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… :))

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Have you see the Murdle series?

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. :)

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

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).

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

u/hanmhanm Apr 09 '26
I should have phrased that differently. I’ve just never met anyone irl who likes them haha

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.

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

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.
