About Soundcheck
This one is written in the dialect of the audio booth. The 250+ puzzles are built around the language of live sound and backstage theater, so the vocabulary comes from the job rather than a thesaurus.
It mixes cryptograms with word scrambles, which keeps the pace moving. Part of The Tech Week Survival Series, it is aimed at audio designers and sound operators specifically, not at theater in general.
That specificity is the gift. Sound people are used to being the department nobody writes anything for, and this was written for nobody else.

Frequently asked questions
How many puzzles are in Soundcheck, and what types?
There are 250+ puzzles, mixing cryptograms and word scrambles. The variety keeps a long session from turning into the same motion over and over.
Is this only for people who work in sound?
It is built around the language of live sound and backstage theater, so audio designers and sound operators get the most from it. Other theater crew will recognize plenty, but the book is unapologetically aimed at the sound department.
Is it a good gift for a sound engineer?
Yes, and largely because so little exists for them. The puzzles are written for audio designers and sound operators specifically, which makes it read like a gift chosen by someone who understands the job.
Is it part of a series?
Yes. Soundcheck is part of The Tech Week Survival Series, which covers the people working backstage. If you are gifting a whole crew, the series gives you other departments to shop from.
