Puzzle Research
At Utrecht University, we do lots of cool research about puzzles.
Puzzle Complexity
Determining the difficulty of a puzzle is a nontrivial task. It requires a good understanding of the underlying mechanics, and is also inherently subjective. Yet, in order to automatically generate puzzles in a consistent and useful manner, establishing the difficulty of generated puzzles is vital.
Drawing Puzzles
A drawing puzzle is a puzzle where you have to follow a set of rules to complete a drawing. Drawing puzzles are popular children's activities, such as Connect-The-Dots or Color-By-Number. More complicated puzzles, such as Nonograms, also exist and are popular among children and adults alike.
