If you spend any time at all playing video games, and you have not played Deadly Rooms of Death, then you are playing the wrong games. I have never seen another puzzle game come close to the fun or difficulty of the puzzles in this game. It will make you think. A lot.

Here is a blog post I wrote about it. If you already play it, or if you start playing it, let me know. I would love to have more people to talk to about it.

I second this recommendation, but if you're interested in buying this game, I suggest you get it from here instead of the Caravel Games website. Much better deal.

Even SpaceChem? Note, I haven't played Deadly Rooms of Death, but SpaceChem is currently the most difficult "puzzle" game I've ever played.

I am not sure, I've played some of space-chem, but did not finish it.(I did not get stuck, I just stopped.) I haven't finished all the official DLC of DROD yet either, and have been actively trying for a long time. If someone feels they have played enough of both, they should let us know.

It might not be comparable, because they both might just get harder and harder depending on how much you try to optimize. I have been stuck on the same DROD room for days, and in the official games and DLC, there are over 2000 rooms.
