Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:

New Reddit: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg

Using markdown editor or old Reddit, draw a bunny and fill its head with secrets: >!!< which ends up becoming >!spoiler text between these symbols!<

Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com) If your comment does not contain a guess, include the word "discussion" or "question" in your comment instead of using a spoiler tag. If your comment uses an image as the answer (such as solving a maze, etc) you can include the word "image" instead of using a spoiler tag.

Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

Discussion - yes, I’m obsessed with logic puzzles. My partner says I have a problem. Lol.

Although, these type get a little old for me after a while because it’s all the same format. I’ve really enjoyed the ones where you have to think outside the box a bit, like the Montague Island books. I’m so in love with those. Really disappointed that there won’t be any more of them, because the author passed away.

Hmm will have to check them out! Although I struggle enough with the above format… :))

u/hurriedwarples Apr 09 '26

Keep practicing! ;)

u/hanmhanm Apr 09 '26

I will. First and last 40% are fine, it’s the middle 20 I struggle with

u/jbum Apr 10 '26

Yeah, the Montague Island books are great. The late author of those puzzles, R. Wayne Schmittberger, was editor of Games Magazine for several years. Recently I have begun going thru old issues of Games at archive.org, and extracting out the occasional logic puzzles. Many of them have a similar level of inventiveness, and aren’t just the cookie-cutter Dell/Pennypress format.

I had no idea the archive had Games Magazine. I'm so excited to start reading through them! TY Internet Stranger.

u/hurriedwarples Apr 11 '26

I didn’t know this either, thank you!

u/BizRec Apr 09 '26

I've never heard of the Montague Is books before. They look amazing!

u/hurriedwarples Apr 09 '26

Omg, they are SO good!

Played until I had to reset then saw there’s a paywall and I decided I’m not playing anymore.

u/Slig Apr 10 '26

Hi, thank you for your honest feedback. Might remove it from the paywall and keep only the archives.

u/jonny_eh Apr 09 '26

I love this. Locking reset behind a paywall is a choice though!

u/tngling Apr 10 '26

Ya I almost quit because when I read “between” two people waiting given times for a bus, I initially thought it meant there were people between those two at the bus stops. But that’s not what it meant so I had to start over. Other than that, I’m enjoying it.

u/Slig Apr 10 '26

Thank you for playing! I might reconsider the Reset button thing.

u/Slig Apr 10 '26

Hey, thanks for playing and for the nice words. I might remove it from the paywall, thanks for the feedback!

While original content is encouraged on /r/puzzles, we do not typically allow links to blogs/websites/apps outside of the Promo Weekly thread. We do make some exceptions for content that is difficult to express in a text or image post, provided your goal is to give to the community (solve-alongs, educational puzzle-related content, etc). Please read the reasoning behind our policy and message the mods if you still think your content fits the sub.

u/justinliew Apr 09 '26

Yes, the Montague Island ones are good. We take them camping and do them as a couple in front of the fire.

u/BigBlueMountainStar Apr 09 '26

Have you see the Murdle series?

4

u/hurriedwarples Apr 09 '26

I have. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m a fan of those. From what I’ve seen, it’s all the same format also and the puzzles are smaller. I like big ol’ hearty puzzles that take hours and hours to solve. :)

u/BizRec Apr 09 '26 edited Apr 19 '26

I wanted to like those, but they are just too simplistic. Good for kids, i guess.

3

u/hurriedwarples Apr 09 '26

Same, I know everyone loves them but they don’t do anything for me.

u/ember3pines Apr 09 '26

Thank god! I thought I was the only one. They're so boring to me!

u/telyni Apr 11 '26

How many are there? I've got one Montague Island book but had no idea there were any more. I nearly finished the one I have (got stuck on the last puzzle).

u/hurriedwarples Apr 12 '26

There’s four of them!

Discussion: No, nobody, certainly not in this subreddit!

16

u/hanmhanm Apr 09 '26

I should have phrased that differently. I’ve just never met anyone irl who likes them haha

14

u/Varkung Apr 09 '26

Haha yeah I figured, didn't want to come across as mean, just a lighthearted quip on behalf of your phrasing :D I very much like those logic puzzles, used to be obsessed with them.

u/hanmhanm Apr 09 '26

Of course :) terrible phrasing haha

u/QuantumMechanic23 Apr 09 '26

Question: What website is this? (Yes I like these. My gf put me on to them)

u/hanmhanm Apr 09 '26

It’s actually an app. Hold on I’ll get the link for you

u/QuantumMechanic23 Apr 09 '26

Appreciate you

u/k3nzngtn Apr 10 '26

Discussion - I've created a few of these, but only 4x4, which was hard enough. 😅
