This is how I'm approaching puzzle design.

Level 112 is the first 8x8 puzzle and I'm just overwhelmed by the possibilities. I'll make something cool, I promise. But right now I'm going to go something else and maybe come back to it with my head better rested.

Blog Post 5: Finalizing the Maze Escape VR Concept

With the Maze Escape VR concept locked in, it was time to transform ideas into tangible designs. I began creating new blockouts, starting with the player’s first encounter: standing before massive, ancient walls stretching far into the sky.

The initial area was designed to overwhelm and intrigue — the maze gates would remain closed until players solved a simple puzzle placed at the entrance. This would serve as an onboarding moment, teaching players the importance of environmental observation right from the beginning.

Inside, the maze itself would be divided into Earth, Water, and Fire zones, accessible only after players retrieved specific stones. To keep exploration intuitive yet mysterious, I incorporated symmetry into the design. This helped players navigate naturally while maintaining the sense of vast, labyrinthine complexity.

Our decision to replace direct combat with puzzle-solving and evasion created a gameplay loop that felt achievable yet exciting. Players would be challenged to survive encounters with alien creatures while exploring deeper into the ever-changing maze.

The blockouts already conveyed a sense of adventure and scale that matched our VR ambitions. I couldn’t wait to see these spaces filled with detailed assets and dynamic lighting effects.

What is a Puzzle?

The Arcadia Report is, in a way, a kind of puzzle game. You are trying to find the right pieces of evidence to complete the report and solve the mystery. Finding certain clues will require you to connect the clues. I intend to avoid technical puzzles in the sense of crosswords, ciphers, etc. Instead, evidence will rely on needing to find the right two pieces of information to fit together in order to understand the evidence (ex: find a suspect from a photo and use that to identify them in the CCTV footage).

However, basic principles of puzzle-crafting still apply and that’s where I need to learn as much as possible.

What is a Puzzle, According to Scott Kim

I saw this article referenced in The Art of Game Design by Jesse Schell and, thanks to the power of the Wayback Machine, was able to give it a read.

Kim starts with a deceivingly simple but accurate definition from Stan Issacs:

A puzzle is fun

It has a right answer

Key Points:

“Puzzles that are too easy are disappointing; puzzles that are too hard are discouraging.”

“My first job as a puzzle designer is to tailor my puzzles to the tastes of my audience.”

There does not have to be only one right answer.

He also examines the differences between games, puzzles, toys, and stories using Chris Crawford’s definitions. Two particularly relevant for me:

Puzzles are rule-based systems, like games, but the goal is to find a solution, not to beat an opponent. Unlike games, puzzles have little replay value.

Toys are manipulable, like puzzles, but there is no fixed goal.

This produces a useful rule of thumb, according to Kim:

“To design a good puzzle, first build a good toy. The player should have fun just manipulating the puzzle, even before reaching a solution.”

He also points out that “puzzles are solitary affairs, unlike games.” This is interesting to me because not all games that use puzzles are solitary. In particular, this presents an interesting challenge for my project to see how I can make it a puzzle that multiple players can enjoy.

Kim’s Lessons for Puzzle Designers:

The two main skills for solving puzzles are ingenuity and patience.

Be sure the player is challenged by the puzzle itself, not the controls for the puzzle.

If you’re going to ask players to take a long trip, be sure they enjoy the journey.

The Arcadia Report might not be a traditional puzzle game, but all three of those lessons are revenant. In particular, ‘be sure they enjoy the journey’ is an important reminder for me not only in the clues but in all the mechanics, especially when it comes to searching and reading through files.
