Other works are more fun: the Mulldoon sequence (two games) is puzzle-based. The first game, The Mulldoon Legacy (1999), is reputedly the longest text-game ever written; the follow-up, The Mulldoon Murders (2002) is much shorter and darker in tone. Till Death Makes a Monk-Fish out of Me (2002, 2nd place in the Interactive Fiction Competition, and nominated for four XYZZY Awards) is a black comic science fiction story.

Jon Ingold was educated at Parrs Wood High School and Sixth Form Centre and then studied mathematics at St John's College, Cambridge from 1999 to 2002. After graduation he became a mathematics teacher at Highgate School, London.
