Thinkness

Ever given a ghost a ride in your car? Get a free cup of coffee! Nika is genuinely stumped and Tom enjoys it greatly, as a taxi driver's heart attack and frat boy car accidents lead to half puzzle solving, half unrelated tangents, as usual. ENJOY!

This one deviates a lot. Tom and Nika discuss plausible grounds for divorce, and a tape recorder that is the key to the murder. What, you wanted more info on the sexy stuff? Listen already. ENJOY!

We travel the full length of a new character's life, completely by accident. She doesn't even factor in that much. Nika and Tom discuss cleaning faces, stilted conversation, and a blind man who isn't blind or something I dunno it's a doozy. There's a lot of annoying voices in this episode, you have been warned.

Sometimes you gotta think from a meta perspective. Zoom out the mind's eye a little bit. A little more. Yep you're right, foxes are cat-dogs. It's true! Nika and Tom guess a few bands with misheard lyrics, ask whether a mechanic is available, and ask about why a DJ would die. Rock and Roll never dies, why can a DJ? ENJOY!

Ever faced the unwinnable puzzle? We had TWO. Nika and Tom discuss a variety of topics vaguely related to the puzzles but massively related to the world at large, and keeping safe the ways we can. There's a murderous text message (how passé) and a naughty astronaut. Dig in, and ENJOY!

Curbs are a tripping hazard, yet nobody speaks of this egregious danger that lines our every street. Something must be done about these murderous curbs. Tom and Nika start a new safety campaign, go over a few softball puzzles and discuss men in dark rooms, and fleeing museums. It gets political. ENJOY!

We're beginning to find a theme with these puzzles. Tom and Nika solve like four puzzles right off the bat and scramble to find a new concept. IS ANYONE NOT KILLED BY AN ANIMAL ANYMORE? Get yourselves together, world! ENJOY!

Imagine this one with an undercurrent of awesome music, I suppose. Tom and Nika witness the ultimate Dance Macabre and come up with cool tunes for puppy purchasing. It's both weirder and less weird than it sounds. ENJOY!

Our deepest condolences to the passing of Clyde Batty, a man who bestowed true grim beauty into the world, and the subsequent death of Nika Harper, cause listed as grief/joy. Tom and the late Nika mostly spend the whole episode eulogizing some of Thinkness' favorite characters and also there's puzzles about swamps and smiling and whatever else, that doesn't matter, ENJOY!

Nobody will suspect a cop! Tom and Nika wrack their brains about a deadly text message and some kind of Murder Doctor, but we can all agree he was a pretty suave guy. Sign my death certificate anytime, know what I mean? ENJOY!

Can you imagine the clowns? This episode, Nika and Tom take it to the ring, twice, with some highly entertaining and gruesome murders, and a dead body everyone expects to see. Lot of spectating in this? Kids these days. ENJOY!

I mean we just assume there's drugs, because how can ANY of this stuff happen? Tom and Nika sleuth out a man who dies in a phone booth, dear Helen who coulda died but didn't, and a fishy fishing story. I love the word "fish." It's just a good word. ENJOY!

Hoo boy. This is a journey. Nika and Tom introduce two "new" spins on the classics, with app-based mysteries and a book of verbose jargon that somehow relates to murder, I guess? Let's get noir with it, sure. A cocktail date of a different caliber, and catching a train or catching your death. It's all here. ENJOY!

Don't worry, we have a GHOST-FREE PODCAST this episode! Nah, we can never promise that, ghosts do what they want. Tom and Nika are joined again by Momma Donna who solves a puzzle all on her own and gives some virginity wisdom. Wait what? Puzzles: shortcuts are bad, golf, pigeons, whatever. ENJOY!

Don't die, consult your local newspaper instead! Nika and Tom are joined by a fledgling detective, Tom's mom Donna, to find the truth behind money in a book, a door-related death, and suffocation in a hospital. Momma's got the Gotcha moments!

Oh good, another episode where Nika loses her mind. Tom and Nika argue over how a discussion in an airport can be murder, and a smiling woman! That's it, she just smiles, and that's a crime. Sheesh.

Cutting you off early, there are certifiably no Human Hair Sweaters. Maybe that's the Christmas surprise? Nika and Tom puzzle out how murderers get married, and why husbands can be so mad during the holidays. Also, a smattering of other puzzley things for you to ENJOY!

Animal, vegetable, or mineral? Judges say...we got it wrong. Nika and Tom try out cowboy accents to hoot n' holler 'bout these here scenarios. Golly gee we got us a mystery and mostly, a lot of bad decisions being made. ENJOY!

