Logic problems have always seemed nigh impossible to me. But I noticed my dad had a giant book of logic problems last year that he was more or less discarding—he has always liked them but he is getting old now and just doesn’t seen to have the brain power to do them anymore—so I decided to take it and genuinely try to solve even one. Well I did and got hooked on them. I have only ever tried any out of that particular book and since it is so huge physically, I wanted to find a smaller one that I can more easily take with me when I go places. I decided to give Puzzle Baron Logic Puzzles a try and I am glad I did!
The good things about this book…
The physical size and format. I can fit this in my purse and it is not super bulky or heavy so it’s pretty easy to take it around with me. The book easily opens and I do not have trouble filling in any of the spaces or reading the text due to proximity to the spine or any of that. The pages are easy to write on.
The organization of puzzles—they are sorted based on ease and based on the “solve rate” of players. I think sorting based on difficulty is standard but I have not seen data on the difficulty of each puzzle in other books. Each puzzle shows the solve rate, the average time the puzzle the puzzle took players to solve, and even the best time it was solved in and the username of the person who solved it. This must come from the website but I have not verified it or looked yet. I found it really interesting to see the percentage of players who solved each puzzle and to compare myself against that—I do not care about the times. I know I would not even be close to the times listed but nonetheless it is interesting to see!
If I have one criticism of the book it would just be that the print for the puzzles is very small! I do not have “old eyes” yet but even so I wish the size were just a touch bigger. Most logic puzzles seem to be pretty small font in general because of how much needs to fit on the page but this one seems just a bit smaller than the typical book I see.
The only other thing I noticed is that all of the puzzles in this book are six grids. I have seen logic puzzles that have more than six grids but this one does not. To me that is not a huge deal since I am not smart enough to deal with more than six anyway, but someone else might want to have this information. Also, there are no variations or different types of logic puzzles in the book. From start to finish, it’s all six-grid problems. That is also okay by me since those are the ones I like. I only mention it to provide information for anyone reading this review.
The book has a very helpful introduction for anyone who does not know how these sort of logic problems work and offers helpful information on some of the nuances within the clues.
Overall I recommend this book. I think it seems to be a decent choice for anyone who has not done logic puzzles but is curious and it is challenging enough for those who already understand how these work. I will definitely purchase more puzzle books from Puzzle Baron.

You can even compare your solution times against competitors: Each puzzle includes the average completion time, the record completion time, and the percentage of puzzlers who can complete the puzzle. Because the puzzles increase in difficulty, you’re guaranteed endless hours of challenges.
Put on your thinking cap and have fun testing your brain power!

However, some of the answers DO NOT match up with the clues given. As shown by the photos, the answer says Estrella has 150pts and Chandler has 200pts. But the clue clearly says Estrella has more points than Chandler!!
This is extremely frustrating because it has happened multiple times and now we don’t know which puzzles are truly correct and which are wrong. I have not seen anyone else with the same problem.
Some answers are wrong!!
