PUZZLEVENT 2023

Welcome to Puzzlevent 2023!

Rising from its 11-month slumber, Puzzlevent is back for 2023! This advent calendar is a month-long cryptic crossword. From December 1, three new cryptic clues will be released daily, but without saying how long their answers are or where they go in the grid – that information gets revealed over time. On December 25, 17 clues will be revealed instead as a bumper treat.

Clues are revealed each day on Mastodon @danielpeake@mastodon.social and here at puzzlevent.com

This year, I’m offering a book for one lucky winner:

WIN THE ORDNANCE SURVEY PUZZLE BOOK: LEGENDS AND LANDMARKS

The Ordnance Survey Puzzle Book: Legends and Landmarks (Paperback)

 

Track down hidden treasures, decipher geographical details and pit your wits against puzzles ranging from straightforward to brutally difficult. And I would know about the range of puzzle difficulty, as I am proud to say that I wrote the puzzles for the book! It kept me out of mischief for a while, for sure.

To enter, fill in your crossword grid and email it to puzzlevent@danielpeake.com before the end of 2023. In 2024 I’ll randomly select entries and the first correct solution chosen will win. Terms and conditions are on the puzzle PDF.

Enjoy the advent calendar, and good luck!
