Puzzles and Riddles

iOS iPhone

This app is now free. Please note that the current version does not support iOS4.

Many of today's puzzles and riddles are dumbed-down, easy to solve and boring. But we all love the way that puzzles and riddles are solved in tales like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and King Arthur.

Like Harry, Frodo and Merlin we also live in a curious world where the ability to creatively solve problems is essential for success.

'Puzzles and Riddles' includes 60 challenging, curious and ingenious problems set in medieval times from the much loved classic 'Canterbury Puzzles' (and other curious problems) by Henry Ernest Dudeney.

Praise for 'The Canterbury Puzzles'

"For the long winter evenings Mr. Dudeney's book of puzzledom is to be recommended. Mr. Dudeney has made a study of every kind of puzzle there is ... he supplies you with every kind of brain-twister."—The Daily Chronicle.

"Will enjoy the entertainment provided ... ingenious and witty."—The Guardian.

"Extremely ingenious book, which abounds in problems that will keep the reader busy for hours—until in despair he turns to the answers at the end."—Manchester Guardian.

You can ponder the puzzles on your own while waiting for the bus, over coffee at work or taking some time out in the bathroom (but of course you'd never do that... lol). If after some consideration and time you are unable to solve the puzzle, you can scroll down and the answer is revealed. No cheating please! We'll be watching.

Note: Puzzles and Riddles is based on an historical book and is intended for use as a reference.
