baloney.pro was established in 2022 with a vision to create casual puzzle games that combine absurd humor, creative problem-solving, and lighthearted fun. Based in Chicago, Illinois, our team of 6 developers, writers, and comedians combines expertise in game design, comedy writing, and user experience to craft puzzles that make players laugh while challenging their minds.
Our flagship game, Baloney: Ridiculous Puzzles, features over 500 whimsical puzzles across categories like wordplay, logic, slapstick humor, and absurd scenarios. Players can solve puzzles alone or with friends, share funny solutions on social media, and unlock silly cosmetic themes (e.g., pickle-themed interfaces, rubber chicken sound effects). What sets us apart? Our puzzles prioritize humor and creativity over frustration—there’s often more than one "silly" solution, and hints are delivered in a playful, joke-filled manner. We also encourage user-generated content, allowing players to submit their own ridiculous puzzles (with moderation) for a chance to be featured in the game.
We foster a lighthearted, inclusive community. Baloney: Ridiculous Puzzles hosts weekly "silliest solution" contests with in-game rewards, and our social media channels share funny gameplay clips, behind-the-scenes joke writing, and player submissions. Our forums are a safe space for players to share their favorite puzzles, suggest new humor themes, and connect with the team. We believe that gaming should be a stress reliever, so we avoid toxic mechanics and focus on joy and laughter.
Since launching, baloney.pro has grown to over 70,000 registered players and has been featured in casual gaming blogs for its unique blend of humor and puzzles. Our commitment to community feedback has led to major updates, including new puzzle categories (e.g., pop culture parodies, dad joke puzzles), a mobile version optimized for touch controls, and a cooperative puzzle mode for playing with friends.
Looking ahead, we’re expanding Baloney: Ridiculous Puzzles with a "puzzle creator" tool that lets players design and share their own puzzles with the community, a seasonal event system (e.g., holiday-themed absurdity), and integration with social media platforms for seamless sharing. We’re also developing a standalone word puzzle game focused on puns and wordplay, aimed at language lovers and comedy fans.
At baloney.pro, our mission is to make people laugh while challenging their creativity—one ridiculous puzzle at a time. Whether you’re looking for a quick distraction during your commute or a fun activity to enjoy with friends, we invite you to embrace the absurdity and join our playful community.
