Craig Engler, who is a former Shudder general manager and who co-created Syfy’s Z Nation, was inspired to turn his passion for horror into a family-friendly puzzle because of his 10-year-old daughter, as the idea originated while the two were working on a puzzle together and wondered about the story behind it.
Realising they could create their own, they combined their love of Halloween with Engler’s storytelling background to design a puzzle that comes to life through an accompanying podcast.
The companion podcast deepens the experience with historical insights and clues that correspond to sections of the 1,000-piece puzzle.
The Great Halloween Puzzle & Podcast is available to order now on Kickstarter through Halloween. The puzzle costs $35, and other available perks include a podcast shout-out and being drawn into the puzzle artwork.
