The puzzle was created to celebrate the UK’s biggest gaming festival, Insomnia, which returns to Birmingham’s NEC arena this weekend between the 25th-28th August.

Insomnia’s spokesman said: “Video games are one of the biggest draws in entertainment these days, with eSports and gaming tournaments drawing millions of fans.

“And we thought it would be a great idea to create a mashup of some of the biggest games in history – and some of the biggest upcoming releases – in one tricky puzzle.”

Insomnia will be playing host to some of the biggest names on YouTube and British gaming, including Syndicate, Dan TDM, Yammy XOX and iBallistic Squid.

Gamers will have the chance to be the first in the UK to play top titles FIFA 18, Farcry 5 and the Crew 2.
