The Brainiest Insaniest Ultimate Puzzle Book!

I can't begin to tell you how AMAZING this puzzle book is. There are weeks upon weeks of entertainment in this book! And even though the cover looks like it is geared for a kids only audience, it's not. Kids and kids at heart will enjoy solving the endless variety of puzzles, codes, crosswords, mazes, etc. that this book has to offer. When you open the book for the first time you will be shocked by the full color puzzles that are beautifully illustrated. I've been working on this book for a month now and am still not finished. You will never want to put this book down or ever want the fun to end! There are puzzles in every type of difficulty level so it's sometimes a challenge and sometimes just relaxing and mind-numbing. The puzzles are addicting! And If you want to change to a different style/type puzzle, just flip to a different chapter in the book hosted by different characters like Sherlogic Holmes (logic puzzles) and Alice in Wanderland (mazes). This is a GREAT birthday gift or Christmas gift for anyone that appreciates illustration and puzzles. Even if your child is too young for this book now (I wouldn't recommend for anyone younger than 8) still buy it now while you can and save it for when they are a little older.

My grandkids are absolutely addicted to this book, what a nice change from staring at the TV. What I noticed was that the parents seemed to get involved also. My granddaughter who is 7 looks for it as soon as she gets up. My 9 yr old grandson used to do crossword puzzles with me but we couldn't find ones that fit his age group. This is so much more interesting, some are fairly easy and others not so easy. I just recommended it to the mother of a 5 year old There are enough puzzles for that age group to make it worth the money. I'm sure this will keep them busy through the summer vacation.

Kept my 9 year old entertained for hours. Great color pictures and fun puzzles, some were repeated, but he loved it. The only reason I gave it a 4 star was because the binding fell apart, and we had to make sure we kept all the pages together and didn't lose the answer sheets.

My clever 8 year old has spend HOURS reading/playing with this book. It literally has kept her occupied longer than ANY OTHER TOY OR BOOK she owns. The puzzles are challenging, separated into different types, and include answers in the back. I have to admit, I have also poured over this book solving multi-step hidden object puzzles! GREAT BUY! As far as an age recommendation - my child reads at 5th grade level, but is still very "8 yrs old" when it comes to reasoning and following instructions. The multi-step puzzles do require some parent participation, but she has not run into anything that was so hard as to be frustrating or make her want to give up on the book.

If you are looking for something to keep you busy, this is it. Buy this book. The puzzles are fun, challenging, and different. The creators of this book were so creative! The entire book has 250 different puzzles ranging from mazes to riddles, scavenger hunts to word searches, rhymes to logic, and following directions to trivia. And just when you think you're done with the book, there's one last challenge: a book wide scavenger hunt. So much fun!

Fun puzzles and my daughter loves the book but it started falling apart 30 minutes after she opened it.

We really enjoyed this puzzle book. I purchased it for my oldest child who is 8 years old and in third grade. The puzzles were challenging, but MOST of them weren't SO challenging that they caused her to want to quit or not like it. She asked for help on some puzzles (spelling of words, or answers to parts of the puzzle she wouldn't know, like what an hourglass is) but overall a good challenge that most kids should be able to do at the suggested age range. Most of the puzzles aren't simple either; when I tried my hand at them to find the answers there were times where I really had to work through a process to find the solution. I highly recommend this book for children who like puzzles or for children who need practice with their critical thinking skills.

So my almost 11 year old corners me to do these puzzles with him. He Loves them!! I had hoped the reviews were on target and they were. Colorful pages, engaging directions, smart solutions and clever answers, the puzzles are fun, tricky, and hours of fun!! Thanks and make more!!

very fun book and great puzzles

Bought this for the second time bc my youngest wanted his own one! American language but still a nice chunky puzzle book for children who like to use their brains! High quality.

Love this book! Very different than other activity books, great for the creative mind to take a break from daily life!

Print is very small

Bought this for a 10 year old who loves doing puzzles. It is one of the best kids puzzle books I've ever seen, colourful and engaging. It has a good mixture of trickiness which keeps them motivated. Slightly concerned that when its finished she'll want another one which won't live up to her expectations after this one!
