Ephemeris was an intricate puzzle, a test of both my Silhouette digital cutter and my patience. It’s a puzzle suite with a variety of word puzzles and an astrological theme.
Each team receives a base plate with cryptogram clues, four astrology-themed puzzle disks, clue sheets for each disk, and a thumbtack. Players solve the puzzles, then arrange the disks so they rotate around the thumbtack. Players must then align the symbols according to the clues on the base plate.
When solved correctly, the puzzle disks line up to display an appropriate quote.
