The GCHQ Puzzle Book Summary

The GCHQ Puzzle Book: Perfect for anyone who likes a good headscratcher by GCHQ

Sharpen your mind to beat the smartest brains in Britain with the original official GCHQ puzzle book

Would GCHQ recruit you? Pit your wits against the people who cracked Enigma in the official puzzle book from Britain's top secret intelligence and security organisation

Over the years, their codebreakers have helped keep our country safe, from the Bletchley Park breakthroughs of WWII to the modern-day threat of cyber attack. So it comes as no surprise that, even in their time off, the staff at GCHQ love a good puzzle.

Whether they're recruiting new staff or challenging each other to the toughest Christmas quizzes and treasure hunts imaginable, puzzles are at the heart of what GCHQ does. Now they're opening up their archives of decades' worth of codes, puzzles and challenges for everyone to try.

In this book you will find:


- Tips on how to get into the mindset of a codebreaker


- Puzzles ranging in difficulty from easy to brain-bending


- A competition section where we search for Britain's smartest puzzler


With hundreds of stimulating puzzles, The GCHQ Puzzle Book is the perfect companion and will keep you occupied as you attempt to beat the smartest brains in Britain.

GOOD LUCK!

The GCHQ Puzzle Book Reviews

A fiendish work, as frustrating, divisive and annoying as it is deeply fulfilling: the true spirit of Christmas * Guardian *
Surely the trickiest puzzle book in years. Crack these fiendish problems and Trivial Pursuit should be a doddle * Daily Telegraph *
Ideal for the crossword enthusiast * Daily Telegraph *
An explosion of a puzzle collection, too, with hundreds of questions and loads of peripheral material, including captioned photographs and history of twentieth-century British encryption, featuring the work of Alan Turing * The Times Literary Supplement *
This isn't your grandfather's Sudoku book. Rather, it's a puzzle compendium put together by the organisation that made the Bletchley Park breakthroughs - quizzes, bewilderments and brainteasers to challenge even the sharpest of minds * The Gentleman's Journal *
WINNER OF STOCKING FILLER OF THE YEAR AWARD * THE GUARDIAN *
