I kick off a high school English class with 2 puzzles a day, and I am
Now the proud owner of my second set of all 4 boxes. I gave away the first when I left the profession for a year, but this was among my first purchases when I started over.My students LOVE these.

How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2017I respect Will Shortz as perhaps the USA's best puzzlemaster, but I expected more. I slogged my way through as many pages as I could and abandoned it.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2014We play them a couple at a time, sometimes over breakfast. Never more than 3 or 4 puzzles at a time, though - we stretch the fun out over several weeks. Will Shortz has a collection of similar decks, and we're always glad to find a new one.
We also like the product design, and the sturdiness of the cards and the box. Nothing flimsy here, really well produced.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2016Different and something fun to do when the cable/internet is down or if you want a change of pace from board games.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2015When you buy this deck, keep in mind that these are fairly difficult puzzles. They require some serious thought; they're not rapid-fire quiz questions like those in Will Shortz's Brain Busters, Puzzlemasters, or Mind Games. For my purposes -- sitting around the campfire or in a car on a road trip -- Brain Busters Puzzlemasters and Mind Games are much more fun!!! The best thing about this deck is it's size -- like a deck of cards, it's easy to stuff in a pocket or a pack.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2014Though some of the puzzle solutions are a bit outlandish, this is a great game to play in a group where each person has a chance to contribute to finding the answer. Very rewarding once you get them right!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2023Cons: puzzles are not clever. They are all anagrams. Why aren't answers on back of card? Why do I have to look up the answers in a different book?
Pros: box and materials are in good quality. Got it for free. It's small; doesn't take up too much room in the trash bin.
