It's not a puzzle. It's also a game filled with very, very bad moves.

I don't like puzzles that expect me to guess the opening and play through an entire game so I just clicked on solution and ran through it. I don't think that I would have many of the moves shown on either side. It was not a very good game. Sorry for the negativity but the post title seems desperate for replies and you asked for honest opinions.

To be a valid chess puzzle, you must both be required to play the best move in each given situation, and your opponent must play the best response. Clearly, neither of these two requirements have been filled.
There are other kinds of chess puzzles, too (selfmate, helpmate, serieshelpmate, helpstalemate, serieshelpstalemate, deductive puzzles, etc.), but that clearly isn't what's going on here, when the only instructions are "White to play"
WanderingWinder- While correct, I was referring to ordinary chess puzzles, with no such special restrictions.

Perhaps it was just some poor joke......?

nobody would let the opponent get that 2nd queen unless they were really bad at chess...
