Crosspix puzzles are deceptively simple, very much like sudoku. Through a logical process of elimination and comparison, you use the numbers provided to determine which squares should be filled in. The biggest difference with sudoku being that, when you finish, instead of a grid of numbers, you have a pixillated picture to tell you if you've completed it correctly (as well as an answer key, of course). In the end, if you've completed the puzzle correctly, a picture reveals itself. Animals, sports, holidays, symbols — a surprise is guaranteed behind every grid! Crosspix includes complete instructions as well as an answer guide.

Okay, but lots of omissions,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crosspix: Pixillated Puzzle Madness (Paperback)
This is an okay puzzle book, except for missing numbers and columns apparently caused by over zealous trimming. It needed a proof reader. Here are omissions that the reader can correct:
#23 Column 29: Add the digit 1 as the top number in the list of clues. Line 17: Add the digit 2 as the first number in the list. Line 18: Add the digits 3 and 1 as the first two numbers. Line 19: Add the digits 3 and 2 as the first two numbers. #24 The last two columns are missing from the puzzle. You can draw the columns in. Missing column 19: Add the numbers 2, 12, 12, and 1 (top to bottom) as the list. Missing column 20: Add the numbers 3, 9, and 12 (top to bottom) as the list. #31 The last two columns are missing from the solution.. Don't peek at this correction if you don't want to know yet! (Correction: Fill in the top squares and the bottom squares of both columns.) #77 Column 9: Add the digit 5 as the top number in the list of clues. #79 Line 10: Add the digit 6 as the first number in the list of clues. Line 25: Add the digit 2 as the first number in the list. Line 26: Add the digit 2 as the first number in the list. #83 Column 18: Add the digit 4 as the top number in the list of clues. I cannot guarantee that these are the only omissions. These are the omissions that I discovered with diligent study.

Great for beginner,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crosspix: Pixillated Puzzle Madness (Paperback)
These are quite easy puzzles with fairly nice pictures, making this an ideal book for a beginner. If you're an addict of griddlers, paint-by-numbers, pixel puzzles, etc. like I am, this book feeds the addiction, but don't look forward to long solving times. My favorite books for experienced solvers are the griddlers from the Sunday Telegraph.

Crosspix is not the worst I've tried,
By
This review is from: Crosspix: Pixillated Puzzle Madness (Paperback)
Although this logic-puzzle book is the best of 4 that I recently purchased it has one major problem: printing errors. So far I've found one page that's missing half the puzzle, and at least two that the numbers were misprinted, making the puzzle impossible. The picture quality is fair, but I'm such a picture logic junkie that I'm still enjoying it.
