Thanks for listening to the eighth Crystal Habit podcast!
The inner workings of a game studio are often enigmatic, and The Crystal Habit Podcast: Episode 8 aims to shed light on what it takes to keep a crew of creatives happy and healthy.

As noted in the podcast, we’re changing up the format of the Tomb Raider Trivia Challenge in order to accommodate fans. I’ve received feedback that it’s a tad difficult for non-native English speakers to catch the questions posed on the podcast each month. As such, all three questions will be posted in text on our various social media outlets from now forward, including the Official Tomb Raider Blog, Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.
The trivia challenge will still correspond with the podcast each month in regards to timing, but this adjusted format should make it easier for fans worldwide to participate. Look for all three trivia challenge questions on the blog later today.
Enjoy the show!

To make it even easier on you, we’ve compiled all the trivia questions in the final minutes of the podcast. Remember to enter all three answers in the appropriate fields of TombRaider.com/podcast to participate!