Tom and Nika ponder their dessert-sonas and oh yeah there are mysteries. How can a bottle cap indicate MURDER? Why is that bank teller smiling while she's getting robbed? The answers may surprise you, because they make no sense. ENJOY!

Nika and The Casiomancer (that's Tom, it's his 'thing' now) have one hell of a time desperately formulating scenarios involving marbles that have nothing to do with the murder they are set to solve. Also doctors and dead folk, but what else is new? Misleading language is part of the fun, I guess. ENJOY!

It's a good thing we started our new Thinksgiving with appetizers because we blew through these puzzles like crazy. Nika and Tom reconnect with Madame Zuzu the Psychic, solve a police car chase, and a murder that wasn't a murder at all. Pretty typical for a Thinkness episode, we know.

What could be more mysterious and terrifying than PHONE CALLS? Tom and Nika faced their fears and talked about how phone conversations used to go, instead of [smattering of emoji including a siren, police, questionmark, and inexplicable ice cream] Also Professor Pompous or whomever.

We are canonizing The ThinkNess Monster. It just happened. It's just two people, Nika and Tom, in a snakey monster suit. A monster who solves MYSTERIES! This time, Nika can't figure out how a building can exist with a bunch of small rooms in it, and Tom helps bust up an art show to FIND A MURDERER! Two detectives in a snake suit comin' in! ENJOY!

WHIRRRRRRRRRR, here comes the Joke Vacuum! Yep, it's Nika and Tom who are solving a mystery about how "petite" a body must be to hang on a clothes hook, and housekeeper accomplices. What's a gal gotta do to get some jilted lovers in this place?! ENJOY!

If someone kept breaking into your house yet NOT stealing anything, wouldn't you hire Nika and Tom to figure out why? Maybe? Well we SOLVED IT ANYWAY. You're welcome. Also who is Stevie in Minnesota? That sounds unrelated, but it isn't. It's THINKNESS. ENJOY!

Yeah, he was. Nika and Tom think about the disappearance of a historical figure, a murdered gossip columnist, and struggle to grasp grade-school concepts in this episode, which is sure to make you feel like a freakin' genius. Because we are not. That's all there is to say, really. ENJOY!

Because Nika has a deep fondness for wordplay and handsome private eyes, it stands to reason that she loves Lemony Snicket books. In this episode, we talk a little Lemony, plug the most fortunate Series of Events, and introduce Tom to asking All The Wrong Questions with a story from Snicket's book "File Under: 13 Suspicious Incidents." WHERE DID THAT GOLD GO? We figure it out. ENJOY!

Nika and Tom put on their sleuthing pants and take off most of their unnecessary garments  (summer heat up in here) to unravel the cases of a murder via intercom, and spectacularly-applauded death! It's goth as hell in here and we take a moment to discuss mortality, humor, and coping with the world as we know it. Yeah sorry it gets serious. Weird. ENJOY!

In this episode, deaths are entirely incidental! Sort of! Maybe! There's still a lot of dying! Nika and Tom discuss the validity of a contest one wins without entering, and a good ol' fashioned shoot-up. Yeehaw, and ENJOY!

After a lengthy hiatus, Thinkness returns with only the most ridiculous of premises befitting of the genre. Tom and Nika crack the case quite literally with some frustrated punching about a dead businessman on a highway, argue about terrible names, and figure out why a guy on a bike died with little other information to work with.

With estranged daughters and cans of paint, Nika and Tom try to pinpoint the motives for specific and/or indiscriminate murder, which is no surprise on a podcast like this one. And as a bonus, we learned things! ENJOY!

Nika and Tom reconstruct a whirlwind romance that ends in ever-inevitable murder as a man named Biff gets baffed in Caribou, Alaska, and a fatal fresh-air fumble that, despite Nika's best efforts, doesn't actually include Kaiju.

Normally this is a podcast about logic puzzles, but there seems to be no logic in this set. Nika and Tom question if it's really worth it to reconcile a marriage, and how a man in a raincoat died. Oh yeah and that one puzzle Tom solves immediately, but we don't count that. ENJOY!

Scene: A hotel room in Dallas, Texas. Nika enjoys her wine and Tom invents cola kink. There are no survivors. This episode bounds into absurdity with a deadly phone call and an oblivious thieving victim. Yeah, we can't believe it either. ENJOY!

Don't blink your ears or you'll miss it -- Tom and Nika whiz through a slew of mysteries prompting us to ask, no really, what else is there about this situation. There's more right?

Welcome to the all-new podcast where Nika and Tom challenge themselves to think outside the box with lateral thinking puzzles, brain teasers and many, many ridiculous murder mysteries. This episode features a historic figure plotting hundreds of deaths, a murdered Senator-of-indeterminate-gender, and Nika screaming about "normal guns."
