"Survivor" Champ Launches Adrenaline-Fueled Puzzle Game

A year after winning the CBS reality show "Survivor," Rachel LaMont is channeling the spirit of the series' iconic challenges into a new game. Her creation, "Puzzle Hungry: Umami Rush," challenges 2-4 players to a "chaotic kitchen race" where they must speedily solve jigsaw puzzles against one another.

LaMont, who was previously a UX designer, says the game was inspired by the intense adrenaline rush of "Survivor" competitions. "You cannot underestimate the amount of adrenaline that courses through your veins," she explains. "The ability to think through something like a puzzle when your heart is beating is just really interesting, because jigsaw puzzles at home is a very relaxing activity."
