It was that idea - of delighting in cracking the code, and even spotting that there was a code in the first place - that inspired Miller when he approached the duo about helping to bury clues in the show, deep hints that would reward close attention and rewatches by keen minds. "I made Rian Johnson cry once," Kwong says, quickly adding, "Kidding!" (Lord tells VF that he doesn't attend, "so the group could proceed with success without a big dummy weighing it down," but clarifies that he's "killing it at Wordle.") Imagine very intense escape room runs and hours-long games of Decrypto, which Kwong describes as "kind of like Code Names on steroids." That game usually takes about 20 minutes to get through-but with the intense puzzle night crew, every nuance matters. The two got acquainted with Miller at a regular game night for Hollywood puzzle nerds, among them Aline Brosh McKenna, Craig Mazin and Megan Amram.

They're a Big Deal in puzzling circles: Both are New York Times-published cruciverbalists, the holy grail of crosswords Kwong has staged multiple successful magic/code-centric shows at LA's Geffen Playhouse and Shukan has both won and written the MIT Mystery Hunt, which he calls "the Olympics of puzzle solving."
#THE CIRCLE THE AFTERPARTY PROFESSIONAL#
Shukan, an attorney for 30-plus years who has been moonlighting as a professional puzzler for the past decade, and Kwong, a magician and puzzlemaker, have since worked as a duo consulting on puzzles, deceptions and codes in shows like NBC's The Blind Spot and the recent Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie. The pair first encountered one another in an escape room, Kwong and Shukan tell VF, a meet-cute ripe for a puzzle-centric buddy comedy. (It’ll reward them even further in its recently-announced second season.) Contrary to the idea that binge-watching is a mindless zone-out, this show can flex your brain muscles if you let it-thanks not only to Miller, but puzzle consultants David Kwong and Dave Shukan.
