CTC Fan Discord

The Cracking the Cryptic Fan Discord server is a fan-created community of CTC and puzzling enthusiasts.

The server was created on the 11th of May, 2020, originally as a server for followers attempting CTC's first ever Sudoku Puzzle Hunt, set by Ben Needham, which was published on May 3rd on CTC's Patreon page. Over the next month, the server received several shout-outs on the channel and started to grow in membership rapidly, reaching 3,000 members by 13 June, 2020.

In the server, members actively discuss all aspects of puzzling, among which solving, setting, theory and programming, recommend puzzles to members and discuss CTC content.

As of the 11th of June, 2020, the server has a dedicated channel, #ask-ctc, for asking questions to CTC hosts Mark and Simon, which are frequently answered by the hosts.
