Author: Jacob Valdez

I have been fascinated with brainteasers and games of all kinds since early childhood. While it's not my daytime job, I've been sharing my love of puzzles and games for over 25 years, whether through game design, demonstrations at conventions and other public gatherings, or teaching at local history festivals. I strongly believe in constant learning, and love it when I can demonstrate a new concept through a game or brainteaser. I'm constantly looking for new types of puzzles, new game mechanics, or delving into gaming history to see how our pastimes of today evolved through the ages.
