I apparently missed a new set of puzzles being posted over at Daily Worker Placement. I only saw them when they posted the solutions.
Here’s the puzzles for anyone interested.
And here’s the link to the solutions: October Surprise Contest Answers (and Winner) » The Daily Worker Placement
A sudoku using pictures of board games and their BGG ID numbers. I recognized some of the games right away and not others but haven’t tried really digging in yet to figure anything out. There is a prize possible, only shipping to North America. Entries due by Tuesday 27 December.

Good eye! I really should have known B9… I’ve been trying to get that teed up to play with my partner… I just didn’t recognize either of the icons based on me riffling through the components while reading the rules.
I2 really looks like Dinosaur Island but I’ve never seen the game myself and I can’t confirm that the dice are from that game and not one of the adjacent games… And I can’t find those chits anywhere in the BGG pictures
EDIT: Aha! Found it! See edit 3 above
A few I don’t think I’ve seen posted yet:
E3: Tiny Epic Quest
F1: Star Wars Queen’s Gambit
F3: Charterstone
G8: 1775

And G3 is Jaws

Husband just got home from work. He thinks he recognizes a couple we haven’t got yet as something he played but can’t quite remember. Only one he could name for sure is E2 as Churchill.

Team work didn’t quite manage to pull this one off by the deadline for the contest. Oh well. For anyone curious, the solution has now been posted. I’ve never played any of the games we were still missing and haven’t even heard of one.

Yeah this one would have taken quite a lot of detective work (or maybe grunt work) for the unknown games. That’s ok by me; we got fairly close, I don’t like Splendor or Marvel, so the prize of Splendor Marvel isn’t too much to miss out on.

Another puzzle over at Daily Worker Placement. This time it’s board games represented by emojis. No prize contest, just for fun. I’m reasonably certain I know most but not all the answers. I’ll post my guesses with spoiler blur below.
