Everyone that knows me, will say that I have an obsession with true crime videos and podcasts, which means that this is something that i would 100% love. And lets just say, it lived up to my expectations.

The book includes over 250+ puzzles, some of which are themed around different true cases, such as a wordsearch about the Chicago tylenol case. The puzzles being themed around specific cases, and not just mystery as a whole scratched a particular part of my brain. There is a good variety of puzzles such as trivia questions, wordsearch, sudoku, magic squares and the like. If you love true crime and puzzles, i would highly recommend buying this when it comes out September 10th.

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Zeitgeist for giving me a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley for this arc!

I love the concept of these books, however it’s better done as a paperback (crosswords and whatnot.)
I had a fantastic time doing the activities I could!

The "True Crime Trivia & Activity Book" offers a fascinating mix of games and intriguing facts that make for an entertaining read. While it’s not groundbreaking, it does provide a pleasant diversion for true crime enthusiasts. The variety of activities keeps things engaging, and it’s a solid choice for fans of the genre or as a way to pass the time during a flight. Overall, it's a worthwhile pick if you're looking for a fun, crime-themed activity book.

I am a crime junky; this was the perfect book for me!

I enjoyed the diversity and difficulty level of the puzzles. There were plenty of different activities included. Crosswords, cryptograms, word searches, logic puzzles, maxes, spot-the-difference, sudoku, Decoding, word scramble, Futoshiki, Knowledge tests, Kakuro, just to name a few. Some of these were definitely easier than others, and there were several games in here that I had never played before.

If you are a fan of puzzles and true crime this is the perfect book for you.

Thank you Zeitgeist and NetGalley for this book. This is my honest review.

The layout of this book was very nice and the quizzes was fun. I would have needed to print it out to solve the other puzzles but they looked like a great time. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was so much fun! Solving puzzles and learning some true crime trivia along the way. Really cool concept.

i wasn’t expecting to love this one but it was such a fun activity book. i’m a sucker for solving sudoku so i’m biased but the quiz and cryptogram were so cool !!! highly recommend to the people that love doing nyt games !!!

This was really fun! As an avid NYT Games daily-doer, I love a little activity to get my brain going and to help me pull away from day-to-day stressors. I also love any excuse for something I can do away from my phone. :)

I loved this idea! It is very engaging. It has sudoku, crosswords, questions and so many more puzzles. It has solving puzzles and true crime, both are my absolute favorite. I cannot wait to try it out.

Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for this e-ARC.

I was expecting more of a mix between true crime information and activities. There are quizzes and puzzles themed after crimes (some more famous than others), but just the answer keys in the back of the book. I was expecting a quiz followed by more details regarding the crimes the questions were regarding. For puzzles, I was expecting information about the crime followed by a puzzle. It was a bit off putting to see a casual word search about the Tylenol murders and I'm someone who has to look at crime scene photos as part of my job.

This was a very fun and interesting puzzle book. I will definitely be purchasing this for the library for our true crime book club.

This collection of true crime puzzles is amazing!! There is a great collection of different types of puzzles, too. Little quizzes to test your knowledge, sudoku, acrostics, and so many more different types of puzzles.

The layout is fun with little elements of true crime stains - such as coffee cup stains. This will also introduce you to some true crime cases you may not have heard of.

I'll definitely be picking this one up for my personal use.

If you're a casual fan of true crime, if you watch the Dateline 24/7 channel 24/7, if the murder podcasts, fill your commute, then this is a must-have book for you!

If, like me, you are a teacher, you definitely want this for a classroom resource. It has activities for critical thinking where students could look for differences in call logs like real detectives would. You can check for a crime scene that has been tampered with. These are great for critical thinking and give students a meaningful avenue for focus and attention to detail. It contains puzzles with different histories of crime and even sudukus. You will want to check with copyright compliance depending on how you choose to make the material available, but there are many great ideas on how one could engage students. I have had so much fun completing the activities myself and thinking of ways to incorporate this information into the classroom.

Hard to rate. But going with 5stsrs for the unite and fun idea. Super super fun. A physical book would be the best way to get the most out of it. Would make a great gift for a true crime lover

This activity book is perfect for a true crime lover with some other puzzles to solve including sudoku and magic squares and so much more!

Enjoyed all these puzzles and trivia that this book had to offer.

Publication Date is September 10 - preorder on Amazon now!

I love this activity book! It genuinely kept me busy and focused. I find a lot of activity books to be too easy but this one has some challenging puzzles. I will definitely be purchasing this when it comes out.

I love the trivia questions in this book. It was so much fun to learn the answer to some of these questions. There are numerous types of puzzles to solve. I really like the Evidence Board puzzle. Not all were geared towards True Crime, but all of the activities were interesting. I would probably get this book when it came out in book format. I would definitely recommend this activity book to anyone who enjoys these activities.

Thank you NetGalley and Zeitgeist for this advance reading copy.

This activity book contains various puzzles including logic puzzles, crosswords and wordsearches as well as quizzes based on true crime cases. I liked the concept of this book and I thought it was great that such a wide variety of puzzle types were included. In terms of the true crime trivia, a diverse selection of cases were included and I thought that the cases were handled respectfully and weren't sensationalized or made fun of as is so often the case with true crime content.

I wish I had a physical copy of this book so I could attempt the puzzles myself and easily skip to the end to check my answers. With the digital version, this becomes quite difficult so I would definitely recommend purchasing a physical copy if this book appeals to you.

AHHHH this book is so so cool!! i love true crime and i love puzzle.... oh my god, i love this. i wish i had the physical copy of this puzzle book asap. it has crosswords, wordsearches, trivia, and a lot more! there is sudoku as well but im not exactly sure how that fits with the true crime theme. i think they are put in there for fun (and i don't mind). i hope to get a physical copy of this at some point.

Thank you NetGalley, Zeitgeist, and Lana Barnes for this great copy of true crime activities! All opinions are my own and honest.
