Amateur Sleuth Blog

The Amateur Sleuth blog is where Her Interactive employees (such as Summer_Sleuth, Novel_Sleuth, and Little Jackalope) write daily postings about life behind the scenes at Her Interactive. This blog also features the Weekend Puzzle on Fridays, which occasionally is a contest.

Feel free to leave comments on the blog, but don't worry if it doesn't show up right away. For everyone's safety, all comments are moderated first before going live.

Weekend Puzzles:
We will post a fun puzzle, riddle or code for you to solve, just for a little weekend fun on Fridays, or the last business day of the week. These puzzles can be discussed here on the boards, but please be sure to use spoiler code when posting your answers so that everyone has a fair chance at solving it themselves. Example:

This is spoiler code.

How it's done: [spoiler*]This is spoiler code.[/spoiler] but without the asterisk*. Puzzle hints will be posted each day the following week until the blogger notices someone solved it. Once it has been solved, the blogger will post the solution and answer in spoiler code in the following blog post (often Monday or Tuesday).

Weekend Puzzle Contests:
Occasionally, the weekend puzzle will also be a contest! Keep an eye out for those special puzzles, (you can tell by the title of the post. For example: "Weekend Puzzle #129 = Contest!")
After solving the puzzle, you may submit your answer or entry to [email protected] and follow any extra directions on that blog post. Winners are selected randomly only from the correct entries. See the blog post for how long the contest runs and what prize(s) are involved. You may discuss and help each other on the boards, but keep in mind the use of spoiler codes.


Read the new blog post. Since the blog is now hosted within the Her Interactive site, you may re-post this link on the message board.

Twitter Feed

Her Interactive Twitter Feed (do not repost this link)

We have started a Twitter feed - posting short messages more frequently throughout the day probably in the form of cryptic messages. You DO NOT need an account on Twitter to follow our updates - just simply click on the link above.

If you do decide to join Twitter, please keep in mind that Twitter is a social networking site that is not moderated or affiliated with Her Interactive.

We highly recommend that you lock your Twitter profile (close it off to strangers) so only your friends can see your updates. You can do this by going to the “Settings” tab in the Twitter toolbar and checking the box towards the bottom of the page marked “Protect my updates”(don’t worry, you will still be able to see HI’s updates)

As always, you should never reveal any personal information about yourself.

Personal information includes:
- real name
- address: street, city, zip (state/province is ok)
- email
- phone number
- age, birth year
- messenger screen names

You may only discuss the comments that Her Interactive has posted on the feed here on the message board.

Please direct members to either this post or the Her Interactive Community page where the Twitter link can be found.
