Eureka! Puzzle games purveyor Thinky Games announced on Monday that its Thinky Direct showcase, a puzzle-focused gaming broadcast, is returning for its second year. The hour-long online broadcast, set to air on the grassroots group’s YouTube, Twitch, and Steam channels, will reportedly highlight over 40 thought-provoking puzzle games players should pin to their to-do list. The presentation will also feature world premieres, some anticipated updates and launch dates, demo drops, and more.
Thankfully for puzzle-lovers, the brow-furrowing fun doesn’t stop there. Thinky Games’ Direct will also kick off the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase, organized in partnership with the puzzle aficionados at Draknek & Friends. This week-long celebration from the folks behind beloved puzzles like LOK Digital and Spooky Express will feature game demos and Steam discounts.

About Thinky Games and Thinky Direct
Thinky Games, a “community of thinky fans who want to share amazing games with as many people as possible,” is wholly dedicated to the art of the puzzle — and the delightful “aha!” moment that usually accompanies. The “thinky” niche is broader than you’d assume; puzzle games go far beyond point-‘n’-clicks and sokobans. From math-based titles to hair-raising whodunnits, Thinky Games utilizes its ever-expanding web and industry presence (and biweekly newsletter) to keep puzzle players plugged in.
The organization also boasts its very own awards program. The annual Thinky Awards have been held since 2023 and highlight the year’s best indie puzzlers. Last year, Raw Fury’s hit head-scratcher Blue Prince walked away with “Game of the Year.”
Subscribe to Thinky Games’ YouTube channel and turn notifications on to stay in the know, and catch the full puzzle game broadcast when it airs on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at 10 a.m. PDT/1 p.m. EDT/6 p.m. BST. For more info, follow Thinky Games on Bluesky.
