Sherlock Holmes Puzzles: Visual Puzzles

Do you do well on the IQ test questions that are picking the correct unfolded box? If so, you are in luck! Sherlock Holmes Puzzles: Visual Puzzles has a hundred visual puzzles that use the same skill, the ability to move images around in your mind’s eye.

I love the unfolded box puzzles. But these are even more fun! This is the first Sherlock Holmes Puzzle book where I did better than 90% correct. The first few puzzles are relatively easy. However, the challenge becomes greater the further you dive into the book. Until puzzle 10, the picture squares are aligned to a grid. But number 10 forces your mind to align them rather than twisting the individual picture tiles around. Number 11 just gobsmacked me. It is very original. By the time I got to puzzle 100, the puzzles seemed easy again. I think my brain really was trained.

I really enjoyed Sherlock Holmes Puzzles: Visual Puzzles. If you are ready for entertainment that is also educational, look no further. Plus no math, reading, or logic puzzle grids required! 5 stars and a favorite.

Thanks to Wellfleet Press, Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

What a clever book to puzzle over! It is full of glorious illustrations that have been mixed up and you have to work out which tiles don't slot back into place to make the picture whole again. They are all themed on Sherlock Holmes stories, so this will really appeal to Conan Doyle fans. However, if you haven't read the original books, or aren't a fan, don't be put off, as no prior knowledge is necessary!

I would imagine this would be a fun puzzle book to work on together in a group - perfect Christmas present o ponder over as you let your lunch go down!

Perfect! A ton of funs and mind twisting visual puzzle to keep you buzzy in this trouble time! I would recommend it if you like those kind of book! Totally worth it!

A lovely book with brain teasers for everyone. I really enjoyed the theme of Sherlock Holmes and Watson. The pictures are cool, so colourful and a perfect fit for the theme. Some of the pictures are easy to solve, others take a bit longer. In any case, I enjoy a book like this. It’ll take your mind off other things, because you have to concentrate on the picture to pick what’s wrong with it. I recommend this to anyone who likes brain teasers, Sherlock Holmes, and anyone who wants to get better at logical puzzles.

Great puzzle book, especially as I like logic puzzles. Some were very easy but then some became much harder to see all the issues. They are all of the same ilk and so if you did not like visual problems then ths is not a book for you. I would have preferred some variety in testing my visual skills but I still loved these as they are.
I consider that this would be better as a hard back as I had to keep going to the back to see if I had missed anything in my deductions. If it is to remain a digital issue than perhaps at the end of each puzzle a link to the solution could be given to ease the annoyance of scrolling down to the last pages each time.
Personal preference wouold be for it to remain as digital issue with lins to the solutions as then it would make a fantastic travel book to keep travellers amused at airports, stations etc without having to worry about weight or losing the book somewhere.

Well, this book certainly gave me an excuse to spend an enjoyable few hours tickling my brain!

Some of these visual puzzles are simple and just when you think you could apply for Watson’s job, the next puzzle throws you a curveball and gets you scratching your head.

Definitely a fun way to spend the evening.

There are a lot of visual puzzles on the Sherlock Holmes theme in this ebook. Some of these puzzles are easy, but not all. Some turned out to be quite challenging. It can be good entertainment during breaks or for lazy Sunday afternoons. I would say this one is best as a printed book because of the solutions that are at the back of the book. But it is useful as an ebook too.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this! All opinions are my own.

We ran through these challenges after considering some of the lateral brain teasers, in the same series.
We have thoroughly enjoyed challenging ourselves to think logically through visual cues.
The entire book is made up of segmented images and you are asked to work out what the odd one out is, and why?
I still have some challenges to complete but I'm looking forward to continuing on so I can enjoy each test as it comes.
I'm looking hopefully forward to more of these books!

This book is full of visual/logic puzzles inspired by the cases of Sherlock Holmes. This would be a fun book to have in the classroom for kids who need a challenge, or for anyone who just wants to give their brain a workout!

These puzzles would be great for a real Sherlock Holmes fan who likes to figure out things from the clues given. For me it was a bit to difficult to work on electronically.

These puzzles are great fun! The visual aspect to the puzzles was very well done and not a style I’ve seen before. They started off fairly straight forward and I naively thought they’d all be of a similar level – thankfully, I was wrong. The increase in difficulty was excellent and certainly kept me engaged throughout, and for any that I was really stuck on - the answers are all available at the end.

I particularly liked the references to actual Sherlock Holmes cases as created by the wonderful Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

If you enjoy puzzles that are that little bit different, then this is a book for you. I think it would be pf particular interest to those who also enjoy jigsaw puzzles. With 100 puzzles it’ll definitely keep you occupied.

Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Wellfleet Press and NetGalley UK for the review copy.

I have been in love with this book series ever since I started it. I love puzzles, and right now, they are the difference between sane and not during the pandemic. These puzzles are excellent because they are quick. Also, some people are far better at visual puzzles than word puzzles and I think that this is an excellent book for a family with children who are visual learners. You can show them the puzzle and help them to figure it out and if you try one that is too hard for them, you don't have to show them.

This is the type of book I would of loved as a kid, even if I couldn't solve the puzzles, because I would have to reason out the explanation to figure it out. I find that makes an excellent learning technique and makes your mind whip-crack sharp. I highly recommend these books to everyone.

NOTE: I do NOT recommend this book as an e-book. This book is meant to be flipped from the front to the answers in the back over and over again and scrolling to and fro for wasn't nearly as fun (and more time consuming). Take my word, this is definitely a hard copy purchase.
