The Spy Test

This was a lot of fun, I shared some of these on a family game night and it really got everyone going. There are a good variety of puzzles and some f them are really tricky so I was grateful for a solutions section. I liked the part about the history. Unfortunately for me, it doesn't work as an ebook. I think it'll make a great Christmas present in hard copy.

Fun and entertaining with a lot of varied puzzle type. This is perfect as a gift for someone who likes sudokus and want to dive deeper into the puzzles of the world.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this eARC.
