with these.
