We RELEASED our second Sudoku Puzzle Hunt last weekend. Patrons of the channel can download it at our patreon page (link below).

If you are NOT a patron of the channel on Patreon and would like to get a taster of the hunt then you can download the preamble (which consists of two letters: one from Angus MacGuffin and one from ______; together with the notes about the puzzles which seem to have been written by a very unpleasant character indeed) and try the first puzzle at the link below.
