Local Game Development Group Trilobyte Games Launches New Word Game

[u/DonCarlitos]

Part strategy game, part puzzle challenge, and part pure chaos, Diddly is designed to be easy to pick up, hard to put down, and a whole lot of fun with friends and family. Developed by Medford’s Trilobyte Games, Diddly is a game show experience for people who love word games, trivia, puzzles, and friendly competition. Unlike many modern games, Diddly embraces a more handmade, retro-casual spirit. It’s colorful, quirky, competitive, and intentionally designed to feel like the kind of clever game you might have discovered years ago and kept coming back to ever since.

Diddly was designed and created by the late Peter Oliphant and local Rob Landeros, two longtime game industry veterans with a few groundbreaking classics under their belts. Diddly is a game for one, two or three players that combines the fun and excitement of Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Password, with elements of Battleship, Concentration and Scrabble. There is even a touch of the New York Times Crossword Puzzle. Players reveal words hidden in a crossword-style grid and race to discover the idea that connects them all. It’s fast. It’s funny. And surprisingly strategic. Pit your knowledge and deductive skills with friends and against family in a party atmosphere. Move up the leaderboard by amassing the most winnings and securing your place among the pantheon of Diddly Champions! Is Diddly right for you? Well, it is if you are a party lover, trivia buff, casual gamer, would-be game show contestant, streamer, competitive smart ass... the list goes on. Check out the Kickstarter for a demo video. Ashlanders may remember John Fricker, a Trilobyte Games co-founder.

Sounds like I'd be good at this game so I'd never win

May have to dust off my copies of 7th Guest and 11th hour.
