The 125 Best Brain Teasers of All Time

“I bought this book as a gift but after receiving it I think I might purchase it for myself. I really enjoyed looking over the brain teasers but what I liked most about this book is that if you get stuck on a brain teaser you can head towards the back of the book and get some clues. If you still can’t figure it out then at the every end of the book they have the answer how they got to that answer. I would certainly buy this again as a gift.” – Customer Review

“I use this book at work to create team building games and incorporate different puzzles from different levels. They have proven to be a lot of fun and lead to some very interesting discussions. Some are quite simple, while others take quite a bit of thinking. It is also cool that for each puzzle, there is a bit of a history with it to give some context. A very enjoyable book.” – Customer Review
“My dad and I have exchanged a variety of puzzles for the last 55+ years He enjoyed this book that gave a bit of history on some types of puzzles. He had to put the book away in order not to read it all in one day.” – Customer Review
