Our group just turned five in July and as you all know, we are planning to celebrate this by releasing our own souvenir Ebook – “Cryptic Crossroads – Volume 2”, which is a fabulous collection of puzzles set by our members.

Before formally releasing the Ebook, we plan to conduct a “1AC Gridfest” contest over three weeks starting from the 2nd week of August. During the contest, each day, a new puzzle from the collection will be posted for solving. All participants will be able to attempt the puzzles over the period of the contest and winners will be declared at the end of the contest based on the maximum points scored by each participant during the contest.

The main purpose of the contest is to provide an opportunity to solve and enjoy the grids put together in the Ebook rather than just let the collection remain untouched in an E Library 🙂

Sounds fun? If you are interested in either 1. Participating in our Gridfest or 2. Receiving a Free copy of our Ebook, all you need to do is to complete this registration form.

We will be responding to all registered participants for the 1ACGridfest with further details by Email by the end of next week.

  1. Hi. When I click on the link to register, I am getting a response that registrations are not being accepted. Is that correct?
