Amazing!!!!

This had been the most fun I've had doing puzzles in a very, very long time! It's absolutely incredible! I'm currently on number 47. Every page is challenging in a different way. I love that there are no instructions, hints, or answers. Some are simple and then there are others that completely stumped me and took me a while to solve.. I love it! I've done so many puzzle books in the past and this one is my all time favorite! Having to input answers online to get a code word to continue is brilliant! I can't wait to get the next one!

Grabbed this as a stocking stuffer for my hubby who loves escape rooms, puzzles and the like. He's been working his way through it - some of the puzzles are super easy and some have required a day or 2 of pondering- a very nice mix. Definitely recommend for anyone who likes a challenge presented in a unique way.

Great puzzles, def worth buying! But beware: not all print editions are as good

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2023

My friend surprised me by sending me this book and I loved it! Some of the puzzles seemed impossible and I admit I looked up plenty of hints and spoilers, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment. I scribbled all over it the first time through so I bought a 2nd copy to play it again with my brother. The book that arrived was printed and bound at a much lower quality than the first. The paper being a lower quality bothered me a little bc I bought the sequel and the two books don't match on my bookshelf and I'm OCD about that kind of thing, but the real issue is that the lower quality binding made it difficult to open the book flat and see the full page which is important for some clues, and also **SPOILER** some of the clues that span multiple pages didn't line up perfectly.

These minor issues drop my review by 1 star, but it didn't stop me from ordering a 3rd copy for my cousin just now. I'm crossing my fingers that the cheaper print was due to a temporary shortage and I'll get the higher quality version

My teen son LOVES escape the room type games, brain puzzles and ciphers!

After we got this for him at Christmas, he was buried in it for weeks. He often came to the meal table brimming with enthusiasm to share his latest challenge to see if we could figure it out as fast as he did (usually we couldn’t) or rarely he would ask for our collaberative assistance.

It was a fun purchase that he enjoyed even more than I thought he would!

I highly recommend. :)

Great, innovative puzzle experience.

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2017

Journal 29 is one of the most interesting concepts I’ve seen in a while. Somewhere in between classic pen and paper puzzles and phenomenons like escape room games, the book does a great job of adding something new to the genre.

It’s a book of 63 puzzles with a loose thematic theme tying them together. The puzzle themselves are generally great, but it’s the clever implementation that really sets this apart. First, each puzzle leads to an answer (usually a word or number) to be entered on a specific webpage to receive a “key” for the puzzle (again, usually a word or number). QR codes are provided so things are very smartphone friendly, but urls are also given and it was fine to play using a laptop. Keys are often used in future puzzles, so there’s a nice feeling of progress throughout the book.

Second, there are a lot of interesting puzzle variations, with some inventive uses of the internet involvement, connectivity between the puzzles, and the book format to stretch the genre a bit. There are also some similar looking puzzles here and there, but with different approaches and solutions that creates an additional level of intrigue. It’s really well put together, with solid levels of variety, originality, and challenge.

The story elements provide a nice theme and aesthetic, but are also minimal from a narrative point of view. This is a book of puzzles with a story framework, not any sort of complete tale. Which is perfectly fine, but should be kept in mind if you’re particularly intrigued by the story setup.

The book can be “played” solo or with a group (each person having their own copy is recommended). For people (like me) who opt for the solo play and have no other minds to bounce ideas off of, there are online message boards one the same site answers are entered that have hint threads by page. It’s a pretty good resource and reasonably useful help is provided without full spoilers. I referenced it several times for a little help to get started or when stuck (some of the puzzles are a bit obtuse and a push in the right direction greatly appreciated), and its availability generally prevents anything from getting too frustrating.

There was one puzzle I was unable to solve even with the hints (I know exactly what I need to do, but am not capable of it and got tired of trying different combinations of educated guesses). The hints were good, so short of someone handing me the answer there’s no further help to be gained. I was however able to reverse engineer that particular key from a later puzzle (which certainly won’t be possible in the vast majority of cases) so I wasn’t kept for completing anything else nor from finishing the book. The idea of that puzzle was quite good too, just the implementation was off for me. A little disappointing, but only one out of sixty three missing the mark is pretty good odds and it didn’t significantly detract from my enjoyment.

I managed to complete the book without writing in it, damaging pages, etc (by using scratch paper and occasionally photocopying pages), but if I had it to do over I probably would have just used the book straight up as intended. It’s well worth the price ($18 retail) and I likely spent too much effort and made some things harder on myself trying to keep it pristine to potentially be lent out / used again.

Overall Journal 29 is a unique puzzle experience that comes together really well. Recommended to anyone who enjoys stretching their brain a bit.

The puzzles are cool, but I was getting it as a gift some someone who likes book puzzles specifically because they don't involve technology. This book turned out to be a very wrong gift for that person. Just be aware of that before you buy it.

Out of the box thinking

I ordered this for myself and have spent the past three hours immersed in it. Such a variety of puzzles. Some I solved instantly, some required a bit more thinking and a few I had to use the forum for as I could not comprehend (and you can’t really move on as you need the keys to solve further puzzles) but I really recommend.

Está en inglés pero por ahora , lo que llevo son problemas de lógica que teniendo un nivel normalito, incluso bajo, puede servirte. Sjempre se pueden buscar traducciones y tal. A mi me ha sorprendido mucho y me sigue sorprendiendo cada vez más a medida que avanzo. Se va haciendo más difícil pero se trata de eso, se retos. Es muy recomendable y más al precio que tiene.
