The game Blue Prince presents a unique puzzle experience, merging roguelike elements with a detailed mansion-building mechanic. Players navigate random blueprints, facing a reset each day, making every playthrough unique and challenging. Notably, seasoned puzzle enthusiasts might still find the game bewildering. To aid players, Polygon interviewed several puzzle game developers who shared insights into effective puzzle-solving techniques, emphasizing the importance of taking breaks, reflecting on available clues, and approaching puzzles with a calm and analytical mindset. Community support is also highlighted as beneficial in navigating challenges.
Taking breaks is always helpful, as is reviewing your notes, says Andrew Shouldice, developer of the puzzle-packed, Zelda-esque Tunic.
I think my biggest advice is to sit on it for a bit, says Nicolás Recabarren, a designer and programmer on Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure.
Puzzles have that thing that if you rush them you get more and more stuck, like quicksand, says Nicolás Recabarren.
Find a community that can be resourceful and supportive, suggests Richard Hogg, artist and game designer.
