The Puzzle Vanishes
Cora thinks that the worst problem in her life is the reappearance of her least favorite ex-husband, Melvin. Then a teen asks Cora to solve a puzzle that was just left at the teen’s house. Only before it can be solved, the puzzle disappears. Then the teen’s older brother reports finding a bloody knife in his bedroom even though there hasn’t been a murder. Is a corpse going to appear?
Fans of the series will be delighted with the latest installment. We get the usual banter as Cora causes havoc on her way to solving the case. The usual twists are there before we reach the logical solution. The characters are on the thin side, which is nothing new for the series, yet I’ve come to care for them and was glad to visit them again. I laughed multiple times along the way, and those who enjoy puzzles will be glad to know there are two crossword and one Sudoku along the way.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2204 KP) rated Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Kyle Keeley isn’t excited about the new library in town until he finds out that Mr. Lemoncello helped design it. It’s got to have plenty of cool stuff if the creator of so many amazing games is behind it. He is thrilled to win an overnight preview, but it turns into a contest the next day when he and the others inside the library learn they are in a contest to figure out puzzles to get out of the library. Can he do it?
I put this book off for too long. The story is fun and I got caught up in the action the further I went into the book. I’m not a puzzle person, but fortunately the characters figure things out for us. (I would be sunk in their position). Plus, I would absolutely love to visit this library. It sounds absolutely amazing.

Diggy's Adventure - Delightful game
I love this game!!
I play this on my tablet on a regular basis. I have to say that it is very addictive! This game is great at challenging your brain by setting out various different tasks/puzzles that really make you think.
It has a variety of different adventures that you can choose, so you never get bored. Or if you just want to play the main story, you can.....the choice is yours!
The only problem with this game is that I find the energy system is highly confusing and I still don't really understand it. I don't want to say to much as you will see what I mean if you play.
It does require some in app purchases, however, I don't think that they are too expensive.
Overall though. I would highly recommend this game!!

Contains spoilers, click to show
While watching this season it became apparent very quickly that it was a story that in some ways branched off from the film. The original librarian was off on his own adventure and this season was very much about the the three new ones and the guardian. There is a math wiz with a grape in her brain that gives her a 3D out of brain view of all things math which makes it easier to solve puzzles, there is a thief that can get in any where and also a architect/art history buff that can tell you what anything art related is or where it came from. Basically they have gotten the key aspect of the original librarian and split it in to three people and enhanced it by a thousand. If you like love mystery, action or just a good laugh there is every thing in this program.

What a horror game
Wow wow wow!! This game is like DnD, but the dungeon master is through the app. The app tells the story, tells what monsters appear, and keeps track of the story line. It is really nice because everyone playing can work together to finish the story and no one has to read aloud! The app details set up and where clues are.
The mystery is real. Going into the game no one knows anything. Monsters jump out at you, you have to figure out real puzzles and codebreakers to find clues. This game is pricey but one story takes an afternoon and is thrilling! By the end we were yelling at the TV trying to beat all the monsters! This game is amazing!

Lindsay (1717 KP) rated The Sleepwalking Vampire (The Decoders #3 in Books
Mar 29, 2020
The Sleepwalking Vampire is a unique story. This book got some original to it. Though this one was more entertaining and interesting read. I am not into vampires much at all. The way this book is focused on a friend's family member and her problem. It different in a way as the child think she is a vampire.
They think she a real one or at least one of them does. This mystery seems funnier. The way this one goes makes it believable. These detectives not own need to solve one mystery but two. They find out that jewelry is going missing.
This book and whole series is a good one for middle-grade children. If you enjoy solving puzzles and riddles and trying to figure out who done it? This book and series are good for your child or children. I do recommend it and each book has its mysteries to solve. This is a good Halloween story or book.
