This book is the pinacle of riddle fun! I popped like a spring chicken when I bought this book because it's so small, but HUGE with entertainment and mind-titilating fun. Most riddle books are really joke books, but this one is the REAL THING! There are hours of enjoyment and tons of mind-stumping exercises- Great for the whole family!

i bought this for my riddle-crazy 11-year-old, and it has drawn in her 14- and 18-year-old sisters and me as well. the level of the riddles is not too hard for an 11-year-old, but not too easy for an adult. the layout of the book is engaging, and the way the answers are arranged at the end means that when looking up one answer it is hard to accidentally read the answer to the next one. absolutely perfect.

This is a fabulous book to entertain both child and parent. As a psychologist, I recommend this book to families as an activity that parents can do with their children. It is one of those rare activities that engages all ages and that often children are quicker at than their parents. My children and I have had great times trying to solve the riddles and we are still trying to solve some of them This is a great gift to give any child or family--they can be assured to share many enjoyable hours using it.

I purchased this book because I saw it online while researching riddles. I use this book in my classroom as a transition tool. When moving from one activity to another, I will write a riddle on the board or read one out loud. This allows the students to stop focusing on their previous activity and focus on solving the riddle. After we solve the riddle, we can move on to our next activity.

This book also proves to be a lot of fun just to have around the house. Many of my friends have picked it up and tried to solve some of the riddles.

I suggest this riddle book for anyone who wants to start a collection or add to their current collection.

This book puzzles the minds of 5 to 85 year olds and everyone wants to try solving the problems. We got several extra copies and gave them to a family with children ranging from 5 to 13, to a 17 year old, and to a middle school teacher. They were all immediately fascinated and lost in the book. Be sure not to look at the answers - it's much more fun to solve the problems. Great puzzles to take to work as well! I highly recommend the book for good famly time.

I bought this book because I'm a riddle fanatic. I was really pleasantly surprised by the sheer number of riddles. This book kept me busy for hours! The illustrations and the design are great too. This book makes a great gift for people of any age and is great at parties! It would be great if the authors did a follow-up book.

I bought this book for my 13 year old cousin for Christmas. Not only did she love the book, but our whole family got in on trying to figure out the brain teasers. Some of them were pretty easy, others not so easy...this makes it good for all ages!

This book was a gift for my 14 year old granddaughter. She loves the challenge of the puzzles and brain teasers. Good stuff.

First of all when i bought this movie i was looking for a book that could keep a group of adults (who are somewhat childish) occupied for backpacking trips or long car rides.

I would say it succeeded somewhat. I was not interested in math puzzles, something the book contains many of, but word puzzles, and more ideally ones that explained what different answers said about the answerer. This book had some challenging word puzzles, along with some easy ones, but it didn't have those insightful questions i was looking for (of course it never advertised having them either).

Bottom-line: would be great for individual use but has limitation in a group setting.

I bought this book based on the other reviews below, but wish I had not. The riddles in this book are much, much too difficult for children under the age of 13 or 14. My grandkids found them so difficult, they soon lost all interest. Fortunately, I had brought some other games along in the car for our long trip. I feel mislead; who wrote those reviews anyway? No child of "5 years old", as one reviewer said, could possibly do any of these riddles. Maybe a good gift for a high school or college student, but elementary kids definitely are not ready for this. Wish I could get my money back.
