On one special day in October 2023, I - along with David and Lisa - attended the North American International Toy Fair, or Toy Fair for short. This is an annual event in New York City's Jacob Javits Convention Center that for some strange reason hasn't taken place since February of 2020.
Toy Fair is an event that would be the highlight of any child's year - except that this is a trade show and they don't allow children. That means the entirety of the convention center is chock full of new and upcoming toys and games, and only industry representatives and press are allowed in. It made for an exciting day of walking the aisles and looking for the hot new thing.
There were a huge number of things to see, and searching for puzzle games became a sort of all-day scavenger hunt. Ultimately, we didn't find many products that were escape room specific. We did find a couple of items that crossed the puzzle threshold and deserve to be mentioned.
