Frame Games: Wonderful Fun!

Terry Stickels is a great entertainer for the mind--and his puzzles are both challenging and wonderful fun for the entire family!

Frame Games is an entertaining challenge

I discovered the Frame Game phenomena about a year ago and have been busily buying up back issues. I find the puzzles deceptively challenging, and the Pocket Book addition lives up to that billing. I have been using this particular edition to introduce Frame Games to my friends. Everyone has found these brainteasers to be a real exercise in mental flexibility. Each time you solve a puzzle on a page, you feel a sense of accomplishment, but can't wait to get to the next one. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fun challenge. A good time will be had by all who read.

Lots of Fun and Good Challenges

Excellent and fun set of frame game puzzles. Its fun for a wide range of ages and even fun to do in groups. My whole family enjoys these puzzles. My brother and I (11 and 23) worked on them together (or in competition as brothers do) -- it was amazing, he really took to them and got many of them before me! Of course, at our house, I'm still king of our other puzzle book, "Are you as Smart as you Think?" ;-)

200 Fresh Puzzles = A Great Bargain

Terry's Frame Games have made him world famous, and just when you think all of the possible phrases and ways to utilize them in Frame Games puzzles have been used up, he makes more! All 200 (count 'em) of these puzzles are completely new. The answer to each puzzle is found 2 pages later, upside down, in small print, right at the bottom of the page. This keeps you from having to hunt around at the end of the book for the answers, but also from seeing the answer too soon by accident. At $9.95 for 200 puzzles, that's less than a nickel per Frame Game. You can't beat that.

Fabulous!

The puzzle master at his finest! You'll never be bored, I love trying to stay a step ahead of his work, but he always amazes me with a new twist. You'd think he's run out of ideas but there's always more. Pick it up for a short time or long. Terry is a master - I'm even getting into his Suduko book and can hardly wait to get his other new releases! You'll love them all!
