This was a fun puzzle book. The difficulty of the puzzles increases nicely as one progresses through them.
I would have preferred some of the instructions to be a little clearer, but I was still able to do a good mix of the problems.
I recommend this if you like to ponder and tinker your brain when you have small moments to yourself.
Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy of the book for review purposes.

What sets this book apart is its integration of thought-provoking quotations and puzzles. Each puzzle is paired with a quote that delves into themes like psychology, human nature, and existence. This combination the puzzles more engaging but also provides a deeper, more reflective experience.

I adore puzzles, all sorts of riddles, etc. Unfortunately, this book is not for me. First of all, no matter how fluently I speak English, it is still a foreign language for me cause most of the time I think in Ukrainian, so it was quite difficult for me to solve these tasks and in general to keep my attention. Secondly (this is the main problem for me), the tasks are very similar, so I just got bored and uninterested after a few pages.

This book was full of brain teasers, puzzles, and fun riddles that are great for passing the time or giving your brain a little workout.

The illustrations were unique and eye-catching and gave the book a professional finish!

I think it would have been easier to enjoy via a print format vs the ebook, as the electronic format made flipping around a little more difficult, but I highly recommend Mind Game Challenge for all who love brain teasers and similar books!

Thank you to the author for providing this ebook for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This is absolutely fun! Perfect for those who love puzzles and brain teasers. Some are fairly, while some take time to answer. Either way this book is a great way to pass time.

I received this eARC for my honest opinion.

If you love word games, riddles, puzzles you should pick up this book and have fun with your family, friends or even with yourself. I enjoyed that in this book you have different levels of puzzles and if you’re not able to work it out you can easily move on and then just circle back to the ones that you might need a little more time with.

This book you can read/solve at your own pace, you can try to finish the whole book in one sitting or you can pace it out. I liked that even the easy ones were a little challenging at times and really made me use my skills to solve it.

This book was fun because when I needed a little break between books or when I wasn’t in the mood to read I would just pick up this book and start trying to solve the puzzles. I was even able to get a few of my co-workers involved with helping me solve them.

If you’re looking for a fun book that will help you sharpen your mind skills you really need to pick up this book and give it a try.

I want to thank NetGalley and Lselie Blckbrd for the opportunity to review this book.

A very fun and challenging puzzle book. I started with the easier ones and they already got me hooked. Nice way to stay focused on a task and challenge your brain. Let's see how far I'll get.

MIND GAME Challenge is an interesting collection of mostly word based mental puzzles. Some I found quite enjoyable but others left me scratching my head as to how to solve them, even after reading the instructions for them, lol. Speaking of those instructions, for some reason the detailed instructions for the puzzles happen to be at the end of the book. Yeah, after the solution pages, which I have at admit is what I found most puzzling, lol. Oh don’t get me wrong, there is a simple one sentence instruction at the top of every puzzle, but the detailed instructions are at the back. This was fun but there is room for improvement if the author decides to make another puzzle book. I’d like to thank the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an ARC of Mind Game Challenge.

This was an enjoyable puzzle book. It was kind of hard to do through Kindle, but I was able to screenshot to figure it out. Some of Hard puzzles were hard and some I found easy. I enjoyed a lot of them. I like that there was a variety of different puzzles to choose from so if I didn’t care for a certain type of puzzle, I could look at others to do..

What a very interesting book! I love riddles and logic and these kinds of games. I found the easy puzzles straightforward but couldn’t readily solve the few harder ones I took a peek at haha. If you love a good word puzzle, you’ll really enjoy this book!

I'm not really sure what to say about this. It's not what I was expecting. I'm sure other people will love these type of word puzzles but it wasn't for me. I love the cover, loved the premise and loved the interaction from the author and I hope it does well

This book was way too hard to try to read on a kindle. I would need to have the physical book in front of me in order to accurately solve the puzzles.

It's a good puzzle book but did not hold my attention. Definitely something to work through when you have some time to kill.

Pros: I love puzzle books, and the description of this book sounded unique! I was surprised that a reader can email their answers to the author and receive a badge. I found the rules' explanation pages to be helpful because several of these puzzle types were new to me.

Cons: None that I can think of!

Thank you to NetGalley and Lselie Blckbrd | Success Publications Sar for the opportunity to read this book.

A fun compilation of words games that really made me pause and think. I was fully immersed in the tasks, which I found to be a great stress reducer, as my mind was entirely focused on the task at hand. I mostly played around with the easy puzzles, which were fun and thought provoking. The hard ones I'll save for a day when I really want to challenge myself, because the hard puzzles are indeed hard.

A fun diversion that will really get you thinking.

A very cool puzzle book. It's challenging and fun. I do them with my teenagers and we have fun working out the puzzles together. Some are tricky and it's very rewarding when you finally solve them! :) Great fun.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.
