Anyone know of any books of logic puzzles where a series of clues are given and you have to solve who committed a crime or similar? DD had such a puzzle in a detective kit thing she was given and is keen on doing more, anyone know of any?

Thanks, ordered the black hand there in the link and an Usborne puzzle one, and see how they go - and then move on to the yellow dragon.

Hi everyone, the Adventures of the Black Hand Gang aka Get a Clue was my favourite read as a kid.

So much so, that I decided to go ahead and create a new book in the spirit of H. J. Press, following the exact same concept!

It spans 31 chapters with just as many full color illustrations and riddles / puzzles to solve. Please check out the trailer and the Kickstarter page. It would be fantastic to have you guys support this endeavour. I can need all the promotion I can get so go ahead and share this news with everyone out there 🙂

Also, I hope it is okay to post a link to the campaign? Here it is: www.kickstarter.com/projects/1371472456/legend-of-the-star-runner-an-immersive-homage-to-a

Please feel free to reach out to me if you like!
