About Bluefish Games
Bluefish Games was founded in 2018 by two escape room enthusiasts who wanted to capture the feeling of escape rooms in board games. The founders believe that "your clever brain deserves clever games" and they deliver puzzle games in several different formats, from bite-size conundrums posted to social media to full-fledged at-home escape adventures. In 2019, Bluefish Games ran a successful crowd-funding campaign for The Curious Elevator of Mr. Hincks and created a puzzling world helmed by the eccentric Stephen P. Hincks. Since then, the team at Bluefish Games has continued to develop puzzles based in Hincksville, where it's completely plausible that you would take an elevator down to get to the roof.
