PuzzleTales.com is a new website for interactive puzzle fiction. Start reading the first chapter of an exciting short-story. When you reach the end of the chapter you will get a puzzle. Solve the puzzle to unlock the next chapter. Each chapter will have one or more puzzles that thematically tie into the story. It may be a crossword puzzle, a sudoku or a cryptogram. Every puzzle is unique and there will be a wide variety of word puzzles, logic puzzles, math puzzles, and other challenges to keep you entertained. There are multiple paths through the non-linear story, and many secrets to discover as you play along.

The first PuzzleTale is Svalbard, a sci-fi short story by award winning author Lavie Tidhar. Travel along with Mai as she explores a utopian post-apocalyptic world and discovers ancient time vaults, forgotten robot enclaves and slumbering super computers. Help her scavenge for old technology in the ruined cities and discover ancient secrets about previous civilizations.

The first four chapters are free for everyone to sample and then the remaining 19 chapters and 30+ puzzles can be purchased. If you are a reviewer who has made it through the first 4 chapters and you need an unlock code to continue reviewing the experience, please contact Us.
