Howdy from Texas, Playful Profs,

Best,

Peggy

To err is human. To arr is pirate.

We have epic news. TED-Ed's hit riddle and mythology series are having a baby, and it’s a physical game called Pandora’s Legacy. It’s equal parts jigsaw puzzle, escape room and adventurous myth, and it is unlike anything we (or anyone?) has ever created. We're already getting some glowing reviews:   "Like finding a unicorn! [...] a new standard for the genre." - Tammy McLeod Puzzler, US Sudoku Champion US Jigsaw Association Founder   The only way to get your hands on Pandora's box in 2025 (and perhaps ever), will be through a Kickstarter campaign.   The campaign is launching soon, so make sure to sign up if you want to learn more or be notified when the campaign goes live. The game will only be available through Kickstarter for a limited time. Get notified Get notified I'm Alex, by the way - the guy who has overseen nearly every TED-Ed Riddle and TED-Ed Myth, and I love puzzles. I'm a two-time MIT Puzzle Hunt champion and even gave a TED Talk about how awesome puzzles are. Did I mention I love puzzles??? Pandora's Legacy is one of my proudest achievements. We’ve spent more than a year and a half developing it, and have stuffed gasps, laughs and aha moments into every corner of this game (and this game has a lot more corners than you might think).   Our goal is to get 5,000 people to sign up to learn more before launching the campaign - will you help us get there? Count me in! Count me in! Sincerely, Alex Rosenthal Editorial Director of TED-Ed Animations   PS: Every dollar earned from this game will support the creation of free educational materials for learners around the world.    PPS: This is TED-Ed's first kickstarter campaign, so we're a little nervous!
