A guide for grown-ups
A puzzle book with one mystery running through it, for kids aged about 8 to 12 who like logic, codes and detective stories.
Who it suits
Kids who finish puzzle pages fast and want something harder. The puzzles start at Trainee level with a how-to page first, then step up through Junior and Senior to Master Detective, so an 8-year-old can start and a 12-year-old still gets a challenge.
How it works
The puzzles are grouped into 8 cases. Solving a case gives clue letters, and the clue letters lead to the Final Case. That story thread is what keeps kids coming back. They want to know who has been feeding the robot bad data.
Help without giving it away
Every puzzle has a hidden hint, so a stuck child can get a nudge without reading the answer. The answer pages explain how each puzzle is solved, step by step, so a child who got it wrong can see why and try the next one smarter.
Good for
- Road trips and rainy days: no screen or batteries needed.
- Two kids at once: the book includes paper games for two players.
- Classrooms: logic grids and codes make good early-finisher work.
Same characters as Robot Brain Math, but no math needed.
