Puzzled on what to do in October?
Entertainment Enigma Of The Month: The Mole
The Mole made a comeback in October 2022 on Netflix, but puzzle fans among us will still remember their first time seeing this show broadcast onto our screens in 2001. This thrilling reality competition, saw a group of contestants take on a series of missions, in a bid to add money to the prize pot. Seems simple, right? Well, it would be if the mole wasn’t secretly mingling in the group, and tasked to sabotage the team at every turn. Then, at the end of each action-packed episode, the contestant who knew the least about the mole was eliminated from the game.
Perplexing Puzzler Of The Month: The Case Of The Golden Idol
If like us, you have mandatory video game time at work…I mean…team building, here’s one to add to your to-do list. We enjoyed seeing the storyline unfold as we analyzed the occasionally unsettling scenes, uncovered artifacts, and ultimately pieced together all the evidence. If you want to know more, we have a whole article about The Case Of The Golden Idol. I just hope I don’t meet any of those characters down a dark alleyway.
Orlando Offering Of The Month: Halloween Horror Nights
An October to-do list simply wouldn’t be complete without mentioning some kind of spooky offering. While not technically puzzle-related, escape room fans will likely crossover into those fans who also enjoy a themed walkthrough attraction. Whether you like a good fright, or just appreciate the immersion and fantastical theming that goes into these masterpiece mazes, there is so much to see and experience at Halloween Horror Nights.

Obscure Occasion Of The Month: National Checklist Day
There’s nothing more satisfying than ticking that item off of a checklist. Such an occasion is so momentous, that they even made a national day for it! Why not double the fun and start a fresh page in a brand new notebook to celebrate?! If this scenario fills your heart with joy and puts a spring in your step, this day was made for you! Fun (ish) fact, the first checklist was created in 1935, as a result of the first aviation disaster.
Mystery Merchandise Of The Month: Paddy Plush
