    Had to get some guidance but really fun and loved the theme!

      *as… PS maybe add another layer? Like instead of a generic map, include references to a mall map or a map of a specific place? I really enjoyed it!
      • JD Crosbie constructor · 2023-03-03T21:30:01.478Z
        Love that idea! Would have to brainstorm the best way to integrate but would be fun for sure

        I love the shape of the grid and the theme is fun. I would consider making the clues more Monday level. The theme is easy to figure out and the difficulty of some of the fill makes it feel incongruous at times. It’s really clever and deserves an audience at least as big ad a mall map 😂
        • JeffsPuzzles 🤓7:56 · 2023-03-03T15:58:49.972Z
          Very enjoyable - I loved the clue on ACREAGE - when I have a piece of relatively bland fill I often try to clue it in a humorous/challenging way.

            Wow - this was great. Good difficulty level. Good theme. Took a while to figure out HERE in the middle!

              Accessing the middle of the grid was more of a challenge than the corners and sides. The relatively vague cluing on HARDTACOS plus the DRAMAMINE / CLARET RED crossing played a little bit on the tougher side. I also couldn’t recall ADELPHI off the top of my head and had to get it with the crossers. Overall, very well constructed puzzle! I enjoyed the challenge. The theme played more Thursday with some more challenging Saturday clues thrown in.
