The women&#8217;s cut shirt fit nicely (which should not be taken for granted), if just a little long in a small size. No shirts were destroyed while solving any puzzles, so this game was its own souvenir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795 There was a ton of gameplay packed into the shirts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795 The web interface for inputting answers was solid. It had been slimmed down from its role in CU Adventures&#8217; digital + printable games, which worked well here. The shirt was the star of the show and the digital interface added gating, solution validation, and hints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795 To make the product more accessible to less experienced puzzlers, there was an easy mode. Easy mode consisted of an extra pamphlet shipped with the shirt. Players can opt in by opening this pamphlet at any time. This additional information was elegantly worked into the game and added character while softening the difficulty curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795 The hint system was solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2753\/\u2796 Graphically, these are eye-catching shirts. But when you wear it around and someone inevitably asks you about it, I think the conversation leads to the awkward, &#8220;It&#8217;s a puzzle! But no, you can&#8217;t solve it now&#8230; and no, I can&#8217;t really explain it to you either.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795 We need to take a moment to appreciate that<em> Solve Our Shirts<\/em> is SOS&#8230; and their incorporation of Morse code into their branding was brilliant. &#8230;&#8212;&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips For Players<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Space Requirements: a small table<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Required Gear: pen and paper, scissors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t try to solve the shirt while wearing it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We recommend solving with a buddy.
