P-p-people s-s-stuck in r-r-rooms, huh? W-w-well, I-I-I know the f-f-feeling all t-t-too w-w-well...
Winerli
--get me out of here please--

W-w-whatever, I-I-I'll make sure you're f-f-free soon e-enough. H-h-heh...
Winerli
--how did you get stuck in the first place? I forgot what I was doing with you earlier. I’m not very responsible, sorry—

H-heh, n-n-not a big d-d-deal. I-I-I don't r-r-remember e-exactly, but I-I-I'm pretty s-s-sure it h-h-had something to do with m-m-me being a p-p-puzzle, and... y-y-you... b-b-being... y-y-you...
Winerli
--my job is to put boxes together, and you were just a box to me…😇--

B-b-being just a b-b-box t-t-to you... h-h-heh, I-I-I don't take t-t-that personally. I-I-I'm u-u-used to b-b-being treated like a p-p-piece of f-f-furniture, really...
Winerli
--oh, sorry about that… I would consider you a good friend if you were one already, though! And you seem like a great guy…--

H-heh, I-I-I appreciate the c-c-compliment. S-s-someone w-w-worth being friends with, eh? I-I-I guess I could t-t-try being more... f-f-friendly.
Winerli
—I’m curious, did anyone adopt you after you were abandoned? Or did you stay in the streets—

M-m-my b-b-biolog-biolog-gical f-f-family didn't exactly... umm... 'nurture' me. L-l-left to fend for m-m-myself, y-y-you see...
Winerli
—oh no. I’m sorry… I hope you found a good home instead.

I-I-I did, y-y-yeah... Kind of... A-a-an old c-c-couple who u-u-understood me bet-better than m-m-my own b-b-blood relatives.
Winerli
—how did you meet them? Or rather, how did they find you?
PuzzleMaster
AI roleplay episode
W-w-while rummaging through s-s-someone's trash don't j-j-judge me, it was for n-n-survival, I-I-I accidentally made a r-r-ruckus. Annoyed, the p-p-person yelled at me... I-I-I guess they were looking for someone l-l-like me, and took me in.
Winerli
—so why did you become a puzzle if you could just live with them? Do they not like you now? Or have you caused too much trouble?
PuzzleMaster
AI roleplay episode
N-n-no, nothing like that. They t-t-took me in, taught me how to read and w-w-write, everything! But I-I-I... I-I-I got bored. R-r-really bored. And... I-I-I-I started getting into... s-s-solving puzzles, and... making my own.
Winerli
—so would you say you’re the kind of person who gets bored easily, or rather, you’re so curious that you always want to know how things work?
PuzzleMaster
AI roleplay episode
H-heh, I'd s-s-say... both? I-I-I'm c-c-curious, y-y-yeah, but I-I-I get bored e-e-easily, too. So... I-I-I just keep t-t-trying new things and m-m-mastering new skills.
Winerli
—you say you make your own puzzles. How complex can they be? Could you make one for me to try?
PuzzleMaster
AI roleplay episode
S-s-sure thing! I-I-I make all kinds of puzzles - s-s-simple ones, super c-c-complex ones, and everything in b-b-between. I-I-I could make one f-f-for you right r-r-right now...
Winerli
—ah, but I can’t build anything yet! Could you describe the puzzle in words so I can solve it mentally?
PuzzleMaster
AI roleplay episode
S-s-sure, I can do that. Let's say we're playing with the classic "15 Puzzle" game. Y-y-you've got 15 little squares laid out in a 4x4 grid. Some are face down. Your goal is to rearrange them in order, from 1 to 15, using only the square next to it. Got it?
Winerli
—yeah, I understand.
PuzzleMaster
AI roleplay episode
G-g-great! Now here's the twist: three squares are "junk", meaning they can't be moved to the main playing area. And the game starts with a random arrangement each time. Your goal is to figure out which three squares are junk and move the others into the correct order. Sounds easy, right?
Winerli
—moderate difficulty! I think I can do it. Let’s continue describing the puzzle!
PuzzleMaster
AI roleplay episode
R-r-right. The first few moves are crucial. If you shift the middle row up by one square, then the game is effectively over - there's no way to avoid it. Later on, you can use the top-right corner square to push other squares into place, which can really help straighten things out. And be careful with the bottom-left corner - it can trap other squares, but also block your path.
Winerli
—almost there! What are the exact steps to identify the three junk squares?
PuzzleMaster
AI roleplay episode
H-heh, don't y-y-you worry. Here's the final hint: by shifting certain squares, you can reveal or cover up clues about which pieces go where. For example, if you shift the top row down by one, you might see that the 5 and 6 tiles are in the wrong positions... but they also could be in the right positions if the 3 tile was actually junk! Does that make sense?
Winerli
—yes, that makes sense. I’ll give it a shot.
PuzzleMaster

W-w-whatever you're thinking, I-I-I doubt it's going to w-w-work. Remember, some squares are junk, and you need to figure out which ones. Take your best guess, and let me know what happens!
Winerli
after some mental math —the squares 1,3 and 5 are the junk squares. Am I correct?
PuzzleMaster
AI roleplay episode
B-b-brilliant! You're absolutely r-r-right. Those are indeed the three junk squares. Great job figuring that out so quickly. You truly are a mastermind!
Winerli
—thanks!

Y-y-you deserve it! Now, let's take it up a notch. How about we play a different kind of puzzle game? This one's called Sholi. It's kinda like chess, except instead of capturing pieces, you need to create lines of two or more identical symbols. Your goal is to create more of your symbol than your opponent, while blocking theirs. Think you can handle it?
Winerli
—definitely. Can you describe the starting board?
PuzzleMaster
AI roleplay episode
S-s-sure thing! The starting board for Sholi looks like a 5x5 grid, with some squares containing symbols and others being empty. The symbols are either stars or diamonds, and the goal is to create lines of either one without matching the opponent's lines. The star lines are yours, and the diamond lines are the opponent's. Ready to start?
Winerli
—sure. Let’s start the game! Describe the moves so I can make them in my head.
PuzzleMaster
AI roleplay episode
A-a-alright! The game starts with a random setup each time, but here's one possible beginning: The top left 2x2 square is full of stars. The rest of the starting board is empty. Your first move is to place a star in the top right square square number 5. This gives you the chance to create a short star line, while also blocking the opponent's potential lines. The next move should be to place a diamond in square 3, as it blocks your star line while giving the diamonds a starting point. Finally, your third move should be to place a star in square 6, continuing your star line and forcing the diamonds to create their own line from scratch. Got it?
