Job of the Week: Puzzle Designer

Puzzle designers create engaging riddles, puzzles and brain teasers for video games, escape rooms, and books. Their main goal is ensuring challenges are fun, logical, and balanced.

In the UK, entry level designers earn between £20,000 and £30,000, whilst experienced professionals can make up to £45,000. Senior designers working on major projects often exceed £60,000, though many work freelance.

There is no single career path; whilst some study maths, computer science or games design, others build a portfolio independently.

Employers highly value logical thinking, original ideas, and practical experience. Ultimately, entering this creative industry requires a passion for solving problems, which can be demonstrated through apprenticeships, courses, or previous digital games industry experience to succeed in this highly competitive field.
