Editorial Reviews

Review

"I use this book at work to create team building games and incorporate different puzzles from different levels. They have proven to be a lot of fun and lead to some very interesting discussions. Some are quite simple, while others take quite a bit of thinking. It is also cool that for each puzzle, there is a bit of a history with it to give some context. A very enjoyable book." ― Customer Review

"My dad and I have exchanged a variety of puzzles for the last 55+ years He enjoyed this book that gave a bit of history on some types of puzzles. He had to put the book away in order not to read it all in one day." ―

"I love to be challenged and many of these brain teasers fit the spot. Every Saturday my friends and I get together at a bonfire and we all sat around and I read these teasers. We had a blast. This book is perfect for yourself, with friends, or even for trivia night!" ―
Customer Review

"I bought this book as a gift but after receiving it I think I might purchase it for myself. I really enjoyed looking over the brain teasers but what I liked most about this book is that if you get stuck on a brain teaser you can head towards the back of the book and get some clues. If you still can't figure it out then at the every end of the book they have the answer how they got to that answer. I would certainly buy this again as a gift." ―

Sometimes my mind races when I’m should be sleeping, but when I get this book out I’m able to distract myself from daily stressors so that my brain can start to wind down.

My dad loves brain teasers so when i got him this he was really happy. The teasers go from easy to hard levels, and really test your brain capabilities. Overall totally recommend if you want to get a little game to kill time.

3.0 out of 5 stars It’s what you think it is

It’s what you think it would be. A book of different brain teasers. It starts you off at an easy level and you work your way up.

Nice mix of word and number puzzles which start easy and then get more difficult. Good time filler. Good brain exercise!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm having so much fun

S. · March 4, 2024

This book is a book of easy-very hard teasers, and I'm having a blast. I had 2 brain surgeries between September and December of 2023, and needed something to help with memory and comprehension. The easy in this is making me think and I'm getting them correct. I know that may be easy for you, but for me it's huge. I'm sitting here writing this review with a smile and a hope again. Thank you to Marcel Danesi for writing this book and amazon for getting it to me.

Great gift idea!

She loved it and the puzzles/riddles in the book are very clever!

Not the best puzzle book

R.T.A. · April 2, 2023

Could be better, it is not very challenging for someone more skilled. You will face more difficult problems in the final levels.

Great book

C. · March 7, 2022

Exactly what I was looking for.
