Today’s puzzle was designed by Mairi Nolan.
Mairi is a freelance puzzle designer by day, an escape room blogger by night. She's best known in the puzzle world as the EIC at Escape Industry News and The Escape Roomer, as well as for her work on games across the video game, escape room, immersive events and tabletop puzzle game industries. Currently, she's working on an indie videogame titled "Tales from Hazelwood Post" - which is the inspiration for today's puzzle! It's a game about delivering letters in a town with no addresses, so the player must 'solve' who lives who through contextual clues each day.
