David J. Bodycombe (born 1973 in Darlington, County Durham) is an English puzzle author and games consultant. He is based in London, and his work is read by over 2 million people a day in the UK, and is syndicated to over 300 newspapers internationally.[1] He devises puzzles for the Daily Mail, Daily Express, Metro and BBC Focus magazine.[citation needed]
Bodycombe consults on television game shows, including The Crystal Maze, The Krypton Factor, The Mole and Treasure Hunt. He was the question editor for the first 8 series of BBC Four's lateral thinking quiz Only Connect. On BBC Radio 4 he appeared on the quiz Puzzle Panel and devised the cryptic clues for X Marks the Spot. He has written and edited over forty books, including How to Devise a Game Show and The Riddles of the Sphinx – a history of modern puzzles.
In 2005 he started to devise sudoku puzzles, and was the first person to have sudokus published in several major territories, including India and Scandinavia.[citation needed] As well as the classic 9x9 puzzle, he pioneered a number of alternative designs. His games, puzzles and questions also appear in magazines, and on websites, advertising campaigns, board games and interactive television.
He edits UKGameshows.com, a wiki-based web site cataloguing UK television and radio game shows.
