Metapuzzle™ books on request
We offer books with Metapuzzles™, which are collections of
puzzles whose solutions provide a sequence of clues that can be
decoded into a message. Finding the message requires solving the
puzzles and consulting a codebook (which we provide as an appendix) to
decrypt a final message. The codebook varies with the puzzles and
message.
See a sample book (PDF).
Such books can be used as:
- Promotional material (with a message like "ACME Corporation is
tops!")
- Motivational material (with a message like "Belinda Johnscomb
is the worker of
the year at ACME Corporation")
- A custom gift for a party (with a message like "I went to
Harvey's 40th birthday party and all I got is this lousy book of
puzzles")
We offer a variety of degrees of difficulty, from very easy
(appropriate for children) to extremely hard, and a range of puzzle
types, such as classical Sudoku, Latin square, and Multi-9™,
with optional diagonal constraints.
We offer a number of delivery options:
- A PDF document; you can print and bind the
book as you wish.
-
You can
specify what you want on the title page, and we will include it.
-
If you provide a logo or other cover material, we can build a cover
page.
- For an appropriate fee, we can arrange for printing, binding, and
shipping.
