399 Games, Puzzles & Trivia Challenges Specially Designed to Keep Your Brain Young.

This brain training book for adults is really useful and has a good variety of puzzles to solve to keep your brain active. I particularly like the fact that that it’s is very informative at the start of the book. Plenty to keep you going for a while. Very good value.

Fun but I’m not American so don’t know some of the general knowledge questions

Some good universal games but sooo many US references like tv Jingles, shape of US states. Nice book though.

Great book

Quite expensive for a puzzle book. It should be made clear in the description that this is for Americans . I feel cheated as I was greatly looking forward to it Many questions useless as aimed at America.

Too many American based questions

fun and interesting tests, but lots of questions about the USA so if you don’t know a lot about it or live there, a lot of the questions are a waste

A mixture of general knowledge and lists with a few brain teasers. Some types of puzzle repeated. Many of them rely on popular US culture and history, so impossible for us Brits, eg. Finish the jingle and Alma's shopping list, which are for products we don't have. Disappointing.

This is the first of 3 books by Nancy Linde, and they are my absolute favorites of this genre (brain, mind activities). The book has many types of puzzles: ALMA'S SHOPPING LIST - anagrams ANAGRAMS CLASSIC RIDDLES COMPOUND WORD SEARCH - Put two pictures together to make a compound word. (Ex. picture of a crab + picture of grass = crabgrass) DOUBLE TROUBLE - Compound Words ENDINGS AND BEGINNINGS EPONYMS FAMOUS MOVIE LINES FIND THE WORDS - Find all words beginning with a certain letter in a picture FINISH THE JINGLE, FINISH THE SAYING FOLLOW THE RULES HOMONYMS MONTH IN HISTORY - Identify important dates ODD MAN OUT ONE MINUTE MADNESS - How many items you can list for a subject in one minute PALINDROMES PICTURE THEMES PUT THE LIST IN ORDER RHYME TIME - two definitions that must rhyme RUN THE ALPHABET - Different categories where you come up with a word for every letter of the alphabet. STINKY PINKY - Two clues, answers rhyme. (Ex. An introverted insect. Answer: SHY FLY) TRIMBLE WACKY WORDIES WHAT DO THEY HAVE IN COMMON? - Ex. Bowling alleys, seamstresses, and hand grenades. Answer: Pins WHATZIT - Guess the thing from clues WHOOZY - Guess the person from clues WORD PARTS - Ex. The opposite of out + verdict deciders. Answer: In + jury = injury. WORD SEARCH This is just a small fraction of the activities. There's a large variety of activities which are all fun, interesting, and challenging. NOTE: These are all word activities, no number puzzles such as Sudoko, etc.

This is a large collection of puzzles with a great variety of puzzle types and varying skill levels. Most puzzles and answers seem fairly easy (which give you a sense of accomplishment), however there's always a few in each puzzle that are a little more difficult and make you think a little harder, which is the whole point. I would recommend this book.

Ich bin ein richtiger Fan von Logik und Matherätsel. Das Buch ist genau das richtige für mich und meiner Freundin. Wir haben richtige Rätselstunden mit dem Buch.

It is only for people very very femilier with Amiracan culture and its history.

More apt for USA people.Examples and terms don't fit in the Indian context.
