This book has been made to the highest quality; each puzzle is well thought out, presented clearly and each will be a lot of fun to run. I've already included two in a mini campaign of mine, both of which were received with great enthusiasm and enjoyment! This is a great supplement for D&D 5e, and I highly recommend this book to all. I can't wait to run the other puzzles, and I will be getting the other two books in the series. Thank you!

I've used all these puzzles in games I've run for teens and tweens, with great success! Very accessible, even for a younger audience.

Great puzzles and very easy to implement. I've inserted them into campaigns and used them to spice up one shots.

Great set of puzzles to drop into pretty much any setting. For someone like me, who loves using puzzles, traps, and related things in their games but is $h!t at designing their own, this has been a fantastic resource.

Having a Puzzle to pull out of the blue is always helpful, especaly when they come with handouts, maps and/or are well written.

My only complaint about this book is that there aren't more puzzles in it! While I haven't used every one yet, I've used a few of them and read through every one multiple times. My players have managed to solve them all and have fun doing so, and it helps me save so much time coming up with puzzles myself that would likely be too easy or too hard.

A very handy, well thought out set of puzzles. These can be easily inserted into any campaign and can be customized or given some sort of relevant meaning or hook within your setting.

Literally the first thing I've ever bought here and worth every penny. I'm frequently referring to this book for inspiration and I've blopped many of these puzzles into my ongoing campaigns. My players ALWAYS loved the little challenges, breaking up the usual combat-exploration-social routine. The hints and guidance makes it easy to scale the puzzles and support players (sometimes without them even noticing). That results in some great success experiences and can animate a whole table.

This book is really useful for slotting a puzzle into an adventure or campaign when you can't or don't want to think of your own. I tried out one of the puzzles on my group and they really enjoyed working it out. The puzzles are not too difficult so that a group would get stuck but offer enough of a brain teaser to make the players think. I really like the options to make them easier with extra clues if needed. The illustrations also make it easy to understand how the puzzles work.

Puzzles, Predicaments, and Perplexities This collection of puzzles for your stories and campaigns is a must have. If you're like me, it can be difficult to come up with a good and well balanced, yet challenging puzzle. This book has you covered. What is really cool is that it includes not only difficulty scaling for characters, but also the difficulty rating for the players themselves. While i think its a fine line between challenging the players and the characters, this product does so very well! Highly Recommend. We cover this and its successor on our show Crit Academy.

This book is great! Very understandable, very scalable, very creative, and most importantly full of puzzles that strike a delicate balance of interestingly complex while comprehensibly solvable.

I bought this just the other night because I knew I wanted a puzzle for my next session but I just didn't have the time or energy to come up with one. After pawing through the book for like 15 minutes I found the triangle door puzzle and it seemed perfect for what I needed. I drew up a piece of art (though I didn't need to thanks to the handy appendix handouts) and I was 100% ready to run the encounter.

Several things I really loved: 1) the variety of puzzles on hand 2) their wide-ranging customizability 3) every puzzle has a REALLY USEFUL section of hints and tips you can use to feed your players along the encounter - I didn't end up needing these for the session I ran but I was super glad they were there to rely on if my players got stuck and finally 4) the raising the stakes sections weren't applicable to my low-level group, but they will make this a product I'll return to when I run higher level sessions in other campaigns.

Overall I'd say it's a 5/5 or 9/10. I say 9/10 only because while every puzzle was comprehensible and didn't need more art, it would've been even better if there had been like a solid piece of art or two for every puzzle - I hope that a bigger budget allows for expansion like this in sequel products.

Great job!

Thank you so much for the generous review! I just wanted to say that yes, Volume 2 had a bigger budget and has more art that is specific to each puzzle!
