EXTRA: The power of puzzle games with Thinky Games’ Joseph Mansfield

In this episode of Indieventure Extra, Rachel chats with puzzle bestie and Thinky Games colleague Joseph Mansfield about - you guessed it - thinky games!

Joe is the head puzzle expert over at Thinky Games.com and is the brains behind the Thinky Games database, the Thinky Awards, ThinkyCon AND the brand new and upcoming Thinky Direct puzzle showcase! That's quite the puzzle-focused CV, not to mention his thinky-based YouTube channel Joe Plays Puzzle Games, which you should definitely check out. You can also find Joe on BlueSky and play his games over on itch.io!

The two delve into their favourite puzzle games, different puzzle design philosophies, and have a chat about the wonderful thinky community too. 

If you'd like to see the Thinky Direct, you can tune in at 10am PDT, 1pm EDT, 7pm CEST, 6pm BST on May 29th. The showcase will be livestreamed over at ThinkyGames.com, the Thinky Games Twitch page, and the Thinky Games YouTube channel. 

Joe's Hyperfixation is the YouTube channel Sounds Like!
