The Christmas Investigations

In this festive series I look at the puzzling elements of three classic game shows in order to show that puzzles really are everywhere we look. We start out with a strategic word game called Turnabout before travelling to the alien planet Arg to learn more about lateral thinking and Argond culture in a post all about The Adventure Game.

Finally we take a trip through the Crystal Maze and, after taking time out to sample the many challenges which lay within, we try to answer the most difficult question ever asked in a game show.
