Journal 29: Interactive Book Game

This book is a really engaging and interactive puzzle book that challenges readers to solve a series of intricate riddles and puzzles. Each page presents a unique challenge that requires critical thinking, creativity, and sometimes external research to decipher. Keep an open mind and think outside the box (or book in this case)! The book's design is visually appealing, with mysterious and intriguing illustrations that enhance the experience. Ideal for puzzle enthusiasts, "Journal 29" offers a captivating and immersive journey through each page, making it a fun and stimulating way to spend time while testing one's problem-solving skills. I loved the ease of scanning the QR codes on each page to enter your potential answer to obtain the key. When I finish this I will most definitely purchase the next set of puzzle books!

It's a really great concept and I'm on puzzles 7. I'm addicted. They are stimulating without being too difficult yet challenging enough that they can take a good 20 mins or more per puzzle. Have a notebook beside you if you don't want to write in it but I have to say I'm so happy I purchased this. Definitely will buy these as gifts. Great for those with time to kill, who want a brain teaser that's not just a crossword or suduko etc. The concept is quite simple. 2 page spread per puzzle. Page 2 is the puzzle while page 1 has a qr code and if correct that will give you a key to write at the bottom of the page. You cannot progress without the key as some keys are for puzzles further on. There is a demo puzzle, and the website is easy use. If you can operate a smart phone with a qr code scanner, have a pen, can use your logic then have a go.

I bought this for my wife, she likes riddles and puzzles. We have really enjoyed working on it together and figuring out the solutions. My only criticism is that it isn't always very logical, there's a level of knowledge required in some of the puzzles which isn't even loosely hinted at. Thankfully there is a well structured forum where hints are provided. We have had to use it a handful of times. In saying that, it is well worth a purchase. Better than a crossword or wordsearch book!

What I like: The puzzles are varied in complexity. Some are seemingly obscure and yet when you solve them you think "Of course! How obvious!" The whole concept is excellent. This is a book where you can snap a couple of pages on your phone and take them to work for some dinner time leisure. Each puzzle is like a cryptic crossword clue and consists of either a pictorial, logical, mathematical or alphanumerical problem. Some need out-of-box thinking, others are more straight forward. What a FUN book!! What I don't like: the paper and print quality disappoints you when you first open the book - as though it was very cheaply made. This is more than made up for though when you get puzzling! :) PS. there is a help forum for anyone who thinks they may struggle. I've used it once to tease an extra hint my way. The point is, it's there if you need it so don't be put off. The other excellent aspect of the book is that you can't just go and Google an answer - haha! You actually have to THINK like we did in the ol' days... ;)

loved this book. Perfect xmas puzzle book. Takes about 2-3 days, on and off eating turkey and cake.

I love escape rooms and games based on escape rooms, it was so good to find something that worked on these principles that I could just pick up and put down and wander around the garden thinking about. Great difficulty levels and a friendly online community with hints to hand if you need them. I bought the other two straight away.

This book is fantastic. There are lots of puzzles and it takes a good long while to complete. I was impressed that the puzzles are very well thought through and a lot of fun. I couldn't put it down and my boyfriend went from reading over my shoulder to falling in love with the book. Sometimes the puzzles are very hard but there is a hints page which I confess I needed a few times. It's such a good, complex, entertaining puzzle book. I cannot recommend it enough!

With Journal 29 it was suggested that you would solve the mystery of the expeditions disappearance. You don't! But the puzzles are original, all very different and with the online hint pages you can avoid getting stuck longer than is necessary. This book draws you in and keeps you interested while thinking outside of the box. If you don't like one puzzle you can still solve it and you will like the next. The theme is strong but the story is left to your imagination. I am just not used to that anymore.

Great book!! Very satisfied when finishing a puzzle! Very fun!

I have played URL based games before. So concept wasn't really new. But what fascinated me was how the author has converted the game in book format. Also the puzzles are excellent. I received today and couldn't stop playing. The hints on their website are good too...

Erg leuk om te doen, tijdens de avondklok even iets anders dan Netflix.

Really fun, my partner and I worked on this sporadically for over a year before finally completing it. Very cleverly done, and definitely some 'outside the box' thinking. Defi itely getting the next book in the series

This keeps the mind occupied sonetimes difficult but great forum when you need hekp
