Thread for Q&A about the #BarrensMysteries. Post your questions here, and I'll respond while I can!
Oh, I didn't mention this anywhere else, but wanted to mention inspiration for this sort of stuff elsewhere in gaming. Various games have done hidden puzzles, like the Sombra ARG.
@Bungie in particular makes some similarly difficult and community-wide puzzles that are big inspirations to me. I love those.

I'd love to hang out with whoever does their puzzles someday and just jam out some ideas and pick each others' brain; would be a ton of fun!

Thread about the making of the #BarrensMysteries!

This was a ton of fun, both to create, and to watch the community solve. I've seen requests for hearing more about how this crazy thing happened, so here's a (probably long and rambling and unorganized) thread about that!
Every year (usually Nov/Dec), Team 5 spends a couple weeks doing something we call 'Free Your Mind'. It's a fancy way of saying 'work on whatever you want within the world of Hearthstone'. Last year, I chose to work on building secret puzzles.
I had worked on these before on WoW, along with the puzzlemaster @Muffinus. Parts of the Lucid Nightmare and most of the Hivemind were my work, and I *loved* how the community would come together to solve these brutally difficult puzzles.
