We make some
of the most difficult puzzles in the world.
If you've given
puzzles before and the person has always been able to do them
quickly then you may wish to give them puzzles rated between
8 and 10.
Whilst it is
important to present the person with a challenge you don't want
to discourage them by buying a puzzle they have no chance of
ever doing. So, if you're buying a person's first puzzle
it may be wise to begin at a puzzle rated 5 to 7 rather than
going for a 10 first up.
Of course,
sometimes the most fun can be had with the easiest puzzles. Puzzlers
always get a lot of enjoyment from sharing a seemingly simple
puzzle amongst friends; the one's that you know you should be
able to do but often take a little longer than expected (it always
seems a lot longer when someone else is watching).
To explain
how we rate puzzles:
- Difficulty
rating 1 are the easier puzzles to do and memorise. Difficulty
rating 10 is the most difficult to do and memorise.
- Puzzles rated
1, 2 or 3 may not take hours to do but there will always be some
challenge involved. Don't write off these puzzles as too easy
for adults.
- For a puzzle
to be rated a 9 or 10 it must be VERY difficult to complete the
puzzle, and VERY difficult to memorise the puzzle's solution.
- For example,
a puzzle rated 7 could take an average person a couple of hours
to do and then memorise.
- A puzzle rated
a 9 we expect that most people - say 80 % or so - will NEVER
be able to master the puzzle without assistance from the solution.
- How we present
some of our puzzles will also have a bearing on the rating we
give them. Some of our Interlocking puzzles are sold apart which
adds the challenge of having to put the puzzle together without
having first taken it apart.
