With the aim to create interesting puzzles by developing a creative combination of different formats like riddles, pattern-guessing, word puzzles, logic puzzles and crosswords, Pradhan and her team organise gaming events online. “I believe, people in India are not exposed to the different kinds of puzzles available across the globe. These events allow participants to solve  different sets of puzzles within a given timeframe,” she adds. This month’s edition is named, Fight the Coronavirus. Participants collect seven ingredients, to develop a vaccine,  by cracking seven different puzzles. Then, they   submit those ingredients to the research centre to get the reward.

Pradhan explains that puzzles are conventionally assumed to only be suitable for children, “We need to exchange that thought process. In fact, our games are suitable for anyone above 12 years. It is designed such that enthusiasts can come together to play and, thus, interact with each other,” she signs off.
